What struck him as absurd was what Xerox had done around 1980. In 1983 (just over 42 years ago) he announced GNU. Since then the abusive, user-hostile technology has spread like mushrooms. We need to put our foot down and put an end to it. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Samsung Is Forcing Ads Onto $3,000 Fridges⦈ ⠻⠻⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠋

We used to go out and celebrate_it, but nowadays we're more devoted to housekeeping and coffee. We expect to run this site nonstop until Christmas when everything slows down considerably. We managed not to fall behind during the summer holidays, either. The site passed from the US to the UK almost exactly 12 years ago.

As time has passed and I've made more extensive customizations to my MH-E environment, this has continued. One of the recent ways I've noticed is that I'm slowly making more and more use of the fact that GNU Emacs is a multi-window editor ('multi- frame' in Emacs terminology) and reading email with MH-E inside it still leaves me with all of the basic Emacs facilities. Specifically, I can create several Emacs windows (frames) and use this to be working in multiple MH folders at the same time. * ⚓ SusamPal ☛ QuickQWERTY_1.1.0⠀⇛ There has been a new release of QuickQWERTY after over 10 years! QuickQWERTY is a web-based touch typing tutor for QWERTY keyboards that runs directly in the web browser.

Since I started making money using (and growing) my technical skills, it never once occurred to me that I’d be doing anything other than writing FOS software. Which is why over the years as I grew up the Engineer Value Stack* in my career, I started shedding some things that once used to give my joy.

I had concluded that I was mostly a glorified Jira wrangler (the modern equivalent of the “paper pusher” slur one could use to denigrate anybody who doesn’t do Real Work™) and I wasn’t needed. [...] Was it the fact that all of the most amazing leaders in the GNU tools ecosystem were there? Or was it the relief at seeing an old friend and mentor (I don’t know if he knows how much my interactions with him meant to me) safe and doing well? Or, in fact, was it the realization of how much I owe it to pretty much every person who has been coming to Cauldron regularly, probably with their own personal reasons, but leaving their own, indelible impression on me as a person? Or, of course, the annual JL (if you know you know) therapy session? Maybe it was the fantastic surprise musical performance by a group of school kids, which reminded me of my kiddo back home. OK maybe that one actually had me longing to return home soon. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Brave_Browser_Introduces_Ask_Brave,_Merging Search_and_AI⠀⇛ The idea behind Ask Brave is straightforward: instead of requiring people to bounce between a standard search engine and a separate AI chatbot, Brave now combines both in one place. You can type in a simple search query and get links, videos, or products, or you can ask more detailed questions and get a longer, chat-like answer with follow-ups. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ How_to_change_address_bar_color_in_Firefox 143⠀⇛ Come Firefox 143, the address bar tweak no longer works. Namely, I have changed the pointless gray background to white, so there's more contrast between the URL text and the canvas on which it is written. The whole gray on gray nonsense is exactly that. But alas, Mozilla decided to make my life harder, and based on the emails in my inbox, yours too. Well, we shall rectify this. Let me show you the code you need to introduce to your CSS to tweak the address bar background color to anything you like. After me. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ AI_answers_Microsoft_licensing_questions,_helps you_choose⠀⇛ He compares selecting the correct licensing model to "having to spin the wheel," where Microsoft might say one thing, the partner ecosystem might say another, and LLMs such as Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT might come up with something else. That's hardly ideal for an organization faced with spending several million dollars or more per year on licensing. o ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ FAA's_proposed_Part_108_drone_rules_raise concerns_for_DJI⠀⇛ The FAA’s proposed Part 108 regulations are supposed to revolutionize Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations in the United States. And though the drone industry has largely applauded the proposed changes, there are still some concerns. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ APNIC ☛ Geolocation_and_Starlink⠀⇛ Why are these geolocation databases useful? There are obvious uses in the ongoing fight against various forms of cyberattacks, trying to de-anonymize the identity and location of the attacker. This information is also used in attempting to enforce various intellectual property rights that are often assigned to rights holders on an economy-by-economy basis. And then there are statistical reports. Economies like to compare themselves to others. But even simple questions, such as ‘How many Internet users are in each economy?’ are challenging to answer without the underlying seed data of a geolocation database. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 762 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2025 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Matthew_Gaudet:_Summer_of_Sharpening⠀⇛ As we head into fall, I wanted to write up a bit of an experience report on a project I ran this summer with a few other people on the SpiderMonkey team.

Myself, I blocked off 2 hours every Friday through the summer. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Localization_(L10N):_Localizer_Spotlight: Selim⠀⇛ About You My name is Selim and I’m the Turkish localization manager.

Big tech will not give us control—we have to take it. Free and Open Source (FOSS) software gives us a path forward. The path isn't easy, but I argue nothing worthwhile is. [...] None of what I am writing is without precedent. The FOSS eco-system was born because some programmers refused to abide by the rules. Linus Torvalds refused and created a free Unix-system that runs a vast majority of the underlying infrastructure that powers the modern internet. Richard Stallman refused, and created a text editor that is beloved by both software engineers and writers alike. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Creating_Python_GUIs_With_GIMP⠀⇛ GUI design can be a tedious job, requiring the use of specialist design tools and finding a suitable library that fits your use case. If you’re looking for a lightweight solution, though, you might consider just using a simple image editor with a nifty Python library that [Manish Kathuria] whipped up. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 861 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/Games_Steam_OpenMW_Electronic_Arts_EA_Taken_Over_Splatterbot_an.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/Games_Steam_OpenMW_Electronic_Arts_EA_Taken_Over_Splatterbot_an.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam, OpenMW, Electronic Arts (EA) Taken Over, Splatterbot, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Autumn_Sale_2025_is_live_now_with_tons_of discounts⠀⇛ The Steam Autumn Sale 2025 is now live and with it you can get lots of games heavily discounted, one of the best times to stock up.

At first glance, that may seem rather nonsensical, as Discord is a proprietary chat service and neither a hardware device nor something else that may seem like an obvious target for being (ab)used for demon-shooting points. That is, until you look at Discord’s content embedding feature. This is where [PortalRunner]’s Doomcord hack comes into play, allowing you to play the entire game in a Discord client by submitting text messages after embedding a very special image URL. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1028 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/GNOME_49_Support_New_Keyboard_Options_Added_to_Tiling_Shell.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/GNOME_49_Support_New_Keyboard_Options_Added_to_Tiling_Shell.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNOME 49 Support, New Keyboard Options Added to Tiling Shell⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Your_save_layout_can_now_be_activated_using_a_keyboard switcher⦈_ Quoting: GNOME 49 Support, New Keyboard Options Added to Tiling Shell - OMG!

If you plan to install or upgrade to Ubuntu 25.10 next month, that will be welcome news. So what’s new? Tiling Shell v17 adds a new option to raise windows together when using alt + tab to switch between apps (if you never use it, this addition won’t be of much interest to you). If you do, it means you can bring all of your tiled windows to the front in one go by selecting a new ’tiled layout’ option that appears. This is handy for those who have a set of tiled window, but may also have other windows open as well.

It is in “community maintenance” mode, which means it depends on downstream code submissions and careful bug reports. Sometimes I have time to work on it, outside of any particular distro. It would be correct to say it is “slow going”. But that doesn’t mean there are no changes! Just this week a new language was requested, Luganda, bringing the total to 79. Not all of the languages have enough coverage to be included in the language drop-down, but all of them have translators working on bringing the installer to their locale.

When they aren’t driving your screen, they are decoding video, crunching physics models, or processing large-language model algorithms. But it wasn’t always like that. The old video cards were downright simple. Once PCs gained more sophisticated buses, video cards got a little better. But hardware acceleration on an old- fashioned VGA card would be unworthy of the cheapest burner phone at the big box store. Not to mention, the card is probably twice the size of the phone. [Bits and Bolts] has a look at several old cards, including a PCI version of the Tseng ET4000, state-of-the-art of the late 1990s. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Replaced_Notepad++_on_Linux_With_This_Text Editor⠀⇛ One of the most missed software when switching to Linux is Notepad++. Many Windows users love it due to its simplicity and programming-related features. There are many modern text editors on Linux that do a great job. After some searching, I've found one that I like a lot. § My Experience With Text Editors on Linux With my time on Linux, exploring different distros and desktop environments, I had my chance to use many different text editors. There are the classic ones, such as Vim, nano, and Emacs, which still live up to their reputation. Then there are more distro-specific editors such as gedit, Mousepad, and Xed. All of them are great editors and have their advantages. What made text editing a much more enjoyable task for me than a boring chore, though, is Sublime Text. I first learned about it when I tried my hand at competitive programming challenges. Turns out, Sublime Text is not for programmers only; it's also a powerful editor for writers. That's when I fell in love with it. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ Update:_using_a_website_as_your_screen saver_—_Debian⠀⇛ This post replaces an old one.

You always have to rely on some mix of texting apps, email, or cloud storage to share files and text across platforms. Or so I thought. Turns out, the developers of KDE Plasma (the Linux desktop environment) have made an app that lets you seamlessly send files and clipboard text back and forth between any device. Let me introduce you to KDE Connect and show you how you can use it. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Session_save_in_lockdown-mode_fixed_and_improved⠀⇛ I posted that lockdown-mode fixed for overlayfs: However, saving while in lockdown-mode is broken.

Even those distributions that include a host of applications don't always get the collection of pre-installed apps quite right. From my experience, there are certain apps that should be considered "must haves" for every new user, and it often confuses me why they aren't included in many of the major distributions. The good news is that there are plenty of apps to easily install, most of which are found in the standard repositories.

It’s an experiment in many ways, but also a great demonstration not only of what is possible with the kinds of open tools and hardware available to a modern hobbyist, but also a reminder of just how far some of these software tools have come in only a few short years. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Legendary_Sound_Blaster_2.0_ISA_card_revived_by hardware_enthusiast_—_1994_relic_restored_to_former_glory⠀⇛ The quick history (more below) is that the Sound Blaster 2.0 was the second iteration of the eponymous card, combining AdLib-compatible FM synth music capability with real, sampled sound output, for arguably the first coherent aural experience in games and multimedia in the era, seeing as it was effectively two cards in one — or three, even with the optional Creative Music System compatibility expansion chips. * ⚓ Interesting Engineering ☛ Spider-like_robot_can_3D_print_homes_in_a_day to_fight_housing_crunch⠀⇛ Reportedly, the large hexapod robot can 3D print a 200-square- metre house in 24 hours. Charlotte combines robotics and 3D printing to transform raw materials directly into structural walls. * ⚓ Colin Leroy-Mira ☛ Optimizing_a_6502_image_decoder,_from_70_minutes_to 1_minute⠀⇛ When I set out to write a program that would allow me to do basic digital photography on the Apple II, I decided I would do it with the Quicktake cameras. It seemed the obvious choice as they were Apple cameras, and their interface to the computer is via serial port. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_chest_contains_the_beating_heart_of_Davy_Jones⠀⇛ The chest built by Grendel Studios isn’t an exact replica of what we see in the movie, but it is similar in all of the important ways and would be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the film. When you get close to the chest, you’ll hear the steady beating of a heart. If you have the key, you can insert it into the lock and turn it. When you do, bolts all around the lid will disengage and you’re free to open the chest. Do that and you’ll see a realistic heart thumping away. * ⚓ Corsix ☛ RISC-V_Conditional_Moves⠀⇛ I'm a big fan of aarch64's csel family of instructions. A single instruction can evaluate rd = cond ? rs1 : f(rs2), where cond is any condition code and f is any of f0(x) = x or f1(x) = x+1 or f2(x) = ~x or or f3(x) = -x. Want to convert a condition to a boolean? Use f1 with rs1 == rs2 == x0. Want to convert a condition to a mask? Use f2 with rs1 == rs2 == x0. Want to compute an absolute value? Use f3 with rs1 == rs2. It is pleasing that the composition of f1 and f2 is f3. I could continue espousing, but hopefully you get the idea. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1663 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/patches_and_more.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/patches_and_more.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (avahi, cups, firefox, gnutls, golang, httpd, kernel, libtpms, mysql, opentelemetry-collector, php:8.2, podman, postgresql:13, postgresql:15, python3, python3.11, python3.12, python3.9, thunderbird, and udisks2), Debian (firefox-esr, gimp, nncp, node-tar-fs, and squid), Fedora (chromium, firebird, python- azure-keyvault-securitydomain, python-azure-mgmt-security, and python-microsoft-security-utilities-secret-masker), Red Hat (httpd:2.4, kernel, kernel-rt, and mod_http2), SUSE (aide, apache2-mod_security2, chromedriver, cloud-init, docker, gdk- pixbuf, git, google-osconfig-agent, govulncheck-vulndb, gstreamer-plugins-base, iperf, kernel, krb5, krita, luajit, net-tools, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed, pam, postgresql17, python311, rust-keylime, sevctl, tor, tree-sitter-ruby, and udisks2), and Ubuntu (curl, ghostscript, inetutils, python2.7, and qtbase-opensource-src). * ⚓ NVISO Labs ☛ You_name_it,_VMware_elevates_it_(CVE-2025-41244)⠀⇛ NVISO has identified zero-day exploitation of CVE-2025-41244, a local privilege escalation vulnerability impacting VMware's guest service discovery features. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Tile_exploit_could_let_stalkers_follow_you_with_your own_tracker_—_Bluetooth_broadcasting_flaw_is_relatively_simple_to exploit,_researchers_discover⠀⇛ Georgia Institute of Technology researchers found design flaws in Tile location trackers that can be abused to stalk their owners. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Increase_in_Scans_for_Palo_Alto_Global_Protect_Vulnerability_ (CVE-2024-3400),_(Mon,_Sep_29th)⠀⇛ We are all aware of the abysmal state of security appliances, no matter their price tag.

Software engineers call it "rubber duck debugging". So, where did this term come from and why is it so effective? * ⚓ Great Lakes Consulting Services Inc ☛ MATLAB_vs_Julia:_Best_Programming Language_for_Renewable_Energy_Simulations⠀⇛ When air flows past a wind turbine, a wake forms downstream. The wake velocity deficit impacts turbine spacing, efficiency, and power output. A simplified steady axisymmetric turbulent wake equation is: \[ \frac{\partial U}{\partial x} = \nu_t \cdot \left( \frac {\partial^2 U}{\partial r^2} + \frac{1}{r} \frac{\partial U} {\partial r} \right) \] where: \( U \) is the axial velocity. \( x \) is the downstream distance. \( r \) is the radial coordinate. \( \nu_t \) is the turbulent viscosity. This is a reduced form of the momentum equation, capturing diffusion of momentum due to turbulence. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ The_smallest_number_that_is_infinite⠀⇛ In software, we represent real numbers as binary floating-point numbers. Effectively, we represent real numbers as a fixed- precision integer (the significand) multiplied by a power of two. Thus we do not represent exactly the number ‘pi’, but we get a very close approximation: 3.141592653589793115997963468544185161590576171875. The first 16 digits are exact. * ⚓ Julian Andres Klode ☛ Dependency_Tries⠀⇛ As I was shopping groceries I had a shocking realization: The active dependencies of packages in a solver actually form a trie (a dependency A|B - “A or B” - of a package X is considered active if we marked X for install). * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2025.39_Inversion_of_Control⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Anže Pečar ☛ Migrating_Gunicorn_to_Granian⠀⇛ I migrated one of my Django apps from Gunicorn to Granian yesterday.

To build resilient and fault-tolerant applications, we must isolate failures and prevent them from spreading. The circuit breaker is a critical design pattern that addresses this challenge by temporarily blocking traffic to a service that it detects as unhealthy, giving it time to recover. This guide shows you how to configure, trigger, and monitor a circuit breaker using Red Bait OpenShift Service Mesh 3.0. By the end, you'll have a hands-on understanding of how to use Istio's outlier detection to automatically improve your application's stability on OpenShift. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Analysis_of_OpenShift_node-system-admin-client_lifespan⠀⇛ In Red_Hat_OpenShift_Container_Platform (RHOCP), a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) managed by various operators secures internal communication. One critical component is the node-system-admin-client certificate, which is used by the system:admin user. This user possesses the cluster-admin role, granting it the highest level of privileges required for cluster administration and maintenance tasks. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Simplify_virtualization_deployments_with_the Assisted_Installer [Ed: Red Hat managed to spend as day not talking buzzwords like "AI"]⠀⇛ The Assisted Installer simplifies the process of deploying connected OpenShift clusters by providing a guided, automated experience. Instead of relying on a dedicated bootstrap machine, the installer handles cluster bootstrapping as part of the installation process, reducing complexity and time to deployment. Available through a web-based UI, or API, the Assisted Installer gives you flexibility in how you manage installations. You can also integrate it with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management to simplify deployment and ongoing management across multiple clusters, while still retaining the option to enable OpenShift Virtualization during installation. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Device_Edge:_Decision_framework⠀⇛ Edge computing presents unique challenges that demand strategic technology decisions. With Red Hat's expanding portfolio of edge solutions, organizations often find themselves weighing multiple options: deploy standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), opt for Red Hat Device Edge, or implement Red Hat OpenShift at the edge? Whether you're planning your first edge deployment or optimizing an existing infrastructure, we’ll help you evaluate where Red Hat Device Edge fits into your strategy. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Migrating_to_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization_with NetApp_FlexPod⠀⇛ Even highly effective traditions must evolve to meet changing needs. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Managing_Red_Hat_Device_Edge:_Tools_and_strategies⠀⇛ In part 1 of this two-part blog series, we introduced the decision framework for Red Hat Device Edge, when it makes sense compared to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or Red Hat OpenShift, and the unique role of MicroShift in enabling Kubernetes at the edge. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bridging_the_gap:_Secure_virtual_and_container workloads_with_Red_Hat_OpenShift_and_Palo_Alto_Networks⠀⇛ Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization combined with Palo Alto Networks VM-Series software firewalls helps address these complexities where they typically arise.  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1996 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/The_Future_of_GNU_Linux_is_GNU_Coreutils.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/30/The_Future_of_GNU_Linux_is_GNU_Coreutils.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Future of GNU/Linux is GNU Coreutils⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2025, updated Sep 30, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Cat_hiding_in_the_grass⦈_ The command cat (Unix) had its initial release on November 3rd, 1971, i.e. almost 54 years ago.

To make a point: Lots of narcissism from Microsoft Lunduke is an everyday spectacle (painting himself as a hero using memes about himself). It looks ugly, if not mildly psychopathic. He really craves attention. To the point he'd_abuse_and_lie_about_people_to_earn_attention. Some people in the Free software world have publicly asked, many times in fact, what's the best way to deal with such stuff (other than censorship/ deplatforming)? Well, making people better aware of these 'cowboys' and their toxic tactics (e.g. siccing_trolls_at_us; he's not_alone) can work. It is not the same as sending them "traffic", as that can be done tactfully and sensibly, even responsibly. These online cowboys are not a new phenomenon. Even back in the 90s there were sites of right-wing pundits with their name (followed by "Report" after that). We don't want to name them all. It's not a new problem and dealing with it isn't too hard. So little has changed since then, except maybe the terms used. Before there was a "podcast" or "show" (e.g. Rogan") we had things like "Drudge Report". Who still reads Drudge Report in 2025? █ ⣷⣦⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠁⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⡤⠀⡅⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣜⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠿⣾⣰⠧⠀⠀⠀⠐⠖⠞⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠭⠭⠌⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⢘⣧⣄⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢙⠀⣸⡇⡀⢻⣲⢶⣶⡖⠂⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⡀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣏⣿⠆⠀⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢣⣿⢰⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣻⣦⣤⣿⣿⣤⣾⣿⣷⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⠟⠛⠉⠉⠻⠛⢿⣭⣭⣕⣲⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣰⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣟⠿⠟⠻⢿⠈⠉⠁⠘⢁⠐⣿⠿⣵⣶⣶⣼⢟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠙⢫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⠿⠶⠉⠁⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠙⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣯⢁⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠂⠈⠀⣸⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⠀⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣴⣿⣿⠟⠋⢠⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⢿⣾⢿⣿⣯⣶⡾⠟⣛⢻⣿⣿⡃⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⣰⠟⠁⠀⠀⠖⣒⣀⠀⠀⠏⢠⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠿⣿⠿⠏⠁⣨⠾⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣯⠀⣿⣯⠚⠛⠛⠉⠁⣀⣠⣤⣶⠿⢿⣿⣿⣷⣆⠀⠉⠿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠏⠀⢀⠀⢠⡄⢿⣿⣿⣦⡀⢸⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠧⠐⢊⣀⣀⡤⡞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢻⡇⣴⣿⣿⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⣀⣤⠈⢻⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠙⢧⡀⠀⣰⠋⢀⣤⢈⣷⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠁⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⣤⡴⠖⠋⠉⠰⢱⠃⠠⠾⣿⣿⡗⠋⠉⢿⣿⣿⣥⡄⠀⠀⢸⡟⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠒⠃⠀⠚⠻⢇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣰⠚⠳⡄⠁⠀⠀⠁⣼⢿⠏⠀⠐⠒⣀⡀⢀⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡿⣡⢖⡎⠁⠀⠀⠀⢠⠃⡎⠀⣠⡿⠋⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡿⣿⣆⣴⡟⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣠⣿⡿⢿⣿⠇⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠧⡴⣾⣿⣿⣿⡄⠧⡷⠀⠀⢀⡼⠋⡱⡄⢀⣶⣀⣿⣧⢿⣯⣽⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣧⣵⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⢠⠂⣸⣧⣭⣤⣤⣤⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢩⣿⢿⠴⠿⠛⠫⣻⡸⠃⠀⠒⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⡛⣩⣶⣅⠀⠀⠀⢠⠞⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⣏⣀⣙⣻⣿⡆⠀⠀⠄ ⣫⣿⣿⡿⠚⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⡏⢖⢀⣠⣾⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⢶⣶⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⡿⠿⡇⠀⠐⠃⣴⣿⡿⣿⡿⠉⠀⠔⠀⠈⣉⣉⠩⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡠⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣧⠀⣾⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⣷⠀⣫⣿⢻⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠹⡄⠀⠚⠂⠂⣼⠏⢀⣐⡄⠀⠡⠶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢸ ⠀⠈⠀⠀⠸⠉⠀⢀⣤⣼⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⠀⠛⢿⣿⣆⠀⠑⠀⠀⠀⠘⡿⠟⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠄⣰⣿⣶⣿⡿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠁⠀⣄⣧⣀⠷⠀⢀⣄⣿⣯⣼⣿⢿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠹⠿⣿⣿⣆⢿⣷ ⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠛⠛⢷⣦⠈⣧⢿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠈⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⢿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡹⢿⣷⡄⠀⠙⢛⡋⠁⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣻⡽⣳⡿⠁⠀⢠⣤⣄⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⡰⢲ ⣢⠚⡉⠀⢰⠟⣉⣿⣿⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⢨⣥⣾⣿⡄⠸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣠⠏⡇⣾⣯⠀⠀⠀⢶⣶⣿⣿⡀⠀⠙⠿⠀⣄⠀⣰⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣩⣼⡟⢡⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢳⣌⠛⠿⡿⠃⢠ ⢉⠜⠀⠴⠓⠉⢴⣿⣿⠟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠈⠀⠈⠓⢄⢠⢹⣆⠀⡦⠂⠀⢸⢠⣿⡀⣠⡾⠋⡀⣧⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣾⣦⣤⡀⠀⣿⠷⣿⢺⠀⠀⠄⠀⡿⣼⠟⠁⡜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣆⢠⣦⣼ ⠈⠀⡀⠀⠀⣴⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠆⣿⡄⠁⠀⠀⣾⠠⣿⡇⣠⣴⢶⠿⣯⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣧⡉⠂⢸⡄⠹⣸⠀⠀⠐⠀⠰⠏⠀⠜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⡏⠉⠁ ⠄⠀⠀⠀⡨⠜⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢔⣫⣾⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣆⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠠⠎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠁⢸⡀ ⣄⢀⠴⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢄⢠⣿⣿⣿⣯⣳⡿⠋⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢁⣿⠁⢿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿ ⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠂⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠉⠒⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⢀⠨⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⢲⠀⠀⠀⠀ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2785 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 36 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
