07:58 Techrights-sec; Heard a rumor that all the web shops with an EU presence must meet some
07:58 Techrights-sec; basic level of accessibiity. However, no source yet and, of course,
07:58 Techrights-sec; the devil is in the details even if they do comply by 2025.
07:58 Techrights-sec; It might be an opportunity to eliminate the dependency on javascript
07:58 Techrights-sec; and move from "web apps" back to actual web pages.

08:02 schestowitz-TR; damn. after 200 or so days my xfce4 lost power overnight
08:02 schestowitz-TR; no I need to restore ther whole session
08:02 schestowitz-TR; sole upside is, I can restore it better than before
08:02 schestowitz-TR; and workflows have changed
08:51 Techrights-sec; LPI and LF ought to make an effort to help Costa Rica out of their Windoze#########
08:51 Techrights-sec; predicament, Conti is only partially to blame, the presence of Windows allows
08:51 Techrights-sec; ransomware to thrive
08:52 schestowitz-TR; I think our session got a little affected by me trying to re-access it from "cavan"

09:34 schestowitz-TR; minor point: christine hall wrote something yesterday
09:34 schestowitz-TR; yes, it's significant
09:34 schestowitz-TR; as the blog was mostly dead lately
09:34 Techrights-sec; I stopped reading her site a while back
09:34 schestowitz-TR; but many of the articles have neen lf and ibm boosting
09:34 schestowitz-TR; it's not "organic"
09:34 schestowitz-TR; it's paid-for agenda
09:35 schestowitz-TR; there mau be a dead of change on the Web
09:35 schestowitz-TR; not what we see right now
09:35 schestowitz-TR; but something more profound
09:35 schestowitz-TR; as webspam is becoming very widespread
09:35 schestowitz-TR; there's no news!
09:35 schestowitz-TR; certainly not in patents
09:35 schestowitz-TR; and "linux" became the same
09:35 schestowitz-TR; social control media at crossroads
09:37 Techrights-sec; social control media is part of that problem since so many take shortcuts
09:37 Techrights-sec; and instead of doing even a minimal amount of investigation, just checking
09:37 Techrights-sec; to see what twitter wants them to see
09:37 schestowitz-TR; comment moderationm became "uneconomic" because people remark in censored, filters social control
09:37 schestowitz-TR; media and not in comment facilities of blogs
09:37 schestowitz-TR; that's like disqus ousourcing but bigger
09:37 schestowitz-TR; and lowers the incentive for news sites to carry on at all
09:37 Techrights-sec; by steering readers over to social control medai they actively reduce the
09:37 Techrights-sec; likelihood that they will return to the site and over time there is enough
09:37 Techrights-sec; attrition for it be a significant drop in numbers :(
09:38 schestowitz-TR; yes, exactly
09:38 schestowitz-TR; many young people never heard of rss
09:38 schestowitz-TR; and they are becoming fluent in algospeak
09:38 schestowitz-TR; and memorising emojis
09:46 Techrights-sec; which just means that first their speech, then their behavior, then their
09:46 Techrights-sec; thoughts become warped to Twitter's (and the others') agenda.
09:46 Techrights-sec; Perhaps more importantly, they are not learning or growing mentally, emotionally
09:46 Techrights-sec; Instead they are addicted to an interface which provides only highly ephemeral
09:46 Techrights-sec; stimulation in exchange for "emitting behaviors" like a handheld skinner box.
09:50 schestowitz-TR; digg was a form of agamification
09:50 schestowitz-TR; I could never understand why one-line comment of "like" or "digg"
09:50 schestowitz-TR; was any more worthy than propert communication
09:50 schestowitz-TR; like irc
09:50 schestowitz-TR; where you can interact in real time
09:50 schestowitz-TR; social control media is having massive delays in communicstion
09:50 schestowitz-TR; and the topics are thus all over the place
09:50 schestowitz-TR; so the debate cannot develop
09:51 Techrights-sec; they can't memorize the emojis since they change meaning over the weeks that
09:51 Techrights-sec; pass.
09:51 Techrights-sec; Like I said, it's highly ephemeral.
09:51 Techrights-sec; Digg censored very heavily.
09:51 Techrights-sec; Any time you bring up Digg, I will recall that it blocked any and all mention
09:51 Techrights-sec; of the OpenDocument Format and related material on Open Standards.
09:55 Techrights-sec; TR published article/s about ODF in Digg
09:55 Techrights-sec; but it was a very long time ago
09:55 schestowitz-TR; TR published article/s about ODF in Digg
09:55 schestowitz-TR; but it was a very long time ago
09:55 Techrights-sec; Yes, I recall that TR tried but they were quickly sidelined there, as was
09:55 Techrights-sec; anything related to ODF.
09:57 schestowitz-TR; back in those days our company run an EVENT for ODF
09:57 schestowitz-TR; now we have some fools who do web-based
09:57 schestowitz-TR; like it's OK
09:57 schestowitz-TR; I was thinking of your standards work yesterday
09:57 schestowitz-TR; but I cannot remember the substance or context
09:57 schestowitz-TR; it could not even been so important, else I'd have brought it up
09:57 schestowitz-TR; but document formats are barely even a topic anymore
10:00 schestowitz-TR; for that matter (continuing my thoughts)
10:00 schestowitz-TR; now we have "apps", not "web"
10:00 schestowitz-TR; and "web" is "webapps"
10:00 schestowitz-TR; even things like twitter devolved in this way
10:00 schestowitz-TR; similarly, rss is not a thing
10:00 schestowitz-TR; ownership is not a thing
10:00 schestowitz-TR; "streaming"
10:00 schestowitz-TR; DRM
10:00 schestowitz-TR; there's a storm brewing
10:00 schestowitz-TR; I want to see what happens when some "tech titans" collapse
10:00 schestowitz-TR; and the aftermath
10:04 schestowitz-TR; sometiems it feels like we just need to be patient and persistg until some storms passes
10:04 schestowitz-TR; many won't make it to the other side
10:04 schestowitz-TR; and this is fine
10:04 schestowitz-TR; but the important thing is to maintain operations and come to the other side
10:04 schestowitz-TR; software freedom is under attack for decades already
10:04 schestowitz-TR; but 39 years later it's still here
10:11 Techrights-sec; yes but unfortunately proprietary software still has a noticeable presence
10:11 Techrights-sec; and above all in schools, that is extremely harmful
10:12 schestowitz-TR; schools get targeted deliberately

10:17 Techrights-sec; yes and it is related to the disinformation campaign in that they use a
10:17 Techrights-sec; similar principle. When people adopt a position on a topic, they very rarely
10:17 Techrights-sec; let facts subsquently interfere with that position. So the proprietary shops
10:17 Techrights-sec; aim to get children exposed to their products before anything else.
10:17 Techrights-sec; Also M$ damages society by being so illogical, complicated, and convolted, so
10:18 Techrights-sec; that any kid that claims to be interested in computers will be driven away
10:18 Techrights-sec; unless they are compliant. Those that make the cut will be useless for real computing on the basis on their inability to work
10:18 Techrights-sec; logically. Thus you end up
10:18 Techrights-sec; with a pool of clowns, exclusively, in regards to what the industry has become.
10:18 Techrights-sec; Same for research since those who would have surpassing skills are culled
10:18 Techrights-sec; early on.
10:18 schestowitz-TR; I think this is the subject of Mark's next book
10:19 Techrights-sec; When is that book due?
10:19 schestowitz-TR; he is probably too busy marking up exams and other nonsese at the 'school'

10:25 schestowitz-TR; (need outlet)
10:25 schestowitz-TR; woke up this morning, one laptop shut down
10:25 schestowitz-TR; I was suspicious of it when I went to bed, double-checked
10:26 schestowitz-TR; it's one of two where the socket is super sensitive
10:26 schestowitz-TR; and I can sometimes catch it when not afk
10:26 schestowitz-TR; after convincing myself "maybe for the better" (mental trick)
10:26 schestowitz-TR; because I reshuffled tasks around (xfce unlike kde does not restore sessiopns afisk)
10:26 schestowitz-TR; the other laptop also shut down, at 9am
10:26 schestowitz-TR; I complained about this one in IRC last night
10:26 schestowitz-TR; they both have a loose connection near the power inlet
10:26 schestowitz-TR; and it's like voodoo magic getting it right
10:26 schestowitz-TR; so now I need to spend my whole morning shuffl things again
10:26 schestowitz-TR; to feel like I gain on productivity
10:26 schestowitz-TR; thankfully the news seemed slow
10:26 schestowitz-TR; based ona rapid alta visdta before rianne has a pass at it
10:26 schestowitz-TR; the setup here is underutilised a
10:26 schestowitz-TR; and Istill don't know what happens ij the company and thus if I can phase out some things
10:26 schestowitz-TR; the lack of certainty is a nuisance
10:26 schestowitz-TR; fore the company, the lack of a future is a years-long issue
10:26 schestowitz-TR; as a non-shareholders I did not care as long as I could "milk"
10:29 schestowitz-TR; sub-rant"
10:29 schestowitz-TR; depending on distro and version, some machines have synergy
10:29 schestowitz-TR; some only have barrier
10:29 schestowitz-TR; so the main laptop connects to two laptops over synergy
10:29 schestowitz-TR; and two over barrier
10:29 schestowitz-TR; even just shoehorning the darn thing into some distros was hard work
10:30 schestowitz-TR; the issue is, the motion of the mouse is counterintuitive
10:30 schestowitz-TR; as you cannot properly assign corners
10:30 schestowitz-TR; you have to memorse that going to the far left means going all the way to the right
10:30 schestowitz-TR; because the layout is set separately for barrier and synergy
10:30 schestowitz-TR; over different port numbers
10:30 schestowitz-TR; and the two bits of software, which are based on similar codebase, do not mix well
10:30 schestowitz-TR; the lack of intuitive mouse motion costs time
10:30 schestowitz-TR; I had it perfect int he old office
10:30 schestowitz-TR; but then I could no longer trust the ssd so addeed a new laptop and another screen
10:30 schestowitz-TR; needed bigger desk
10:30 schestowitz-TR; very sub-optimal atm
10:30 schestowitz-TR; I should take advatage of news slowness and tackle this
10:33 Techrights-sec; ack
10:37 Techrights-sec; sometimes it is necessary to invest in improving the local infrastructure
10:38 schestowitz-TR; a never ending optimisation problem when the hardware keeps changing
10:38 schestowitz-TR; new hardware, new fault, new conditions
10:38 schestowitz-TR; in winter I might go back upstairs
10:38 schestowitz-TR; for heat mostly
10:38 Techrights-sec; yes, frequent tuning is necessary plus the occasional major adjustment

11:30 schestowitz-TR; it's not only a technically bad thing
11:30 schestowitz-TR; it also increases mouse journey and collisions
11:30 schestowitz-TR; but I still improvise with irrational things like "go beyond to" of screen to be to the lft
11:30 schestowitz-TR; *left
11:30 schestowitz-TR; I partly blame synergy
11:30 schestowitz-TR; for trying to go proprietary
11:30 schestowitz-TR; and partly the distros
11:30 schestowitz-TR; as there is still a version of synergy that's free
11:30 schestowitz-TR; but the new distros only include barrier

11:40 Techrights-sec; unfortunately that twitter account is not quite the best to be associated with
11:40 Techrights-sec; Yes, the last copy.
11:40 Techrights-sec; It will be hard becaue the revisionists will still work hard at it because
11:40 Techrights-sec; so many near him have dirty hands too.
11:43 Techrights-sec; If they bury Bill, they'll need to establish a pissoir at the headstone to

11:45 schestowitz-TR; I did now check that Muskster's account
11:45 schestowitz-TR; but in that site many who speak about Bill are bad to associate with
11:45 schestowitz-TR; the other day's bill's guardian posted a provocative headline

19:17 schestowitz-TR; [19:14] When I quit Walmart the second time, they wanted me to sign a document containing a list of their alleged grievances against me.
19:31 schestowitz-TR; good news:
19:31 schestowitz-TR; there's good reason to believe TR is the reason Campinos had the temper tantrum
19:31 schestowitz-TR; I have more on this
