| schestowitz-TR | I like Glyn's voice and accent (you can hear his age, too) | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | those accents become rare in our generation | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can do various British accents too, but I chose something more people can understand when I was about 17 | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Today I don't want to lose the whole day on patents | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I realise of course, and recalled too an hour ago, | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | that I was reading and writing for social controll media | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | things like hashtags | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | those things affected what I read and wrotew | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's not a good thing | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I found glyn's blog because I wanted to check if he was still active in twitter | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | the amount of interaction he gets there is tiny | May 01 03:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | imho, he's wasting his time there | May 01 03:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | prose and memes are good for humour mostly | May 01 03:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you want to say hypothetical things | May 01 03:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | that are based partly on a reality | May 01 03:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but without being calls "inaccurate" or "false" | May 01 03:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | *called | May 01 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, last I checked, but then that is the case for most people | May 01 03:09 |
| Techrights-sec | I haven't even used the nitter proxy for some time to read anyone's microblog | May 01 03:09 |
| Techrights-sec | most are wasting time at twitter but FOMO | May 01 03:09 |
| Techrights-sec | glyn's blog occasionally covers interesting topics but he seldom mentions his | May 01 03:09 |
| Techrights-sec | writing there, at least his writing about technical matters and tech policy | May 01 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I can do a video to explain this aspect of "social" "media" | May 01 03:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | last I checked, he writes in techdirt, but in shitposting sites he links to any articles there, not just his | May 01 03:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it can be about cops of politics and F words in headlines.. | May 01 03:11 |
| Techrights-sec | I wish he would post short links to his writings in his blog or on the fediverse | May 01 03:12 |
| Techrights-sec | because I would go out of my way to read them but can't normally find them | May 01 03:12 |
| Techrights-sec | techdirt and PIA | May 01 03:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | PIA's blog has not been active since the Lee empire ran into trouble | May 01 03:14 |

| schestowitz-TR | i want to ask, is this a subject we should routinely explode in the future? | May 01 04:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it does fit under our scope | May 01 04:11 |
| Techrights-sec | which topic? | May 01 04:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not sure about relative priority compared to swpats etc | May 01 04:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | centralised & social media | May 01 04:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | being a bad model for the Web/Net | May 01 04:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | EFF never speaks about that, ever | May 01 04:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | If EFF thjinks it can secure its future with a Musk-controlled Twitter account | May 01 04:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | then it put itself in the chalk around the dead person's body | May 01 04:12 |
| Techrights-sec | I think it is a very relevant topic because of the centralization and | May 01 04:15 |
| Techrights-sec | of the demonstrated misuses it has seen and is seeing in regards to misleading | May 01 04:15 |
| Techrights-sec | the public on all parts of the political spectrum | May 01 04:15 |
| Techrights-sec | And because the EFF has not just dropped the ball here but fallen flat on | May 01 04:15 |
| Techrights-sec | its face -- while running towards the opposite goal. | May 01 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, thanks. I just need to think of how to articulate certtain observatioins | May 01 04:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | like how info digestion is covertly impacted and psting alike | May 01 04:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | *posting | May 01 04:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | for "engagement" | May 01 04:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | or how (trying to recall)... one can become more productive without | May 01 04:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | bothering with it at all | May 01 04:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Engagement is the polar opposite of usability / efficiency | May 01 04:18 |
| Techrights-sec | It is about consuming people's limited time and attention. | May 01 04:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is one sub-category of Internet trolling | May 01 04:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | except now it's "popularity" | May 01 04:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you get a president who does it for years | May 01 04:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that helped sell ads in the few years when twitter actually was profitable | May 01 04:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | 'The Official Senses-Taker is a demon that the trio found in The Mountains of Ignorance. He excels in wasting peoples' time and stealing their senses. He also helps people "find what they're not looking for, hear what they're not listening for, etc."" | May 01 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of people who cover the twitter think | May 01 04:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | so I tried not to make it about him | May 01 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | but him being involved can help get people out of there | May 01 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | FB is pretending to be something about "not ads" | May 01 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | in fact, FB is not FB anymore | May 01 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe there are similar plams for Twitter | May 01 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | === | May 01 04:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | some of FB's earlier "research" or "studies" were about average hop numbers in social graphis | May 01 04:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if the interface was made to reward people for telling who they are connected to (school 50 years | May 01 04:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | ago, ex parnter, spouse, cousin...) | May 01 04:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that experiment succeeded | May 01 04:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if you and I do not participate, others will feel the gaps | May 01 04:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe also upload some media with us in it | May 01 04:25 |
| Techrights-sec | FB has been about manipulation and surveillance since early on | May 01 04:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes their studies were about how to tip an election, IIRC even back | May 01 04:26 |
| Techrights-sec | then they could adjust the outcome by 3 points | May 01 04:26 |
| Techrights-sec | in the direction of their choosing | May 01 04:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | fwiw, luka loves that | May 01 04:27 |

| schestowitz-TR | just to avoid oopses, today's otherlinks is empty file last updated 11am yesterday | May 01 04:34 |
| Techrights-sec | Old links are more or less dead and gone even if they still exist because | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | first the search engines not only weight towards newer material, they seem | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | to deindex older material, and second, fulltext searching a massive body | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | of material is all but completely useless for retrieving anything useful; | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | For useful retrieval, the material must be cataloged. Correct | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | they have nothing to do with facillitating access to knowledge and the whole | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | framwork or system is set up to prevent long term preservation of material. | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | today's search "engines" are 100% abour ECONOMICS | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have nothing to do with facilitating access to knowledge | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | look who controls them: shareholders | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and for companies that have a stake in the outcome of what's shown up | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and what you click first | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I try to avoid SEs any time I can | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | wikipedia is a starting point less biased than Gulag shareholders | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | many of the other "search" "engines" are just meta engines feeding off those | May 01 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | who can afford to crawl and then process vast amounts of words | May 01 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | Only somewhat less biased. Most anything of political or economic value | May 01 04:45 |
| Techrights-sec | has been sliced and diced to steer people away from specific ideas, resources, | May 01 04:45 |
| Techrights-sec | sources, and concepts. M$ atack on open standards, and specifically the open | May 01 04:45 |
| Techrights-sec | document format, are two ofthe worst examples but most topics are manipulated | May 01 04:45 |
| Techrights-sec | like that and some even manipulated in a more severe manner. | May 01 04:45 |
| Techrights-sec | Just look at just about any edit war. | May 01 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | Wikipedia is almost ok at being a starting point, but sources and external links | May 01 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | are curated by hostile interests in such a way as to create huge blind spots | May 01 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | in coverage. | May 01 04:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | techrights daily links 'curate' like a million links | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the very least with headlines | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | but those are now in gemini too | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | search inn gemini sucks | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | gus was not broad | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they omit lots of stuff | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | it takes a lot of computer power to process over a million pages | May 01 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no ordinary server can deal with a task, it takes a lot of ram | May 01 04:47 |
| Techrights-sec | yes there is bias there but since it is closer it is more steerable | May 01 04:48 |
| Techrights-sec | As shown in the cursory investigation a few years ago the majority of the | May 01 04:48 |
| Techrights-sec | bytes in your average web page are overhead and provide not just no value and no | May 01 04:48 |
| Techrights-sec | added value but actually damage the value of the information accommanying the | May 01 04:48 |
| Techrights-sec | cruft. IIRC >99% was cruft | May 01 04:48 |
