04:06 schestowitz-TR2; of course the system and social controlmedia have nothing to do with it....
04:44 techrightssec; Many journalists are probably addicted, both personally and professionally, to
04:44 techrightssec; abusing social control media. Therefore they are most unlikely to speak against
04:44 techrightssec; it no matter how much trouble it causes in society.

05:15 techrights[sec];
05:15 techrights[sec]; Processong feeds goes more quickly now, with a lot less clicking and tabbing
05:15 techrights[sec]; The time taken is less as is the cognitive effort.
05:17 schestowitz-pi; i spent 10 minuets trying to find my passwords for tuxmachines and schestowitz at twitter
05:17 schestowitz-pi; to check if there are any "messages"
05:17 schestowitz-pi; my move to another system and "fresh" browsers mean I need those
05:17 schestowitz-pi; but after 10 minutes I realsied this wasn't a problem
05:17 schestowitz-pi; the problem was that I was trying to log in
05:17 schestowitz-pi; there's no need to
05:17 schestowitz-pi; very very low s/n ratio
05:17 schestowitz-pi; and that platform will go away anyway
05:17 schestowitz-pi; so I won't be logging in anymore
05:17 schestowitz-pi; end of story
05:21 techrights[sec]; No great loss.
05:25 schestowitz-pi; quite likely a gain because it helps resist the temptation to even go to that site, ever
05:25 schestowitz-pi; sometimes you'd need to spend 5 minutes just to find a one-line that mentions or speaks to
05:25 schestowitz-pi; you
05:25 schestowitz-pi; a decade ago... that's another story
05:25 schestowitz-pi; my password management isn't great, I rarely lose passwords, and anyway I could reset passwords
05:25 schestowitz-pi; if I really need to. but the point is, i quickly realise I was making a mistake by, after
05:25 schestowitz-pi; 2-3 weeks of not being logged on there, trying to get back in
05:25 schestowitz-pi; there's no need
05:25 schestowitz-pi; i also don't know if the twitter API cutoff will impact the bridge that taxmachines uses to
05:25 schestowitz-pi; relay from diaspora to mastodon and then to twitter
05:25 schestowitz-pi; twitter is "on life support"
05:25 techrights[sec]; ood returns.
05:25 techrights[sec]; It's in the same category of importance as having good backups.
05:29 techrights[sec]; 20+Password management is important. Improving that will provide good returns.
05:29 techrights[sec]; It's in the same category of importance as having good backups.
05:29 schestowitz-pi; 20+ years ago I built up passwords collection, password-protected, on a Palm PDA
05:29 schestowitz-pi; now that gnu/linux distros don't bother compling desktop-side software for "pilot" ot
05:29 schestowitz-pi; similar I rely more on direct access to data files
05:29 schestowitz-pi; the "online" hype led people to having lots and lots of "accounts"
05:29 schestowitz-pi; one for each "thing"
05:29 schestowitz-pi; I don't think it was this bad decades ago
05:29 schestowitz-pi; as people authenticated some other way
05:29 schestowitz-pi; and in some cases no "account" was needed
05:29 schestowitz-pi; like buying something at a physical shop
05:29 schestowitz-pi; it's infeasible to keep track of so many passwords and recovery over email opens
05:29 schestowitz-pi; a jab of insecurity worms
05:29 schestowitz-pi; and also a "support" burden
05:36 schestowitz-pi; the general, generalised lesson here is,
05:36 schestowitz-pi; need to reduce complexity, give up on things that may be or feel like they are not needed
05:36 schestowitz-pi; if they feel this way, they most likely are (force of habit dynamics)
05:36 schestowitz-pi; there are more things I can "cut" on... and let the mind focus better
05:36 schestowitz-pi; waking up midnight and NOT having to "clean quiterss" is a great mental improvement
05:36 schestowitz-pi; the application was in control of me, not the other way around
05:36 schestowitz-pi; and this was not rational as I was not tracking every relevant feed on the www anyway
05:36 schestowitz-pi; you can never track everything, only a subset
05:36 schestowitz-pi; "inbox zero" mindset probably has some good psychological explanation to it
05:36 schestowitz-pi; same reason people can become obsessed with cleanliness (personal, home, and more)
05:36 schestowitz-pi; there's something inherent in the brain, which is better off suppressed/resisted
05:36 schestowitz-pi; as it does not gravittate towards good productivty, rather than illusionary goals
05:47 schestowitz-TR2; MIT running pure spam for India companies, Microsoft proxies https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/14/1068365/low-code-and-no-code-a-marked-movement-for-digital-platform-development/ not enough bribes from Bill Gates via his BFF Jeffrey Epstein?

06:09 techrightssec; has not updated since yesterday
06:09 techrightssec; checking
06:09 techrightssec; the connectivity is sloooow
06:12 schestowitz-pi; it is doing the nightly backup so i/o is high
06:12 schestowitz-pi; regarding it not running since yesterday, thanks for spotting that
06:12 schestowitz-pi; connection dropped and I did not notice
06:12 schestowitz-pi; it will catch up soon
06:12 techrights[sec]; ok
06:15 schestowitz-pi; i would need to clone the whole system before system update
06:15 schestowitz-pi; considering what happened before
06:15 schestowitz-pi; it broke like 3 fairly important things
06:15 schestowitz-pi; not sure whose fault that was at the time
06:15 schestowitz-pi; ok, i think scrollback should be ok again
06:15 schestowitz-pi; going to look into infosys corrupting mir

07:42 schestowitz-pi; some good news today
07:42 schestowitz-pi; again
07:42 schestowitz-pi; about microsoft
07:42 schestowitz-pi; posted in short at TR
07:42 schestowitz-pi; might write more with a video later today
07:42 schestowitz-pi; workout in a few minutes, rianne sold in ebay
07:42 schestowitz-pi; gonna need a haircut this week for march 1st (ceremony)
07:43 techrights[sec]; Excellent. The layoffs are worth covering since so few other sites even
07:43 techrights[sec]; mention them.
07:51 schestowitz-pi; the way i see it:
07:51 schestowitz-pi; microsoft pays
07:51 schestowitz-pi; for the layoffs NOT to be mentioned
07:51 schestowitz-pi; or BARELY be mentions
07:51 schestowitz-pi; *ed
07:51 schestowitz-pi; or spun as a positive
07:51 schestowitz-pi; as the bribes are cheaper than the financial impact of investors and customers
07:51 schestowitz-pi; walkking away
07:51 schestowitz-pi; but that comes to show the insidious role som press can play
07:51 schestowitz-pi; in effect gaming the market iunstead of informing people
07:51 schestowitz-pi; engadget is one of several examples
08:12 schestowitz-TR2; Time of lockdowns: "3,828 suicides [...] equivalent to an age-standardised mortality rate of 9.8 deaths per 100,000 people; this is statistically significantly lower than the same period in 2019 and 2018, but statistically similar to 2017." https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/deathsfromsuicidethatoccurredinenglandandwales/apriltodecember2020

08:12 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.ons.gov.uk | Deaths from suicide that occurred in England and Wales - Office for National Statistics
08:12 schestowitz-TR2; About 120,000 more Brits are dying per year... MOAR than before the pandemic. These "suicides" CANNOT explain that high an increase. "Suicides in England and Wales. 5,583 suicides were registered in 2021 in England and Wales, 6.9% higher than in 2020 (5,224 deaths), and equivalent to an age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) of 10.7 deaths per 100,000 people."

12:55 schestowitz-pi; i am still learning how to best 'conjoin' them
12:55 schestowitz-pi; a browser is not a text editor, so it would have to be two processes
