Updated This Past Day

  1. BetaNews is Now Officially a Spamfarm With Phantom Authors and Fake Text (SPAM and Linkspam Made With LLM Slop)
    That's it, the site is virtually dead now (maybe that was the plan all along)
  2. Hazem Abbas of medevel is Ruining His Site With LLM Slop
    Some of his articles are original, but now everything is suspect
  3. Free Software Foundation: Anchoring the FSF in its values
    Original by Free Software Foundation
  4. GNU/Linux Surges to All-Time Highs in Greenland, Windows Sinks to All-Time Lows
    a lot of GNU/Linux gets detected there lately
  5. Microsoft in Trouble as Azure Breaks and Only Days After Promising Investment in "Datacentres" Construction of Actual Datacentres Paused (Expect More Azure Layoffs Very Soon)
    No wonder many people who got trapped inside Azure quit Azure, which keeps bleeding (losses and layoffs)

  6. Links 11/01/2025: Social Control Media Facing Sanctions, Carter Respected at Funeral
    Links for the day
  7. If TikTok (China) Has the Rights of American Persons, Then ByteDance Can be Sentenced to Death
    TikTok - like Julian Assange - does not enjoy any protections of the First Amendment and since it's not a person it would lack these protections as an American company, too
  8. After a Year of Layoffs in Microsoft Nigeria (and Microsoft in Africa at Large) Windows Falls to New Lows and Bing Falls to 0.46% "Market Share"
    Of course Microsoft gave bribes in Nigeria to suppress GNU/Linux adoption
  9. An Important Lesson About Patents and Patent Maximalism (They Drive People and Companies Away)
    This previously happened in Texas, where companies perceived their presence (in any form) to be a liability as patent trolls could drag them to friendly courts and win "damages"
  10. When It Comes to Fentanylware (TikTok), a Digital Weapon of a Hostile Entity, Common Dreams is Jumping the Shark Again (Years After It Ran Out of Steam or Money)
    Or maybe it likes the agenda promoted (curated) by Fentanylware (TikTok) and its parent company, Bytedance or Chinese Community Party (CPP)
  11. [Meme] Real and Fake (or "several influential "open source" organizations [which] have come to be dominated by large companies")
    The Free Software Foundation has not sold out
  12. Microsoft's "Donald Trump First" Doctrine
    national deficits growing
