[09:00] Techrights-sec excllent that JD might have a way forward

[09:00] schestowitz-TR only because many of us pushed for it

[09:03] Techrights-sec still it is good news nonetheless

[09:04] schestowitz-TR reacording the video last night was a goodoutlet

[09:04] schestowitz-TR at the same time it helped me know what was going on in the "IP" world

[09:04] schestowitz-TR the upload will finish in a few minutes

[09:04] schestowitz-TR it took 12 hours all in all

[09:04] schestowitz-TR the text will be more important than the video, which like I said was

[09:04] schestowitz-TR a bit of an outlet

[09:04] schestowitz-TR the draft is in place IF you went to have a peek

[09:07] Techrights-sec ack

[09:09] schestowitz-TR imho

[09:09] schestowitz-TR based on my dad

[09:09] schestowitz-TR the lies are not new

[09:09] schestowitz-TR the corrupt media is not news

[09:09] schestowitz-TR it's a form of bsusiness to them

[09:09] schestowitz-TR corrupt alike

[09:09] schestowitz-TR now it is a lot more visible

[09:09] schestowitz-TR having said that, in areas like patents it became really bad

[09:09] schestowitz-TR even if you do not count gulag's contribution to it

[09:09] schestowitz-TR in the video I mention how gnu/linux fud evolved too

[09:09] schestowitz-TR and how blasting people for liars helps discourage them from doing it again

[09:09] schestowitz-TR they need to change their lies

[09:11] Techrights-sec yes, calling them out discourages them but more is needed for the ones that

[09:11] Techrights-sec have no ethics, calling those out does not do enough

[09:11] schestowitz-TR spamnil took the foot off the padeal

[09:11] schestowitz-TR I wanted to tell you yesterday

[09:11] schestowitz-TR but did not want to sound petty

[09:11] schestowitz-TR eventually i mentioned it in irc

[09:11] schestowitz-TR a lot of people vanish freom the scene out of shame

[09:11] Techrights-sec ^pedal

[09:11] Techrights-sec Linux.com and OpenSource.com are intentionally wasting away.

[09:11] Techrights-sec THey push out almost no content, and what content they do push is utter crap

[09:11] Techrights-sec so both factors drive peope away.

[09:17] schestowitz-TR atm, imo, we need to get MORE people involved in responding to the BS

[09:17] schestowitz-TR because if eough people cause their shame

[09:17] schestowitz-TR they either cdhange

[09:17] schestowitz-TR or suit

[09:17] schestowitz-TR both are good outcome

[09:17] schestowitz-TR in the long wer can do ok because we cover things nobody else covers

[09:17] schestowitz-TR and which need to be covered

[09:17] schestowitz-TR 8 years ago i told rms that trolling against him had subsided somewhat

[09:17] schestowitz-TR the technical and legal arguments were strong

[09:17] schestowitz-TR things like don't use github (2015)

[09:17] schestowitz-TR so they move to create some straw man

[09:17] schestowitz-TR spinning a pro-ethics person as objectionable,

[09:18] Techrights-sec yes more people pushing back helps, a difficultly there is that there are no

[09:18] Techrights-sec open forums for discussion. /. was crushed reddet was fucked from day 1, etc.

[09:18] Techrights-sec Yes, shills and astroturfers have been used against RMS and others.

[09:33] Techrights-sec use of strawmen and other forms of distraction is very, very common

[09:35] schestowitz-TR i used to hypothesise how i too can be targeted by this

[09:35] schestowitz-TR yearsd ago i told rianne theyy can make something up about women;s issues

[09:35] schestowitz-TR which did happen years later

[09:35] schestowitz-TR i can think of 3 hypothetical lines of attack

[09:35] Techrights-sec :(

[09:35] Techrights-sec They'll complain about what ever they can get to stick, real or imagined

[19:07] Techrights-sec I added some timeouts and shorted the old ones in gemini-cron-updater.sh and

[19:07] Techrights-sec that seems to have dealt with the lockfile problem finally. It looks like

[19:07] Techrights-sec some of the parts of the script were taking way too long to interact with

[19:07] Techrights-sec TR over HTTP.

[19:07] schestowitz-TR a lot of that boils down to traffic shaping, which prioritises gemini afaik
