Unfortunately the main Wired article is paywalled, but we get some quotes from Slashdot. I highlighted this in the past in a post with the WEF presentation about brain transparency, where they were working towards monitoring employees during work hours…
The bit about the board of the captured Linux Foundation having a lot of hardware makers represented, with the conspiracy being this leading to old hardware support being dropped is very telling. No economic interest there. As we’re heading into…
I’ve been running Manjaro since Arch broke my old Chromebook eMMC drive on an update, and it’s been working great with the only thing being I have to manually install the linux-zen kernel because it’s not in the Manjaro repo.…
This explanation of a particular Flock ALPR camera feature is disturbing, as they do have the ability to apply text recognition for bumper stickers. And this would apply to the lettering and images placed on windows as well. And we’ll…
Since this is a global push and coordinated around the world, what’s happening in Brazil gives some insight in what they’d like to do elsewhere. Brazil’s virtual patrol rule also lets police pull connection data with no warrant. By…

Even here in Cheyenne, our local city council and mayor are not looking out for the best interests of the community, and you have to wonder what is incentivizing them to approve all these data centers? Beyond bribes of some…
This is very interesting in that governments are stepping out of the shadows and getting directly involved verses the subtle megacorp board co-opting of opensource projects. The German government has now donated to Arch to rewrite Pacman in Rust, as…
Worth pointing out the Linux Foundation is a megacorp captured entity, who manage the Linux kernel project, and lately they’ve been showing that they’re going to be a problem. They’re forcing in Rust and AI code was the start, but…
