[04:03] techrights[sec] The UPC fraud being perpetrated by Germany is an importat topic

[04:03] techrights[sec] ^European Patent Court

[04:03] schestowitz-pi EU patent 'court'

[04:03] schestowitz-pi sorry, typing another post atm

[04:03] schestowitz-pi trying to get missig ref through irc

[04:03] schestowitz-pi removed from my list all the feeds you identified as invalid

[04:03] schestowitz-pi multitasking a lot atm

[04:10] techrights[sec] Edge is a derivative of Chromium

[04:10] techrights[sec] ^m$ edge

[04:10] schestowitz-pi added a screenshot just now

[04:10] schestowitz-pi yes, they managed to make chrome even more malicious

[04:23] techrights[sec] https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-microsoft-edge-chromium-installing-automatically-windows-10

[04:23] techrights[sec] Chrome is derivative of Chromium

[04:23] techrights[sec] also

[04:23] techrights[sec] Opera is also a derivative of Chromium

[04:23] techrights[sec] Brave is a derivative of Chromium, too

[04:23] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.windowscentral.com | How to prevent new Microsoft Edge from installing automatically on Windows 10 | Windows Central

[04:23] techrights[sec] As are Falkon and Vivaldi, apparently.

[04:23] techrights[sec] So it would be less accurate to call M$ Edge a copycat of Chrome and

[04:23] techrights[sec] more accurate to call it what it is a derivative of Chromium

[04:24] schestowitz-pi chrome is chromium WITH ADDTIONAL malware on top

[04:24] schestowitz-pi edge is the same

[04:24] schestowitz-pi and the addtional malware is likely worse

[04:24] schestowitz-pi the objective is the same

[04:24] schestowitz-pi falkon just uses the rendering engine

[04:24] schestowitz-pi afaik, it does not add any crap on top

[04:24] schestowitz-pi it blocks ads by default, too

[04:24] schestowitz-pi they need to remove DDG

[05:51] schestowitz-pi going to clean thw whole tank and change the water

[11:46] schestowitz-pi different topic: while jogging (way to shop) i was thinking youtube might be next

[11:46] schestowitz-pi to make compulsory charges like twitter and FB

[11:46] schestowitz-pi what for? don't know

[11:46] schestowitz-pi but adding lots of ads did not work

[11:46] schestowitz-pi they pissed off everyone and revenue went DOWN, not UP

[11:46] schestowitz-pi some people thought they had "job security" at gulag's youtube

[11:47] schestowitz-pi ailing to grap it changes every yhear and chages a lot every 3 or 5 years

[11:47] schestowitz-pi gulag is also notorious for shutting things down, e.g. stadia

[11:47] schestowitz-pi imagine developing a game for that. no refund to you.

[11:50] techrights[sec] YouTube is too convenient a means of manipulating the public so it is unlikely

[11:50] techrights[sec] that they'll close it down or even reduce access much.

[11:50] techrights[sec] But they do have a problem in that they have been pissing off and chasing away

[11:50] techrights[sec] both their audience and their video producers.

[11:50] techrights[sec] Fewer feel that they are obliged to stay on Youtube and are finding other

[11:50] techrights[sec] platforms. The other platforms have some of the same problems and some new

[11:51] techrights[sec] ones but will last long enough to be a threat to Youtube

[11:51] schestowitz-pi correct me if I am wrong:

[11:51] schestowitz-pi lbry and its offspring are not p2p like peeetube

[11:51] schestowitz-pi or ?

[11:51] schestowitz-pi decentralised is at least likely to last longer

[11:51] schestowitz-pi like tpb/bittorrent/ipfs

[11:52] schestowitz-pi no single point of failure, not even dns

[11:52] schestowitz-pi barry kluer just wrote about youtube-dl (or offspring) breaking aagin

[11:52] schestowitz-pi i think it's important, so put that in TM front page

[11:52] techrights[sec] LBRY has not proven to be viable yet

[11:54] schestowitz-pi if it is still techncially and legally/financially reliant on crypto-babble

[11:54] schestowitz-pi then it is likely doomed in the long run

[11:54] schestowitz-pi btw, the swiss army knife of gulag youtube informal api for videois under attack

[11:54] schestowitz-pi many other programs rely/ied on it

[11:54] schestowitz-pi maybe even invidious

[11:54] schestowitz-pi rianne says many of the more recet videos are not compatible

[11:54] schestowitz-pi maybe it's that fake 'drm' thing where you need to visit a url for a token

● Feb 20

[12:11] techrights[sec] s/crypto-babble/cryptocurrency-babble/

[12:11] techrights[sec] Youtube block their videos with loads of unskippable ads, there are often

[12:11] techrights[sec] longer ads than the video itself. So, in short, there has been no reason to

[12:11] techrights[sec] visit Youtube for many months, except for an occasional video linked to from

[12:11] techrights[sec] outside without such ads. Those are rare.

[12:14] schestowitz-pi thanks to your code I can get updates on indivious again

[12:14] schestowitz-pi i have a cript, url.sh, to convert these to gemini and invidious

[12:14] schestowitz-pi for some reason, probably the rss fields I target, i cannot get these feeds

[12:14] schestowitz-pi to produce much

[12:14] schestowitz-pi either way, a mixture of both works ok

[12:14] schestowitz-pi i am still culling some more problematic domains

[12:14] schestowitz-pi some of them came from thunderbird

[12:14] schestowitz-pi and can be over a decade old

[12:40] techrights[sec] np

[12:40] techrights[sec] feeds tend to be low yield anyway but at least the script streamlines that

[12:40] techrights[sec] process, even above and beyond what quiterss used to do

● Feb 20

[13:01] schestowitz-pi quiterss is very good for many things and the best among guis i have used

[13:01] schestowitz-pi but to me there were several limitations

[13:01] schestowitz-pi some of them profound

[13:01] schestowitz-pi and the longer i do not use it, the more remorse i feel about staying with it

[13:01] schestowitz-pi trill the disk died

[13:04] techrights[sec] There were some good things about QuiteRSS but a great many shortcomings.

[13:04] techrights[sec] There are many shortcomings with the script but for me it saves about 50% to

[13:04] techrights[sec] 60% of the /effort/ However, I am not a neutral party in that. ;)

[13:09] schestowitz-pi depends on the use cases and untapped potential

[13:09] schestowitz-pi to whit

[13:09] schestowitz-pi some stuff i did before i do faster now

[13:09] schestowitz-pi and also,as a perk, some things I did not envision before

[13:09] schestowitz-pi are not possible, such as in-line links for blockquotes

[13:09] schestowitz-pi this enriches TM and TR

[13:09] schestowitz-pi this even includes "proper" nesting, styles, and lists

[13:09] schestowitz-pi and I am still learning and adapting

[13:09] schestowitz-pi i also widened scope of view to general/politics and back to patents

[13:09] schestowitz-pi trademarks etc.

[13:09] schestowitz-pi i left the latter due to a lack of time and poor s/n ratio when the items were collected

[13:09] schestowitz-pi via gulag noise until late 2021

[13:09] schestowitz-pi i am still modtifying some code to make the workflow smoother and less error-prone

[13:09] schestowitz-pi ass for kde plasma, i ended up using mostly cli and kate for everything, even p/w management

[13:09] schestowitz-pi it's just a lot faster for most things, if you have the patientce

[13:09] schestowitz-pi and then you can psss it to another machine without ssh _X (-X forwarding)

[13:09] schestowitz-pi so in effence one single laptop can have 9 heads, and right now I type into the pi400

[13:09] schestowitz-pi but it is actaully pi->ssh vonick->ssh ytalk

[13:17] schestowitz-pi we used -J a lot with clients

[13:17] schestowitz-pi but...

[13:17] schestowitz-pi some of us used shared accounts

[13:17] schestowitz-pi like "ubuntu" as username

[13:17] schestowitz-pi NOT MY FAULT!!
