05:05 Techrightssec; Is m$ hiding more layoffs though the noise about Activision?
05:05 schestowitz-TR; context? did something just "happen"?
05:05 schestowitz-TR; or, in this context, do you mean the months-old announcement?
05:05 schestowitz-TR; i was told no job openings there and they cut down the money spent on existing staff
05:05 schestowitz-TR; the layoff.com seems to be astroturfed a bit with "good news" about microsoft
05:05 schestowitz-TR; after people moaning about getting laid off
05:05 schestowitz-TR; the media did not count the contractors
05:08 Techrightssec; Yes, it's ongoing for the last few months.
05:08 Techrightssec; https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559103-activision-blizzard-may-be-a-buy-with-or-without-microsoft-deal
05:08 Techrightssec; I wonder also if m$ is still losing money on each "Xbox", their DRM testbed.
05:08 Techrightssec; The articles talk about revenue but not profit.
05:08 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-seekingalpha.com | Activision Blizzard May Be A Buy, With Or Without Microsoft Deal (NASDAQ:ATVI) | Seeking Alpha
05:09 schestowitz-TR; seekingalpha is 101% microsoft propaganda
05:09 schestowitz-TR; since around 2005 when I started noticing
05:09 schestowitz-TR; but aside from that, microsoft is like twitter
05:09 schestowitz-TR; it pretends to be big
05:09 Techrightssec; Yes, their most positive
05:09 Techrightssec; propaganda site is not providing any substance so I suspect there is none:
05:09 Techrightssec; no profit
05:17 Techrightssec; Yes and it keeps re-earning its exceedingly negative reputation for
05:17 Techrightssec; both the shoddy quality of its tech, the bad design of its tech,
05:17 Techrightssec; and the illegal and unethical behavior in the market.
05:17 Techrightssec; There are other articles trying to blame the so-called obstacles on
05:17 Techrightssec; "negativity" rather than m$ historical and ongoing actions.
05:23 schestowitz-TR; quiterss seems to have become very io-intensive lately
05:23 schestowitz-TR; causing seconds-long lockups or freezes
05:23 schestowitz-TR; esp. when it openes or closes
05:23 schestowitz-TR; but I am not sure of the storage is the culprit
05:23 schestowitz-TR; or somethign else
05:23 schestowitz-TR; I've deleted about 180k fed items
05:23 schestowitz-TR; RAM usage remains very high, over 2 GB when open, sometimes a lot more
05:23 schestowitz-TR; but.. a lot of this started around the time I ran mumble-server on this machine
05:23 schestowitz-TR; so I wonder if that too can be the culprit
05:23 schestowitz-TR; system update has changed nothijgn since done half an hour sago
05:23 Techrightssec; :/
05:23 Techrightssec; One problem is that it has not been maintained. Another is that it does not
05:23 Techrightssec; handle such large data sets.
05:27 Techrightssec;
05:27 Techrightssec; QuiteRSS has a lot of problems. I've been looking for a replacement.
05:27 Techrightssec; If Sony does not renew such an unfavorable game console exclusive contracvt
05:27 Techrightssec; with m$, then that indicates possibly that the Xbox has been a liability for
05:27 Techrightssec; the "Call of Duty" series.
05:28 Techrightssec; QuiteRSS is written in C++
05:44 schestowitz-TR; curiously enough the storage device has given no errors in life a fortnight
05:44 schestowitz-TR; after all those system crashes
05:44 schestowitz-TR; but I'm sure it'll be back with a bang one day
05:44 schestowitz-TR; otr - 5 days of silence from $employer; they are probably a little nervous
05:44 schestowitz-TR; ort - the irrational behaviour is what happened weeks ago
05:46 Techrightssec; QuiteRSS is written in C++
05:46 Techrightssec; It usually locks up during anythiing other than a very short session.
05:46 Techrightssec; Some day, if there are developers for it.

10:33 schestowitz-TR; LinuxHint is dying; a ton of MICROSOFT SQL SERVER (proprietary) pieces today. Yes, spyware, which does not even properly run on LINUX (in the site's name!). And when they cover "Git" it's Windows (Microsoft, proprietary) and GitHub (Microsoft, proprietary). "LINUX" hint... hint hint... it's NOT about Linux anymore.
10:34 Techrightssec; Proprietar M$ SQL Server does not even run natively in GNU/Linux but instead
10:34 Techrightssec; inside the Drawbridge emulator
10:35 schestowitz-TR; yes, but notice the bit about promoting github instead of git and on Windows, not Linux

10:56 Techrightssec; So, 5% relevance and significantly lower quality.
10:57 schestowitz-TR; worse:
10:57 schestowitz-TR; about 70% anti-linux agenda

11:00 schestowitz-TR; they take a site that has followers and 'googlejuice'
11:00 schestowitz-TR; then try top monetise it
11:00 schestowitz-TR; previously linux was put in the hands of affilate ad spammers
11:00 schestowitz-TR; in sites like fossmint they let anusha saive and what I ssuypect to be the spouse ravi
11:00 schestowitz-TR; they posted a ton of anti-foss
11:00 schestowitz-TR; then the site pretty much collapsed and its original authors are almost never to be seen again
11:00 schestowitz-TR; the 'monetisers' killed it
11:01 Techrightssec; Yep. The quote about killing Mac conferences is relevant yet again here.
11:02 schestowitz-TR; go to some site called fossforce ;-)

11:18 schestowitz-TR; now it's in #3
11:18 schestowitz-TR; #1 and #2 = gulf states, huge spendings
11:18 schestowitz-TR; that gives ample political leverage

11:22 Techrightssec; dance! dance for the oilman, chase the ball for him!

11:41 Techrightssec; As the class difference increase from the ongoing class war, more effort is
11:41 Techrightssec; put into the media (and especially into social control media) to ensure
11:41 Techrightssec; that the focus is turned instead to "racism" and to cultivate racism in society.
11:41 Techrightssec; Divide-and-Conquer
11:41 Techrightssec; That's also what a lot of the sports mentality is about and why so many billions

15:09 Techrightssec; There seems to be yet another coordinated push to spam the world's sites with
15:09 Techrightssec; WSL and Azure crap this week. FSF ought to have a Thanksgiving campaign in the
15:09 Techrightssec; US this week, same for EFF, but that will not happen given the timid nature of
15:09 Techrightssec; the FSF and the semi-corrupt nature of the EFF nowadays.
15:11 schestowitz-TR; yes, wsl mostly
15:11 schestowitz-TR; first it was "1.0"

15:11 schestowitz-TR; "general availability"
15:11 schestowitz-TR; among others
15:11 schestowitz-TR; spam as news
15:11 schestowitz-TR; another example noted in IRC moments ago
15:11 schestowitz-TR; sickening state of the www
15:12 schestowitz-TR; one headline that I saw an hour ago stated that WSL is not in the Microsoft Store... LIKE IT WAS NOT BEFORE!!!!!!

18:22 schestowitz; Interview request
18:22 schestowitz; Hi Roy,
18:22 schestowitz; I work on a story about the UPC and the technical judges it plans to use.
18:22 schestowitz; In your articles you mention talking to politicians about it. Do you have a suggestion who would be outspoken about it. If there is someone from Germany, that would be great.
18:22 schestowitz; Also, you mention a lobby behind the UPC. Could you be more specific?
18:22 schestowitz; Thanks so much,
18:22 schestowitz; ---------
