07:15 techrights-sec[2]; Google's spam filter is blocking spam. That is a red herring.
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; The more serious problem is that Google's spam filter is blocking nearly
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; all independently operated mail servers. Who is to say whether more R mail
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; servers are outside of GAFAM or if more D mail servers are outsourced to GAFAM?
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; It does not matter, that is the distraction and turns a political problem into
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; a partisan issue. The political problem is that Google appears to be aiming
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; to gain control of e-mail and force everyone who wishes to use e-mail to
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; use GMail but only over Google's webmail interface. Notice that most regular
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; mail clients are blocked and only in a few situations are complicated OAUTH
07:15 techrights-sec[2]; clients allowed, but with no indication for how much longer they will be allowed
07:16 techrights-sec[2]; Also look at their non-standard IMAPS implementation which has been impairing
07:16 techrights-sec[2]; mail clients since many years ago.

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; haha, seeing the link about youtube revenue declining
08:59 schestowitz-TR2; in spite or because of them bombarding the platfoprm with it?
08:59 schestowitz-TR2; They probably overdid it and scared away "users"
08:59 techrights-sec[2]; Youtube has overdone several abusive behaviors, and thus driven away droves
08:59 techrights-sec[2]; of useds.
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; good, even great, news
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; that's what I want to see
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; even with tons in subsidies and corrupted media on their side I hope they will perish and something
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; decent can fill the gap
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; (ot: yesterday on 3 occassions I searched for videos on "rms" or "stallman" for the day;
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; did not find anything from india but some 10-20 secs videos of some girl kept showing up,
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; apparently some tiktok stuff she also uploads to youtube; I did not click and one video
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; said something like "getting hot in here"; I assume some 'sexualised' something... a lot of
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; teens on tiktok harm themselves for whatever this chinese company rewards for)
09:03 schestowitz-TR2; youtube is a dump of junk
09:03 techrights-sec[2]; Searching Youtube for "RMS" brings up pages and pages of junk but nothing
09:03 techrights-sec[2]; related to RMS or to Software Freedom. Youtube is proprietary anyway
09:05 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes you can still find some new rms talks this way
09:05 schestowitz-TR2; I will try again later
09:05 schestowitz-TR2; I used indivious, not youtube
09:05 schestowitz-TR2; I can't stand youtube because it's slow and full of ads
09:05 techrights-sec[2]; Nothing in Odysee either
09:05 techrights-sec[2]; I thought he admonished hosts not to upload to youtube but to self host
09:05 techrights-sec[2]; The UI for Youtube is crap
09:05 schestowitz-TR2; maybe crap for YOU
09:05 schestowitz-TR2; YOU are NOT a CUSTOMER

09:34 schestowitz-TR2; biab gym
09:44 schestowitz-TR2; re operational costs at youtube, that is aside from paying creators
09:44 schestowitz-TR2; if youtube on its own profitable at all?
09:44 schestowitz-TR2; the can hide that
10:03 *starstreak has quit (Quit: Leaving)
10:27 techrights-sec[2]; As mentioned, the costs for storage at youtube only go up and the number
10:27 techrights-sec[2]; of advertisers or other forms of income cannot grow adequately to cover
10:27 techrights-sec[2]; all that, I would guess
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; ack
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; that was "gym thought"
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; remember gitlab wanted to toss out "old" repos
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; and vimeo wanted to start charging
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; they know where the cost overhead is
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; gitlab even specified a number, 11 million dollars iirc
10:31 schestowitz-TR2; just for the "old" stuff
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; yes the cost structure or whatever it is called would be similar for
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; other storage-oriented sites. A problem there with GitLab is how they
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; can determine what is old or abandoned. Just because a code base is not
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; being changed does not mean it is not in use. It can quite simply have reached
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; a comfortable level as far as maturity goes.
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; So old, established projects would be very quiet regardless of how active
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; the community around the software actually is. There was one really prominent
10:37 techrights-sec[2]; and recognizable example there with GitLab but the name eludes me at the moment.
10:38 schestowitz-TR2; gitlab is not making money
10:38 schestowitz-TR2; it rides vc cash
10:38 schestowitz-TR2; that was BEFORE pandemic
10:39 schestowitz-TR2; must be worse now
10:39 schestowitz-TR2; same for github
10:39 schestowitz-TR2; azure has several waves of layoffs
10:39 schestowitz-TR2; but the sastroturfers in thelayoffs.com go rah rah over "clown"

10:39 schestowitz-TR2; andrew lee called himself "king of debt"
10:39 schestowitz-TR2; then again, also went by "clwon prince"
10:40 techrights-sec[2]; Debt, if one moves fast enough and never stops moving, is the new currency.
10:43 schestowitz-TR2; i have reasons to doubt the reason you heard; might be an exaggeration
10:43 schestowitz-TR2; well, then, good lukc to kings of debt

10:46 schestowitz-TR2; youtube used to be more "you"

11:13 schestowitz-TR2; just to dip a finger in that pie
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; as a gateway to students/academia
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; but all those years later I don't see much r in shithub, azure, microsoft
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; they're irrelevant
11:14 techrights-sec[2]; It's not new but it is ongoing
11:14 techrights-sec[2]; The LF /is/ helping m$ carry out those attacks and is sponsoring events
11:14 techrights-sec[2]; I think most of the R community is aware of m$ though there is a push to
11:14 techrights-sec[2]; undermine development there as well by pushing a Windoze agenda sometimes
11:18 schestowitz-TR2; LF has become a rogue actor all around

11:22 schestowitz-TR2; CorporateLinux won't be popular, but the remaining "media" will be bought off by it

11:22 schestowitz-TR2; I'll call out the sellouts more from now on
11:25 techrights-sec[2]; Yes, there are still visitors to Phoronix, but he will eventually tire them
11:25 techrights-sec[2]; out and those that are still coming back won't bother. I expect that the
11:25 techrights-sec[2]; number of commenters has already diminished greatly there since he sold out.
11:25 techrights-sec[2]; It's got to be hurting him in his conscience but whether it is enough to
11:25 techrights-sec[2]; make him repent is another matter. It would be very nice to see him try to make
11:25 techrights-sec[2]; good on this and go back to the old, quality work he used to do.
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; no, improbable
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; it's a point of no return
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; he noticed that when he covered msft shite like mono and windows he got more traffic
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; never stopped to think why perhaps
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; writing on these issues is ok, as long as you probably explain them, rather than reprodoce the lies

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; tryint to be "objective" while giving a platform to liars

12:06 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-iTWire - Microsoft profits fall 14% in 1Q 2023, Windows OEM sales most affected
12:19 techrights-sec[2]; They've been doing Enron style accounting for a long time. Recall that using
12:19 techrights-sec[2]; the traditional accounting they ran a huge loss. Right now they are probably
12:19 techrights-sec[2]; only still in business due to ongoing bailouts, buying and selling their own
12:19 techrights-sec[2]; stock, and cooking the books.

12:26 schestowitz-TR2; rianne sold an item this morning and will deliver later
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; the moden profit helps cover discount foods' cost
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; maybe I can ask ('instruct') her to add wine to the basket
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; seeing how our "enemies" crumble
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; (but I'm not the kind of person who 'wastes' time celebrating)
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; I'm off work till Sat
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; rianne will be in yorkshire for 2.5 days
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; today the CEO covers my shift (he does not even know how to)
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; because I asked for holiday and we are understaffed
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; one thing that can help is, check news about Micrtosoft finances
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; esp. the non-fluff, i.e. what they try to hide from headlines
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; like the big minuses
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; after Daily Links we can use those to make articles
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; it used to take a LOT of time to pick out the actual info out of their reports
12:26 schestowitz-TR2; "drpizza" was used a lot for official lying about their results back then

14:19 schestowitz-TR2; can you read the post published 2 mins ago for andy?
14:26 techrights-sec[2]; checking
14:26 techrights-sec[2]; will look in detail in a bit, just skimmed it now; wikipedia is not such
14:26 techrights-sec[2]; a reliable reference especially if one does not link to the specific
14:26 techrights-sec[2]; day-version. Otherwise the page's contents can be radically changed over time
14:26 techrights-sec[2]; and a few years later not represent a single thing the citation was meant to
14:26 techrights-sec[2]; bolster.
14:42 schestowitz; the cancer has spread (results just in), chemo and radio will be needed :/
14:42 schestowitz; still no talk uploads of rms: https://yewtu.be/search?q=stallman&page=1&date=today&type=all&duration=none&sort=relevance

14:44 techrights-sec[2]; condolences
14:44 techrights-sec[2]; recovery is still possible though
14:45 schestowitz-TR2; trying not to think about it too much
14:45 schestowitz-TR2; in the link above you can see the tiktok crap
14:45 techrights-sec[2]; I'll skip bytdance
14:46 schestowitz-TR2; google needs to provide backup storage for that crap
14:46 schestowitz-TR2; i hope it costs them enough to wound the users some more
14:46 schestowitz-TR2; like, after 100 uploads you must pay or lose the older videos

15:03 techrights-sec[2]; I've read the post by Andy in detail now and made some annotation but are the
15:03 techrights-sec[2]; annotations of interest and if so how to communicate them?
15:03 techrights-sec[2]; It was a good read and well worth the time.
15:04 schestowitz-TR2; you can email him directly, I think
15:04 schestowitz-TR2; he would appreciate positive responses
15:04 schestowitz-TR2; I'm still thinking how to best handle the EPO/UPC issues
15:04 schestowitz-TR2; either way, an archive of old articles is in its own right valuable against the lies
15:31 techrights-sec[2]; ack
16:10 techrights-sec[2]; The EPO / UPC issues can be best handled by contacting some of the committe
16:10 techrights-sec[2]; members there in Germany.
