08:59 schestowitz; <blockquote>
08:59 schestowitz; <p>Two bills attempting to reduce the power of Internet monopolies are currently being debated in Congress: S. 2992, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act; and S. 2710, the Open App Markets Act. Reducing the power to tech monopolies would do more to fix the Internet than any other single action, and I am generally in favor of them both. (The Center for American Progress wrote a good
08:59 schestowitz; summary and evaluation of them. I have written in support of the bill that would force Google and Apple to give up their monopolies on their phone app stores.)</p>
08:59 schestowitz; <p>There is a significant problem, though. Both bills have provisions that could be used to break end-to-end encryption.</p>

15:16 schestowitz; some suicides aren't what they seem and some murders aren't what they seem. But when all you have is a missing or dead body it's a coin toss and pseudoscience.

22:56 schestowitz; DG1: close target monitoring
22:56 schestowitz; A supporting or an oppressive exercise?
22:56 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,
22:56 schestowitz; We have been contacted by a number of colleagues reporting an increase in the degree of micromanagement they are facing in recent months. These micromanaging measures include, inter alia, a weekly monitoring of their targets, daily calls from their team manager, and excessive scrutiny of search strategies, communications or FO mailboxes. Although the purported intention of the intervention of the managers is to support the staff members, it is often
22:57 schestowitz; experienced as oppressive and leaves colleagues feeling overwhelmed. Being in such a situation may seriously affect their health, and result in them needing to take sick leave.
22:57 schestowitz; This publication provides recommendations on how to react to the pressurising practices.

23:03 schestowitz; [CSC] GCC meeting of 2 June 2022: The Mobility Package reloaded
23:03 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,
23:03 schestowitz; In a previous GCC meeting, the CSC members of the GCC gave a negative opinion on the new package on mobility corresponding to document CA/32/22. In the GCC meeting on 2 June, the President submitted document GCC/DOC 9/2022 aiming at the implementation of the mobility package. In particular, the CSC members of the GCC had to give their opinion on:
23:03 schestowitz; A new Circular on Young Professionals;
23:03 schestowitz; A new Circular on (outbound) secondment and on leave on personal grounds (aka unpaid leave);
23:03 schestowitz; Changes to Circular No. 364 lowering qualifications for external recruitment.
23:04 schestowitz; The circulars give us the occasion to revisit the buzzwords used by the Administration to make the package palatable to the Administrative Council (and maybe to some staff). They confirm that buzzwords are just that: empty words, and that we were right in our strong reservations against the package presented in CA/32/22 as it calls centralisation into question and establishes a separate set of Service Regulations for a category of low-cost staff
23:04 schestowitz; with fewer rights.
23:04 schestowitz; You can read the full opinion here.
