11:20 schestowitz-TR; if you check gemini stats, you will see yesterdat the microsoft layoffs post was read a lotg
11:20 schestowitz-TR; *lot
11:20 schestowitz-TR; that would lower morale in the company

11:21 techrightssec2; Checking
11:21 techrightssec2; Wow. That's a high count.
11:22 schestowitz-TR; i checked because I saw high # of video requests this morning
11:22 schestowitz-TR; anyway, everything is fine
11:22 schestowitz-TR; irc a bit noisy today
11:22 schestowitz-TR; noisy, not busy
11:22 techrightssec2; :/
11:28 schestowitz-TR; btw, i have not changed the cron job yey
11:28 schestowitz-TR; you wanted to make an adjustment around xmas
11:28 techrightssec2; ack
11:28 techrightssec2; There is a work-around in place but work-arounds build up as technical debt.
11:29 schestowitz-TR; anyway, we were a thorn on msft's side this week
11:29 schestowitz-TR; that alone is good
11:29 schestowitz-TR; i'll keep an even closer eye
11:29 schestowitz-TR; the "news" will only "pick this up" when there's no choice but to do so
11:30 schestowitz-TR; i'll slow down the series a bit, or split long stuff
11:34 techrightssec2; There has been little coverage of m$ plagiarism of copyrighted code via their
11:34 techrightssec2; "OpenAI" scam Copilot. The DMCA, which they have abused extensively both
11:34 techrightssec2; directly and via their marketing arm the BSA, has provisions for severe
11:34 techrightssec2; penalties for their stripping of both licenses and attribution from the code
11:34 techrightssec2; they are plagiarizing.
11:34 techrightssec2; ^ topic ?
11:36 schestowitz-TR; i still have thousands of lines in notes about copilot and stuff
11:36 schestowitz-TR; aside from "hey hi" hype and view from ebuzz central i think it's not the right time
11:36 schestowitz-TR; right now to continue with that series

11:37 techrightssec2; ok
11:37 techrightssec2; maybe just add to the notes
11:37 schestowitz-TR; i was JUST about to add that to me NOTES, yes!
11:38 techrightssec2; EPO and sw patents are always top priority so maybe there is a sw patent
11:38 techrightssec2; aspect to their misbehavior. The stripping of licenses affects sw patent
11:38 techrightssec2; coverage since some license address sw patents and some don't. Then there
11:38 techrightssec2; is the question of what kind of sw patent scams "OpenAI" itself is trying to
11:38 techrightssec2; pull?
11:39 schestowitz-TR; when I stopped tracking news aboutt epo about 11 months ago the quality of coverage was alreadyveru poor
11:39 schestowitz-TR; so it's hard to cover, there's no input worthwhile anymore
11:39 schestowitz-TR; some of the better patnt blogs became inactive

11:43 techrightssec2; Google is corrupt on that topic. I wonder how much of that is due to a conflict
11:43 techrightssec2; of interest. If the "former" microsofters there in Google's managment are
11:43 techrightssec2; having the rankign algorithms tweaked to promote the fraud sites because
11:43 techrightssec2; they are singing the tune the microsofters wish the public to hear?
11:44 schestowitz-TR; yes, that did cross my mind before
11:51 schestowitz-TR; my latest video probably does a better job explaining
11:51 schestowitz-TR; but then again it's easier to do after writing then before
11:51 schestowitz-TR; either way, there is a pile-up of more scandals
11:51 schestowitz-TR; some blurted out in irc today

12:34 schestowitz-TR; "legalised" vandalism
12:34 schestowitz-TR; (if iut's for rich people, it is legal... like "lobbying")
12:35 techrightssec2; They have prioritized the money to hire marketeers to camp on specifica pages
