[09:59] schestowitz-TR do you want me to swap pi@pi crontab?

[09:59] schestowitz-TR I can just add what you've asked for

[09:59] schestowitz-TR I have lots of tasks to do on it tonight anyway, as it's a new year and some stuff needs intervention

[09:59] schestowitz-TR (I have a list)

[10:48] schestowitz-TR I've long regarded it, based on what I saw, to be a hostile site of Microsofters

[10:48] schestowitz-TR this article is... terrible in a lot of ways

[10:50] schestowitz-TR i don't even know if this hostility is intentional

[10:50] schestowitz-TR at least in this case

[10:50] schestowitz-TR still asessign the text

[10:50] schestowitz-TR I wonder where he got the "facts" from

[10:50] schestowitz-TR Reddit Robertson?

[10:50] techrightssec2 Should analyticsindiamag be added to the spam list so it is avoided in the

[10:50] techrightssec2 future?

[10:50] techrightssec2 It's probably just out of misinformation and ignorance

[10:50] techrightssec2 but that in itself is a problem.

[10:51] schestowitz-TR don't spam it yet

[10:51] schestowitz-TR I think he didn't mean harm

[10:51] schestowitz-TR but I always became cynical when I saw the domain

[10:51] schestowitz-TR they boosted github and microsoft a lot

[10:51] schestowitz-TR and only counted projects controlled by microsoft

[10:51] schestowitz-TR but that was years ago

[10:52] schestowitz-TR 15 minutes to HNY! https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/31/Happy_2023.shtml

[10:52] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-news.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines Happy 2023!

[10:54] techrightssec2 What about providing some feedback to him? A few supportive words correcting

[10:54] techrightssec2 the misunderstanding and pointing to links describing how m$ lied about Minix

[10:54] techrightssec2 might help clear things up.

[10:57] schestowitz-TR 15 minutes to HNY! https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/31/Happy_2023.shtml

[10:57] schestowitz-TR if you can find contact details, good. I saw only a bio. harping about space something

[10:57] schestowitz-TR nothing related to microsoft

[10:57] schestowitz-TR like I said, maybe the edeitor chose the nasty headline

[10:57] schestowitz-TR and is a microsofter

[10:57] schestowitz-TR provocation can get theme more clicks

[10:57] schestowitz-TR btw, i remarked on larabel in irc

[10:57] schestowitz-TR he's feeding anti-linux articles atm

[10:57] schestowitz-TR to sell amd's crap

[10:57] schestowitz-TR i don't trust amd at all! in some ways they've advanced to more sinister things than intel

[10:57] schestowitz-TR they are run by an oimber

[10:57] schestowitz-TR *imber

[10:57] schestowitz-TR *ibmer

[10:57] schestowitz-TR like hovsepian

[10:59] techrightssec2 If the editor is working against the staff by being a microsofter then he must

[10:59] techrightssec2 be let go posthaste

● Dec 31

[11:01] schestowitz-TR info or editor might reach the gatekeeper

[11:01] schestowitz-TR hence have no effect

[11:01] schestowitz-TR unless you reach reach the author by name directly

[11:01] schestowitz-TR it feels like they turned a well-MEANING article into a nasty piece that says the opposite

[11:01] schestowitz-TR mocking linux

[11:01] schestowitz-TR like the leaked presentation

[11:01] schestowitz-TR with "believes in santa"

[11:01] schestowitz-TR nobody uses android

[11:01] schestowitz-TR etc etc.

[11:01] schestowitz-TR or: linux is GAFAM's only

[11:01] schestowitz-TR of course gnu is never mentioned at all

[11:01] schestowitz-TR and they use as references quora

[11:01] schestowitz-TR yes, quora

[11:01] schestowitz-TR randomGuy from quora

[11:34] techrightssec2 True.

[11:35] schestowitz-TR the news about ronaldo is just a spare nail on the coffin

[11:35] schestowitz-TR I already avoid football

[11:35] schestowitz-TR I just check the table once a week, takes a few seconds

[11:44] techrightssec2 "Brands we partner with" ... https://analyticsindiamag.com/about/

[12:01] schestowitz-TR did you hit wrong button?

[12:01] schestowitz-TR anyway, I can retype what I was typing re nitter if you did not see it

[12:01] schestowitz-TR short story, nitter.eu won't redirect anymore

[12:01] schestowitz-TR use nitter.pussthecat.org

[12:01] schestowitz-TR i did not click anything strange

[12:01] schestowitz-TR maybe a connection problem

[12:01] schestowitz-TR it does not matter

[12:01] schestowitz-TR you posted some email addresses or somethingnot sure there was anything critical there

[12:01] techrightssec2 probaly hit the wrong button but not aware of doing so

[12:01] techrightssec2 I saw the nitter info, thanks. The other domains seem down too

[12:01] techrightssec2 Nah, it was probably on my end.

[12:02] techrightssec2 analyticsindiamag.com "partners" with m$ and IBM

[12:03] techrightssec2 analyticsindiamag.com "partners" with m$ and IBM

[12:03] techrightssec2 It'd probably worth sending a very brief mail his way 1) to test the address

[12:03] techrightssec2 2) to provide a little feedback

[12:04] techrightssec2 to sound out their actual stance on FOSS

[13:09] techrightssec2 Parts 1, 2, and 3 of Andy's series need links forward in the TOC. The internal

[13:09] techrightssec2 link method is unfamiliar. Can you please fix 1, 2, and 3 so that the TOC

[13:09] techrightssec2 points to all four parts? It would help people to find their way through

[13:09] techrightssec2 the series.

[13:15] schestowitz-TR ok, wait

[13:15] schestowitz-TR oh, you already do this

[13:15] schestowitz-TR it said you were editing the latest

[13:19] schestowitz-TR ok, wait

[13:20] schestowitz-TR oh, you already do this

[13:20] schestowitz-TR it said you were editing the latest

[13:20] schestowitz-TR thanks, looks like you beat me to it

[13:20] schestowitz-TR I am doing a post about gemini's growth

[13:20] schestowitz-TR important to encourage more people to join

[13:20] schestowitz-TR and keep the momentum going

[13:20] schestowitz-TR rms says they are understaffed

[13:20] schestowitz-TR I responded to him this morning

[13:30] techrightssec2 Unknown provenance: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlHtbaRWAAEdwdv?format=jpg&name=large

[13:30] techrightssec2 "intellectual [sic] property [sic]"

[13:32] schestowitz-TR was this bill scheduled to be decided upon at this time?

[13:32] schestowitz-TR or was this time chosen to duck what's left of ****lists

[13:36] schestowitz-TR US government: trust us on experimental vaccines, even though we're suing the company that make it for colluding against the public

[13:36] techrightssec2 The latter, it would have passed by default if unaddressed by 28 Dec 2022

[13:36] techrightssec2 However, Hochul got a shitload of carve outs including exceptions for

[13:36] techrightssec2 farm equipment, motor vehicles, medical equipment, data center equipment, and

[13:36] techrightssec2 a few others. On top of that, there is a "safety" / "security" except across

[13:36] techrightssec2 the board and the encouragement of selling clusters of components as "assemblies" to dodge selling individual com

[13:36] techrightssec2 ponents.

[13:39] schestowitz-TR regarding hochul, this is very typical of activism

[13:39] schestowitz-TR upc is a good example of it

[13:39] schestowitz-TR persistence is needed

[13:39] schestowitz-TR because the system is not an instrument os jutice

[13:39] schestowitz-TR you need to keep punching at it

[13:39] schestowitz-TR to get anything just

[13:39] schestowitz-TR iirc, louis is about 30

[13:39] schestowitz-TR not sure how much of that he has experienced already

[14:01] techrightssec2 Louis routinely mistakes comments from astroturfers and shills as honest

[14:01] techrightssec2 comments, but otherwise he is fairly street smart in regards to politics.

[14:01] techrightssec2 He has personally been most of the way through the school of hard knocks

[14:01] techrightssec2 on his pursuit of "Right to Repair" issues for his business.

[15:59] schestowitz-TR --

[15:59] schestowitz-TR oh, shit, looking at blogs today I realised many people had a truly shitty year this year

[15:59] schestowitz-TR like really, really bad

[15:59] schestowitz-TR not just economic reasons

[15:59] schestowitz-TR or war

[15:59] schestowitz-TR afaik, there are no promises made for 2023 that would give people morale

[15:59] schestowitz-TR my sister says the news does not cover suicide stats for fear it would reinforce a mood

[15:59] schestowitz-TR and by doing so increase or exacerbate the problem

[15:59] schestowitz-TR I've just added 4 links to TM

[15:59] schestowitz-TR seems nobody had a good year

[15:59] schestowitz-TR and the same was true for prior years
