12:06 Techrights-sec; Havinga list helps, even if it's on a used scrap of paper.
12:07 schestowitz-TR; i got some more references to use later
12:07 schestowitz-TR; it would help to have more topics to cover in one fell swoop (i have two)

12:09 schestowitz-TR; i don't want to give a talk there
12:09 schestowitz-TR; it would have to be self-censored heavily
12:09 schestowitz-TR; and I'd rather use my own platform
12:10 Techrights-sec; Today is the 39th anniversary of the launch of GNU. I would say an important
12:10 Techrights-sec; topic would be to get institutions onboard for a proper recognition of the
12:10 Techrights-sec; 40th anniversary next year.
12:10 Techrights-sec; ^ topic
12:10 Techrights-sec; Right but you probably correspond with people who would / could do so.
12:10 Techrights-sec; yes, however others you correspond with might be appropriate
12:12 schestowitz-TR; hypothetical scenrio
12:12 schestowitz-TR; they don't pre-apporove slides
12:12 schestowitz-TR; or I go "off" the slides
12:12 schestowitz-TR; then talk about IBM
12:12 schestowitz-TR; LF
12:12 schestowitz-TR; OIN
12:12 schestowitz-TR; and FSF money beancounters
12:12 schestowitz-TR; get a littlew sweaty
12:12 schestowitz-TR; knowing who might be watching
12:12 schestowitz-TR; actually boston in nov.
12:12 schestowitz-TR; maybe not sweaty
12:12 Techrights-sec; What about zoobab or someone, that's what I was asking about.
12:13 schestowitz-TR; i think he is very busy with upc complaint/lawsuit/similar
12:13 schestowitz-TR; but I might be wrong
12:13 Techrights-sec; Yes the LibrePlanet 2023 could be a plaform to inform the public about it and
12:13 Techrights-sec; to hone arguments.
12:15 Techrights-sec; Can you ask him?
12:15 schestowitz-TR; I don't think I ever saw a libreplanet talk (seen a lot) that focuses on corruption
12:15 schestowitz-TR; next time i open thunderbird (this coming night)
12:18 schestowitz-TR; i've just had a peek at the irc channel
12:18 schestowitz-TR; which I mostly ignore for now, lost hours on it and it'\s only 12pm
12:18 schestowitz-TR; the topic is controlled by trolls
12:18 schestowitz-TR; re fsf,
12:18 schestowitz-TR; where has ciaran gone?
12:18 schestowitz-TR; he used to run swpats.org
12:18 schestowitz-TR; and then sort of vanished
12:18 schestowitz-TR; ii researched this 2-3 years ago
12:18 schestowitz-TR; it's not clear why he stopped
12:18 Techrights-sec; Which network + channel?
12:18 schestowitz-TR; i'm sure fsf can send some lawyers to talk about swpats
12:18 schestowitz-TR; like it did the last time
12:18 schestowitz-TR; and the talk would be shallow
12:18 schestowitz-TR; not revolutionary
12:18 schestowitz-TR; "leave it to the profe$$ial$"
12:19 schestowitz-TR; the one in gemini scrollback
12:19 schestowitz-TR; caution: not good use of time
12:19 schestowitz-TR; better to work on links tbh

12:21 schestowitz-TR; yes, I do need more topics and linked to this article
12:21 schestowitz-TR; not sure what else to say, will think it through over coffee
12:21 schestowitz-TR; lol! I made coffee 30 mins ago
12:21 schestowitz-TR; forgot it in the percolator
12:21 schestowitz-TR; brb
12:23 Techrights-sec; thanks

12:24 Techrights-sec; that ties into the counterpunch article too; objectivity is not parroting
12:24 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Why Misinformation Spreads So Quickly On Social Media | FiveThirtyEight
12:24 Techrights-sec; "both sides" but a matter of digging to find what the facts are
12:25 schestowitz-TR; the "look out the window" (re rain) parable
12:25 schestowitz-TR; but again, need to think of an angle that is relevant to current times
12:25 schestowitz-TR; like covid journalism
12:25 schestowitz-TR; though I try not to bring that up in TR
12:25 schestowitz-TR; it's toxic
12:28 Techrights-sec; Depends on the context, I would guess.
12:28 Techrights-sec; If one sticks to FOSS, sw patents, or something else it should be ok.
12:32 schestowitz-TR; btw, for maximal effect epo hard-hitting stuff will be near the time the delegates reconvene
12:32 schestowitz-TR; given the scazrcity of it
12:35 Techrights-sec; Another theme, setting aside who said it or maybe not, is that computers
12:35 Techrights-sec; used to be about doing work for people and under the direction of people rather
12:35 Techrights-sec; than as a means to far people and their attention. Note how far the proprietary
12:35 Techrights-sec; company Apple has diverged from its founder since his death:

12:35 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.goodreads.com | Quote by Steve Jobs: I think one of the things that really separates...
12:35 Techrights-sec; I misread "scazrcity" as "Sarkzy"; Isn't his corruption tied somehow to the
12:35 Techrights-sec; ongoing corruption at the European Patent Office?
12:35 Techrights-sec; Yes and it can be time to revisit it at least briefly, minus the cartoons.
12:35 schestowitz-TR; sarko is the boss and handler of battostelli
12:35 schestowitz-TR; we did loads of cartoons and articles to that effect when B.B. was in charge
12:35 schestowitz-TR; not we have Breton
12:40 schestowitz-TR; new mental policy: make notes of potential topics
12:40 schestowitz-TR; then pause for opportunity to merge them in with something current
12:40 schestowitz-TR; mashup
12:40 schestowitz-TR; re jobs and jounralis and social control media, it'll be on the ice till I find a relevant (to TR) angle
12:40 schestowitz-TR; the FUD against FOSS is only indirectly conected to that, so not same post/video
12:45 Techrights-sec; Yes and it can be time to revisit it at least briefly, minus the cartoons.
12:45 Techrights-sec; Most softare, especially "apps", are about farming behaviors these days.
12:47 schestowitz-TR; also: better to write nothing that something regrettable
12:47 schestowitz-TR; and don't wrsetle with pigs
12:47 schestowitz-TR; time lost this morning on that
12:47 schestowitz-TR; took a break from irc, maybe for the rest of the day tbh
12:47 schestowitz-TR; spent more than enough time
12:47 schestowitz-TR; left coffee cold
12:47 schestowitz-TR; did not leave as intended, when intended
12:47 schestowitz-TR; to avery accusations of "running away"
12:47 schestowitz-TR; so coffee left aside... for an hour
12:47 schestowitz-TR; and it's falling below 10 degrees already, so I could use th warmth
12:47 schestowitz-TR; where did I get the video/linka bout Jobs regarding Internet?
12:47 schestowitz-TR; explaining that it's not about just using one's PC for computation?
12:47 schestowitz-TR; can't recall where IU got it
12:47 schestowitz-TR; but what he said was actually insightful
12:47 schestowitz-TR; for that time
12:54 Techrights-sec; Not sure. What phrases can you recall from that video?
12:54 schestowitz-TR; mystery where I got it from,checking browser history...
12:55 Techrights-sec; What phrases can you recall from that video?
12:59 schestowitz-TR; their machines are expensive, but high-end
12:59 schestowitz-TR; more recent parents
12:59 schestowitz-TR; I just go for budget/second hand
12:59 schestowitz-TR; the n make up in quantities
12:59 schestowitz-TR; my friend wanted to take photos of my desk to show people
12:59 schestowitz-TR; forgoet about the jobs video; i spent too miuch time already trying to (re)locate it
12:59 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I will wrap up rss now
12:59 schestowitz-TR; and ignore irc
12:59 schestowitz-TR; /s/parents/patents/
13:00 Techrights-sec; The Jobs video can be found if you can recall a phrase or two spoken in it.
13:01 schestowitz-TR; i don't remember and would not want to liu... wait... I actually did link to it in irc
13:01 schestowitz-TR; last night or today past midnight
13:02 Techrights-sec; ack
13:05 schestowitz-TR; failing to find it
13:05 schestowitz-TR; it said something to the effect of goodquotes you cited (i did not open yet)
13:05 schestowitz-TR; but then again apple was never abolut getting shit done, either
13:05 schestowitz-TR; it was about getting all your money
13:05 schestowitz-TR; with pcs that cost like 10k by today's money
13:05 schestowitz-TR; and that's what I knew them for..
13:05 schestowitz-TR; snobs with money
13:05 schestowitz-TR; (people who owned them in 80s/90s)
13:07 Techrights-sec; ack
13:07 Techrights-sec; It was about fleecing people but for a few years they were following
13:07 Techrights-sec; Jobs' insistance about efficiency and usability. There are many faults
13:07 Techrights-sec; with Apple and old OS X, but for a while they did keep an emphasis on usability
13:07 Techrights-sec; Now its about "ecosystem" lock-in for formats, protocols, and even data.
13:07 Techrights-sec; Worse, the UI has become about 'engagement' which is worrying because for
13:07 Techrights-sec; a normal, standalone computer there is no upside to an 'engagement' approach
13:07 Techrights-sec; at the expense of usability. So it is most likely that they are increasing
13:07 Techrights-sec; their scanning, listening, watching, and other surveillance.
13:07 schestowitz-TR; plus scanning your file because you are presumed a "crim"
13:07 schestowitz-TR; "bartender, I will have my tv program... with booze on the side... keep bringing me more booze"
13:11 schestowitz-TR; ---
13:11 schestowitz-TR; i went out of my way to write hacks in rthe shell to filter out IRC BS and show it on another monitor
13:11 schestowitz-TR; to LOWER engagement
13:11 schestowitz-TR; and let me turn notifications off
13:11 schestowitz-TR; in past 5 years the social control media shits made the notifications parts harder to hide
13:11 schestowitz-TR; I had to write kwin rules to slide parts of the fluid windows out of view in x org
13:11 schestowitz-TR; so that I don't see all the crap thrown at me
13:11 schestowitz-TR; while I try to focus on just one task
13:12 schestowitz-TR; or chgeck replies just once a week or less, in bulk
13:12 schestowitz-TR; thunderbird I clean fully at most once a month
13:12 schestowitz-TR; too much spam and cruft
13:12 schestowitz-TR; email became very unimportant to me, tbh
13:12 schestowitz-TR; even rianne and I barely exchange email anymore, we use text files on the pi as a file server
13:12 schestowitz-TR; with kio and kate
13:12 schestowitz-TR; the landline doubled down as an intercom
13:12 schestowitz-TR; but one of the two cordless sets stopped working months ago
13:16 Techrights-sec;
13:16 Techrights-sec; Efficiency and focus is the opposite of 'engagement'
13:16 Techrights-sec; 25 years ago, the world's universities has a global file sharing network
13:16 Techrights-sec; on UNIX (GNU/Linux and others), MacOS, and Windows (pre-XP). It was folder
13:16 Techrights-sec; level access control and you could share with groups or individuals, easily,
13:16 Techrights-sec; via a folder / directory on the desktop system or even on servers. The
13:16 Techrights-sec; people sharing the folders only needed to be part of AFS and could be located
13:16 Techrights-sec; anywhere in the world. I guess Ceph might be the descendant but no university
13:16 Techrights-sec; that I have heard of still has any meaningful IT department, if they even
13:17 Techrights-sec; have one at all. Most don't. The result is that one has to jump through
13:17 Techrights-sec; a million hoops to share a simple file and the process is buried in
13:17 Techrights-sec; dangers, inefficiencies, and incompatibilities.
