am very happy to report that my nephew now has a name and is in good health. He was born at the exact same time I did cross-examination at the High Court.

3.5 years ago my wife officially became a British citizen and this year she speaks to high British ministers and also our deputy PM. We are thankful for the Legal Aid we have received.

Voting is 2 days away.

2022: GNOME (IBM/Red Hat Staff) Promoting Microsoft’s ‘Security’ Scam With the ‘Secure’ Boot Sham (this developer now publicly complains that IBM forces him to paste in slop instead of code)

2024 (‘Secure’ Boot sabotages dual-booting): Good Reason to Delete Windows, Not Dual-Boot, and Call Out the Microsofters Who Worked to Impose ‘Secure’ Boot, Undermining Antitrust Complaints

Last week (FUD against dual-booting): Poor Piece From Valnet: Microsoft Keeps Sabotaging GNU/Linux, So You Should Quit Using GNU/Linux

ou want to use GNU/Linux? To join 7.7% of the world? Why would you want to do that? Use Windows. Try WSL.

That is what they are trying to tell us and the companies that employ us. GNU/Linux is “dangerous”, “untrusted”, and “unreliable”.

have long been fascinated (in the “annoyed” sense) by/with people so cold-hearted that they would do anything for money, even utterly illegal things. Some of them would not even deny it to themselves; they just simple don’t care.

The first time it was made abundantly clear to me was in 2003. I met a person who worked towards an MBA and he said the darnest thing out loud. He was a sociopath of the worst kind.

A world without love and empathy would be a dark place. Sadly, many of the largest and most powerful companies out there are run by sociopaths who lack empathy.

understand that tomorrow there will be a decision issued by the High Court pertaining to a 2025 case which involves me. I will get a chance to write about it some time tomorrow or later this week.

ver two years ago Rianne and colleagues celebrated her site that she curates turning 20. Back then the site and its community were besieged by American aggressors. The aggression did not end well. Rianne and the site received more publicity, more people offered to help/contribute, and last month we all celebrated in northern England as the site turned 22.

met Rianne in 2011 (somebody’s birthday party) and we began dating a year later. Later this year it’ll be exactly 15 years since we first met.

Rianne and I were colleagues for nearly a decade, nowadays we are busy fighting for the tech community in court. We oppose misogyny, harassment and violence against women, we defend Computer Science, and we promote computer security through Free software.

Rianne is my other half and I am hers. No amount of litigation can change that.

T seems like after some feedback Daniel has made it easier to assess what he stands for.
