Updated This Past Day

  1. Computers as a Heat Source
    suppose you have over a dozen activated monitors in a room or two
  2. When They Insist That Getting Rid of Paper Receipts and Paper Trail of All Kinds is Better (Manchester City Council and the "Smart" or "App" Mindset)
    just classic greenwashing

    New

  3. Using Microsoft Chatbot to Generate Microsoft FUD Against SSH/OpenSSH
    It's from the "prime suspect"
  4. Free Software Cannot Rely on Politicians, They Don't Even Care About Software, They Only or Mostly Care About Money
    There's no simple solution to this situation short of revolutionising the political system
  5. No, There's No "Age Of AI" or "Era Of AI" or "AI Revolution" or "AI Arms Race", It's Just a Dying Tech Industry Looking to Prop Up Its Valuation Using Hype and False Marketing of Mostly Dysfunctional Tools
    Please, enough with this nonsense
  6. [Meme] Just a Draft, Nothing Professional Like GNU
    the FSF is ~40,000 dollars short of its goal
  7. Draft About Drafts
    The static site generator (SSG) is improving
  8. Gemini Links 09/01/2025: Domain Changes, Dirty Links, and OpenWRT
    Links for the day
  9. Links 09/01/2025: X-Book (Facebook) Follows the MElon (Musk) Model and X Comes Under EU Investigation for Inciting
    Links for the day
  10. [Meme] Microsoft's Scam Altman, Bigger Scammer Than 'Crypto' 'Currency' 'Exchanges'
    More pollution, too
  11. Interest in Microsoft Waning, Company Deep in Debt and Mass Layoffs Implemented Every Month Since 2023
    As fewer people still use Windows (over time many move to Android or whatever) that site, microsoft.com, will likely languish some more
  12. Microsoft Says Scale of Layoffs in January 2025 is Several Thousands
    Microsoft is the first of GAFAM to announce layoffs in 2025
  13. Microsoft Windows Continues to Sink in India
    The consistent and almost linear decrease will continue because Microsoft has nothing in store other than vapourware and mass layoffs
  14. statCounter Has Outdated and Unfit-for-Purpose User-Agent Parsers
    poor recognition or parsing or classification of User-Agent strings
  15. [Meme] GAFAM Buying Shares in NYSE:EFF
    To the ordinary person, today's EFF isn't a go-to protector, it's just meant to look like one
  16. Sometimes the EFF Prefers to Talk About Sex, Not Tech (or Unnecessarily Conflate the Two Things)
    The old name (or brand) remains; the goals? Not so much...
  17. Beta'News' Still a Spamfarm Run by Bots
    It's a source of Web pollution
  18. Links 09/01/2025: Software Patents Squashed, Meta Becomes "MAGA" Booster
