Echoing recent viral comments by music superstar Billie Eilish, Maine Democratic candidate for US Senate Graham Planter is also arguing that the existence of billionaires cannot be justified in a world where working-class people with multiple jobs still cannot afford the basic necessities of life.

In video clip posted Friday of a campaign event in the northern town of Caribou from last month, Platner rails against the “structures” of an economy in which billionaires with vast personal fortunes use their wealth to bend government—including the tax code—to conform to their interests while working people are left increasingly locked out of controlling their own destinies, both materially and politically.

Back in 2020, we announced a Kickstarter for a book. At first, a simple venture into book publishing, ended up turning in a 2+ year saga as we dealt with pandemics, global conflicts and on a personal level, massive life changing upheavals. Now, five years later, the book is heading to retail – Xbox: The Console & The Games is available – right now!

We’d seen the constant demands for an opportunity to get hold of a copy of our first ever Kickstarter, Celebrating 20 Years of Xbox, and we felt awful that we don’t have the means to bring it to people on a large scale – even our ill-fated “second-print run” was a unsuccessful – people just don’t like the extra barrier of creating a Kickstarter account. We get it.

Now, thanks to the very cool folks at Book Publisher Pen & Sword/White Owl, a new, retail release of our book is available for preorder. Renamed to “Xbox: The Console and The Games“, this new version contains all the contents of the original, with a brand new cover from our amazing art and design lead, Predrag.

For a long time, what is now considered to be a prime candidate for the title of the ‘world’s first microprocessor’ was a very well-kept secret for nearly 30 years. The MP944 is the inauspicious name of the chip we want to highlight today. It was developed to be the brains behind the U.S. Navy’s F-14 Tomcat’s Central Air Data Computer (CADC). Thus, it isn’t surprising that the MP944 was a cut above the Intel 4004, the world’s first commercial microprocessor, which was designed to power a desktop calculator.

Traefik, a well-known name in cloud-native open-source proxies, released version 3.6, “Ramequin,” bringing together three major additions, with the multi-layer routing support being the most significant one.

It introduces a hierarchical router structure that allows request processing to occur in sequential steps. A parent router can authenticate a request or add headers, while child routers use the enriched data to make the final routing decision.

Linus Torvalds is out today with the eighth weekly test release of the Linux 6.18 kernel in working toward the stable release at the end of the month.

Linux 6.18-rc6 is out today with another week's worth of random fixes and improvements. It was a fairly smooth week and things appear to be pacing well for releasing Linux 6.18 stable on time in two weeks: 30 November. Otherwise there could be a one-week slip to 7 December but as it stands now it looks like it will be tracking well for releasing at the end of November.

Here's the whole process. Photo references, my drawings, drafts and end results.

Grieving Doves’ “march of grief” #Berlin, 2025-11-16

>> On the national day of grief, #Germany observes a day of silence and commemorates victims of war and oppression. The collective @grieving_doves called for a march of grief through Berlin to grieve Palestinian martyrs. The group meets weekly to write names of deceased Palestinians with their age on strips of fabric that they then sow onto wings. ...

>> A few short speeches were held, sang some commemorative songs sung and then the roughly 150 people present walked in silence. They were accompanied by a significant showing of police, with riot gear at the ready. There was also a small counterprotest, playing loud classical music as the procession passed in silence.
