[05:21] schestowitz-TR the patent troll now sounds more like bullshitting

[05:21] schestowitz-TR the long PDFs have turned into just emails asking for money

[05:21] schestowitz-TR I am ignoring of course

[05:21] schestowitz-TR yesterday due to irc I did not find any time to do articles, but my notes are still intact and maybe I'll get it done shortly

[06:44] schestowitz-TR talking about the issue openly would make the event not a "Safe space"

[06:44] schestowitz-TR we're talking about this in the IRC channel this morning

[06:44] schestowitz-TR FSF has been sanitised out of any revolutionary element

[06:44] schestowitz-TR because of a sixth sense for corporate acceptance

[06:45] schestowitz-TR or acceptance of corporate shills like those who signed the petiion

[06:45] schestowitz-TR last night "The Linux Experiment" published a video entitled Microsoft isn't the enemy

[06:45] schestowitz-TR or something to that effect

[06:45] schestowitz-TR RMS is the enemy

[06:45] schestowitz-TR Microsoft is not

[06:45] schestowitz-TR -The Linux Experiment

[06:46] Techrights-sec CoCs are, as known, used to silence various topics unrelated to civil rights etc

[06:46] Techrights-sec What a tool, a dumbfuck.

[06:46] Techrights-sec How can a non-idiot become so detached from reality without being on the take?

[06:46] Techrights-sec Holy shit, it's right there in the title:

[06:46] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-odysee.com | MICROSOFT isn't the ENEMY of Linux and FOSS anymore, but it's no friend either...

[06:46] Techrights-sec What a tool || fool he is.

[07:01] Techrights-sec basically and he seems to soft-pedal the 1990s while glossing over the 1980s

[07:01] Techrights-sec He tries to spin the behaviors as past actions and not ongoing, continued

[07:01] Techrights-sec attacks against everyone and everything. At least he almost called them out

[07:01] Techrights-sec over OOXML but missed out a key point that no one not even m$ uses it.

[07:01] Techrights-sec And he bullshits on WSL, overstating its capabilities. The kernel

[07:01] Techrights-sec 'contributions' are mistaken for help rather than dumping crap m$-orient

[07:01] Techrights-sec code.

[07:01] Techrights-sec He observes, correctly, that m$ aims to control now via the "cloud"

[07:01] Techrights-sec He misses the core of the problem with GitHub

[07:02] Techrights-sec M$ Co-pilot, unlike his claim, is a copyright infringing service.

[07:02] Techrights-sec Definitely not his best video. He's off badly in each segment.

[07:06] Techrights-sec "secure-core"

[07:06] Techrights-sec the thicker part of the wedge, long after the thin edge

[07:06] Techrights-sec ^ topic

[07:07] schestowitz-TR draft

[07:07] schestowitz-TR does that refer to something in an article?

[07:07] schestowitz-TR secure core?

[07:07] schestowitz-TR back doors agencies like NSA misframe security"

[07:07] schestowitz-TR they hijack and change the words

[07:07] schestowitz-TR I could dop a video rebuttal to nick, maybe...

[07:07] schestowitz-TR unless playing him back (playback) does more harm than good

[07:13] Techrights-sec secure-core has hardly been covered at all; remember 20+ years ago when M$

[07:13] Techrights-sec tried to acquire Pheonix or AMI BIOS? I forget which. That was when theyu

[07:13] Techrights-sec laid out their strategy to also beging lock-in from the hardware on up.

[07:13] Techrights-sec Not just from the OS on down. I'm missing a few steps but secure-core appears

[07:13] Techrights-sec to be a certification programme where restricted boot is not just on by default

[07:13] Techrights-sec but on permanently in such a way as to prevent non-M$ systems from booting.

[07:13] Techrights-sec Anyway as for the draft, a reminder about the anti-RMS petition tied to the

[07:13] Techrights-sec unfounded smear campaign is needed. The campaign was based on baldfaced lies

[07:13] Techrights-sec which too many, out of apparent eagerness to lynch RMS or destroy FOSS,

[07:13] Techrights-sec did not examine.

[07:13] Techrights-sec Then a /proper/ rebuttal of nick's video is needed. The above draft was pushe

[07:13] Techrights-sec d out halfbaked. :/

[07:13] Techrights-sec The whole video does not necessarily have to be address, just pick apart

[07:13] Techrights-sec the recurring themes.

[07:14] schestowitz-TR i've already published that

[07:14] schestowitz-TR should I do a video later?

[07:14] schestowitz-TR i did not watch the video

[07:14] schestowitz-TR maybe better not to play it back at all and focus on the other topics (3) i have in drafts

[07:14] schestowitz-TR ok, i will move the irc notes to draft

[07:14] schestowitz-TR to respond to later

[07:14] schestowitz-TR i need to avoid irc today

[07:14] schestowitz-TR to get articles done

[07:14] Techrights-sec Thanks!

[07:14] Techrights-sec IRC is a time sink at best

[07:16] schestowitz-TR so i have 4 drafts, i will do a video for each, then work on text,

[07:16] schestowitz-TR maybe past midday

[07:17] Techrights-sec ack

[07:41] Techrights-sec revisit bandwidth and web page bloat

[07:41] Techrights-sec ^ topic

[07:41] Techrights-sec there are no small pages any more, nor much of any server-side activty,

[07:41] Techrights-sec despite some countries still requiring small pages as part of defence

[07:41] Techrights-sec readiness

[07:41] Techrights-sec That may be a key reason why m$ and its controlling interests have started

[07:41] Techrights-sec their nearly all-out campaign to disparage and eliminate SSH

[07:41] Techrights-sec Part of that can be subversion of the developent process, too

[07:41] Techrights-sec Afterall, m$ has been "helping" OpenSSH for a while ...

[07:42] schestowitz-TR If we get to the point of U-boat revisited, I think Techrights won't be the highest priority

[07:42] schestowitz-TR small pages can be sent over satellite

[07:42] schestowitz-TR unless they too get gunned down

[07:42] schestowitz-TR ssh access is low b/w

[07:42] schestowitz-TR but for visitors there are constrained

[07:42] schestowitz-TR ipfs is... becoming interesting

[07:42] schestowitz-TR the raison detre of the Internet

[07:42] schestowitz-TR during cold war

[07:46] schestowitz-TR --

[07:46] schestowitz-TR just finished shaving, but the battery of it is awful. it's a 1990s appliance with battery last replaced around 2009

[07:46] schestowitz-TR not much incentive to replace it anymore

[07:46] schestowitz-TR anyway, got 5 topics now

[07:46] schestowitz-TR will try to stick to plan

[07:46] schestowitz-TR lots of text and URLs I can reuse, so writing can be a very smooth process

[07:46] schestowitz-TR like I said, my workflow is all wrong

[07:47] schestowitz-TR due to priorities being impulsive

[07:47] schestowitz-TR momentum, not rationale

[08:35] schestowitz-TR but that's not worthy of a mention

[08:35] schestowitz-TR I have 5 topics now

[08:35] schestowitz-TR probably too much

[08:35] schestowitz-TR as I have a load of rss feeds and links to catch up with first

[11:35] schestowitz-TR safe to say that no matter where one lives, it's hard to find good news

[11:35] schestowitz-TR and uncertainty is growing over a whole range of issues

[11:35] schestowitz-TR after all, it's one planet, same 'league'

[11:35] schestowitz-TR we hear of people we know losing everything, falling into depression, or sinking into both

[11:35] Techrights-sec ack

[11:35] schestowitz-TR a lot of good journalism now gets demoted

[11:35] schestowitz-TR as it is seen as a "luxury" topic and not as urgent as several more pressing issues

[11:35] schestowitz-TR which I think worsens accountability

[11:40] Techrights-sec I would also guess that the diminishing of journalism is closely tied to

[11:40] Techrights-sec the ongoing media consolidation which was allowed to start in the 1980s

[11:40] Techrights-sec There's now not even a handful of companies which own more or less all

[11:40] Techrights-sec media in the US, for example. May regions there do not have coverage from

[11:40] Techrights-sec more than one company and many more don't even have a source which actually

[11:40] Techrights-sec reports on local news.

[11:41] schestowitz-TR (just a casual observation)

[11:41] schestowitz-TR apathy to news, based on immediate priorities

[11:41] Techrights-sec Not just apathy but those news deserts which were mentioned the other day.

[11:41] schestowitz-TR no news is good news(tm)

[11:44] Techrights-sec :/

[11:47] schestowitz-TR at least you know what I meant

[11:47] schestowitz-TR important things compete with

[11:47] schestowitz-TR a) immediate fear (war)

[11:47] schestowitz-TR b) clickbait

[11:47] schestowitz-TR c) screen time monopolists

[11:47] schestowitz-TR i think in the long run the important stories will be worth it

[11:47] schestowitz-TR because a b and c mean that nobody else covers them

[11:47] schestowitz-TR I'm almost done with links, can start recording sooner than expected

[11:47] schestowitz-TR the gbp sank

[11:47] schestowitz-TR but I don't think it affects rianne and I much

[11:47] schestowitz-TR for a number of reasons

[11:47] schestowitz-TR i know people whom this hurts very badly

[11:49] schestowitz-TR ---

[11:49] schestowitz-TR there are two parallel things that guage progress

[11:49] schestowitz-TR one is written, docuemneted material

[11:49] schestowitz-TR antoher is immaterial knowledge and narrative

[11:49] schestowitz-TR that can be leveraged letter to explain issues

[11:49] schestowitz-TR one is about material output

[11:50] schestowitz-TR another is potential per se

[11:50] schestowitz-TR i think on a number of topics we have the ability to cover properly

[11:50] schestowitz-TR and explain certain issues well

[11:50] schestowitz-TR glyn moody is still barely visible

[11:50] schestowitz-TR i think doctorow was very busy with a book lately

[11:50] schestowitz-TR books are a waste of time

[11:50] schestowitz-TR young people perceive them as non grata

[11:50] schestowitz-TR availability is another problem and it'll worsen over time

[11:52] Techrights-sec I wish Glyn maintained a feed or a list or something so that it would be

[11:52] Techrights-sec easier (i.e. possible) to find his current work. He is easily one of the

[11:52] Techrights-sec top two or three remaining tech writers.

[11:52] Techrights-sec Young people not only /don't/ read many actually, in practice, /can't/ read.

[11:53] schestowitz-TR done feeds from kate

[11:53] schestowitz-TR will let rianne do the first round in quiterss later

[11:53] schestowitz-TR posting daily links now

[12:13] psydruid my nieces read and even work in order to be able to buy books

[12:13] psydruid but it may be a cultural thing

[12:13] psydruid as in being too consumed by other media

[12:14] schestowitz-TR OTA shortly

[12:14] schestowitz-TR psydruid: books last long

[12:14] schestowitz-TR and if you liek the books, you can take them places

[12:14] schestowitz-TR or give to a friend

[12:14] schestowitz-TR not everything being "tech" is better

[12:14] schestowitz-TR books don't need backup and battery changes

[12:15] psydruid I have lots of books, mainly in boxes at the moment

[12:16] psydruid but I have the ones I am reading here

[12:17] psydruid tech books I mostly have in digital form these days because they are more ephemeral

[12:18] schestowitz-TR tech books lose value very fast

[12:18] schestowitz-TR because tech changes feast

[12:18] schestowitz-TR case of point: value of C++ book from 1995

[12:18] schestowitz-TR verrsus

[12:18] schestowitz-TR how to play guitar, 1995

[12:21] psydruid I only bought The C++ Programming Language Third Edition in 1998

[12:21] schestowitz-TR is it still worth a look?

[12:21] psydruid I have relatively few tech books

[12:21] schestowitz-TR online docs might be a lot more up to date

[12:21] psydruid no, it has been superseded by newer standards

[12:22] psydruid I've finished most of Stroustrup's newer book A Tour of C++ about C++17

[12:23] psydruid but yeah, you know where to get those

[12:24] psydruid keeping people on the treadmill is the name of the game

[12:24] psydruid so I jumped 20 years ahead by reading this book

[12:25] psydruid I don't know how people keep up with all the new stuff, as it's simply too much

[12:26] schestowitz-TR psydruid: i programmed a lot

[12:26] schestowitz-TR less in recent years

[12:26] schestowitz-TR but teens and 20s a lot

[12:27] schestowitz-TR and some of that published

[12:27] schestowitz-TR so I learned what code becomes useless shita

[12:27] schestowitz-TR *shit

[12:27] schestowitz-TR before I spent more time writing online and doing irc etc.

[12:27] schestowitz-TR bash seems to have a good shelf life

[12:27] schestowitz-TR gnu tools are good items to use

[12:27] schestowitz-TR python and php are not

[12:28] psydruid I generally don't write crappy code, so I manage to keep it updated over time

[12:28] schestowitz-TR even worse for larger frameworks

[12:28] psydruid yeah

[12:28] schestowitz-TR lego building with modules (perl, ruby etc.) is still risky

[12:28] schestowitz-TR because you then depend on each package in the chain

[12:28] schestowitz-TR for each distro you choose

[12:28] schestowitz-TR compiling from source can become hard

[12:28] schestowitz-TR like some new glib

[12:29] schestowitz-TR tbh,

[12:29] schestowitz-TR me being defeatist

[12:29] schestowitz-TR all code sucks

[12:29] schestowitz-TR and can be written with the assumption of being only temporarily useful

[12:29] schestowitz-TR watch xul

[12:29] schestowitz-TR and old android "apps"

[12:29] schestowitz-TR you cannot even run them anymore

[12:31] schestowitz-TR but...

[12:31] schestowitz-TR the android users on the treadmill

[12:31] schestowitz-TR cannot run the binaries you run locally

[15:01] schestowitz-TR trolls are time-consuming because it's hard tro refrain from resonding to uttered words you know to be false

[15:01] schestowitz-TR i'm still editing the draft a little, but you can preview and help spot typos

[15:01] schestowitz-TR no summary yet

[15:07] psydruid professional Microsoft trolls are a drain on society and the economy

[15:10] schestowitz-TR yeah

[15:10] schestowitz-TR and forums

[15:10] schestowitz-TR you can see context in another channelk

[15:10] schestowitz-TR adding summary now

[15:10] schestowitz-TR tradeoff between clarify and using limited timew wisely

[15:10] schestowitz-TR feel free to ignore me

[15:10] schestowitz-TR and to carry on doing other things

[15:10] schestowitz-TR if you are busy, i'll go ahead

[15:10] Techrights-sec checking

[15:10] Techrights-sec "here" should not be the hyperlink's anchor, the text in the anchor should

[15:11] Techrights-sec be "S.4913 Securing Open Source Software Act of 2022" or just "S.4913"

[15:11] Techrights-sec or just "Securing Open Source Software Act of 2022", something semantically

[15:11] Techrights-sec meaningful.

[15:14] schestowitz-TR thank you. finalising. then the ns1/net article.

[15:29] Techrights-sec np

[15:29] Techrights-sec likewise "says this page" should not be the anchor text, but instead

[15:29] Techrights-sec "The overwhelming majority of computers in the world rely on open source code freely available code that anyone can contribute to,"

[15:30] schestowitz-TR thanks, already pressed publish and moved n :/

[15:30] schestowitz-TR *on

[15:30] schestowitz-TR found many typos, too

[15:31] schestowitz-TR (typos don't bother me in irc, but it's a troll's best friend for ad hom, esp. if it's in the site

[15:31] schestowitz-TR and now an irc network (irc bot or me directly))

[15:51] schestowitz-TR third one in in drafts now

[15:51] schestowitz-TR i've strarted working on the second, which is longer and thus harder

[15:51] schestowitz-TR the 3rd one is short

[15:51] schestowitz-TR you can see the draft

[15:51] schestowitz-TR quotes you a bit

[16:07] Techrights-sec best not to quote that, it was off the record private

[16:41] Techrights-sec For how many more product cycles will "secure boot" have the opion to be

[16:41] Techrights-sec turned off in UEFI and for how many more Vist release will Vista allow that

[16:41] Techrights-sec option to even exist?

[16:41] schestowitz-TR mjg59_: ^

[16:41] schestowitz-TR you vandal

[16:42] schestowitz-TR this will haunt you for years

[16:42] schestowitz-TR people who know better will remember who to blame

[16:49] psydruid I knew when I got my first system with UEFI it would also be my last one (within boundaries)

[16:50] psydruid so mjg59_'s life's work is all for nothing but a paycheck

[16:50] psydruid that he will take into his grave anyway

[16:51] psydruid that laptop from 6 years ago works just as well today as it did back then

[16:52] psydruid so his sabotage will have diminishing returns over time

[16:54] schestowitz-TR there should be antitrust actions

[16:55] schestowitz-TR there were some

[16:55] schestowitz-TR he undermined them

[16:55] schestowitz-TR for a Pentagon salary

[16:55] schestowitz-TR now he uses those salaries to run around and get peopple to deliver food to his door

[16:55] schestowitz-TR like slaves

[16:56] psydruid it's pity money

[16:56] psydruid I wouldn't want that blood money

● Sep 28

[17:04] psydruid the best thing to do is to freeze such people out

[17:05] psydruid maybe even to get their assets seized

[18:04] Techrights-sec Corporate or corporations?

[18:04] Techrights-sec Maybe it would be good to avoid athropomorphizing them and instead point out

[18:04] Techrights-sec that they are a group of people?

[18:04] Techrights-sec The paragraph starting "and they didn't even .." probably ought to be joined

[18:04] Techrights-sec with some of the preceding sentences and the paragrah split above that join?

[18:04] Techrights-sec If at all.

[18:04] Techrights-sec The acronym DPA needs to be expanded. at the least

[18:08] schestowitz-TR thanks, doing a second (final) pass now

[18:08] schestowitz-TR then the response to nick's video

[18:08] Techrights-sec np

[18:08] Techrights-sec nick's video was disappointing but not as bad as it initially looked however

[18:08] Techrights-sec not good just disappointing

[18:27] Techrights-sec It is clickbait but that does not stop him from expressing troubling statements

[18:27] Techrights-sec and glossing over problems. Like I said, it is very disappointing.

[18:41] schestowitz-TR I called it clickbait

[18:41] schestowitz-TR upon listening to it the first time

[18:41] schestowitz-TR the self-harming kind of clickbaiot

[18:41] schestowitz-TR like phoronix

[18:41] schestowitz-TR the story ends with a boy eaten by wolves by doing it too much

[18:41] schestowitz-TR i left aside uefi as a futurew [topic]

[18:48] schestowitz-TR top comment: microsofter

[18:48] schestowitz-TR they are often there

[18:48] schestowitz-TR but this one even admits it

[18:48] schestowitz-TR draft

[18:48] schestowitz-TR the comment has a full generic name of a female

[18:48] schestowitz-TR so you know Microsoft PR has put that site under "observation" for perception management

[18:48] schestowitz-TR disagreeing is potential "sexism"

[18:48] schestowitz-TR that's why i stay well away from sh****les like reddit and hackernes

[18:48] schestowitz-TR don't want to srestle with pigs

[18:49] schestowitz-TR only the pigs GET PAID for it

[18:52] schestowitz-TR but then the pig gets paid some more

[19:00] schestowitz-TR i really ought to limit emes to just [meme]-labeled post

[19:00] schestowitz-TR thanks for pointing this out

[19:00] schestowitz-TR i will take a deserved break now...

[19:00] schestowitz-TR then catch up with rss

[19:01] schestowitz-TR rianne kept tm up to date with the other contribs

[19:02] Techrights-sec ok

[19:02] Techrights-sec nice

[19:02] Techrights-sec should tm have an rsync mirror in to topologically (networkwise) distinct

[19:02] Techrights-sec locations?

[19:02] Techrights-sec s/to/two/

[19:02] schestowitz-TR yes, definitely

[19:02] schestowitz-TR it also acts as data backup

[19:02] schestowitz-TR not just downtime resistance (can mess with dns)

[19:03] Techrights-sec Which machine can be the second host for that?

[19:03] schestowitz-TR will think about it after a nap ;-)
