A source once told us that attacks on Torvalds and 'suspension' (very shortly after announcement of takeover) were meant to lower the price of buying Red Hat. That was a year before quote mining a decade-old RMS on the most problematic issues. ● Feb 02 [09:00] *psydroid4 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 spoke to my dad just now, after I had spoke to my mom [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 he got corona [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 struggled to beathe for a bit, twice [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 had receivedd moderna iirc, only one dose [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 brother also caught it [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 had muscle pains [09:33] schestowitz-TR2 lied on floor at one point [09:34] Techrights-sec https://www.salon.com/2022/02/01/omicron-air-travel-risk/ [09:34] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.salon.com | How omicron changes the calculus of risk on airplanes | Salon.com [09:37] schestowitz-TR2 yes, relatives seem to get it through the kid [09:37] schestowitz-TR2 they are the infection vector you cannopt leave outside the home "for quarantine" [09:37] schestowitz-TR2 based on the accounts >I heard from my 'NDA clones,', same for rianne's sister [09:37] schestowitz-TR2 we would not be asymptomatic, nor be at great risk [09:37] schestowitz-TR2 so I am quite sure we're among the lucky ones, still [09:37] schestowitz-TR2 *DNA clones [09:50] Techrights-sec ack [09:50] Techrights-sec Yes, I've read about that island a little.

[11:21] schestowitz-TR2 this is being considered, after the caution system [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 oofbeat ramble: [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 from my experience over the years it is quite common [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 the comment section or some other thing [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 will attrtact isiots in need of an audience [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 if you deal with them harshly [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 then you make more enemies [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 like "Old Man" [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 Also,, the best cure is to focus on the issues [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 I think Leo Laporte defended me on the air to that effect [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 as he too experienced this [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 as did Michael Arringtonton [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 They try to hold you accountable for the behavious of mpeople [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 whom you barely know [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 and whom you do not defend either [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 in the distant past it was thast "mark Fink" person [11:24] schestowitz-TR2 likely a pseudonym anyway [11:24] Techrights-sec yes it's a tar pit that way [11:31] schestowitz-TR2 today I will focus less on epo and more on ibm [11:31] schestowitz-TR2 i still wonder sometimes who it was that complained to twitter [11:31] schestowitz-TR2 either trans activists with a thin skin or some IBM PR people [11:31] schestowitz-TR2 could be either or both [11:32] Techrights-sec ack [11:32] Techrights-sec or trolls using either to deflect away from themselve [11:32] Techrights-sec s [11:33] schestowitz-TR2 on that occasion, twitter sided with me, but that depends on the assigned [11:33] schestowitz-TR2 moderator and could have a different outcome some other day [11:33] schestowitz-TR2 without even opening up to due process or letting me appeal [11:33] schestowitz-TR2 so this is risky [11:34] Techrights-sec anything with twitter is risky [11:34] Techrights-sec if enough shills click on the report button then twitter will feel compelled to [11:34] Techrights-sec appease them, no matter how far out they are [11:35] schestowitz-TR2 there is some progress on joindiaspora [11:35] schestowitz-TR2 at the end we might be better off in the control sense [11:35] schestowitz-TR2 I might have to pay more for the platform being there [11:35] schestowitz-TR2 I always donated a little [11:35] schestowitz-TR2 but at least I might have more of a hand in the opoerations [11:35] schestowitz-TR2 20% of all posts there ever are mine [11:36] Techrights-sec definitely [11:37] schestowitz-TR2 I might even mention the topic at a later date; atm a lot is done by email [11:37] schestowitz-TR2 to reduce noise and there is a lot of precarious negotiation [11:37] schestowitz-TR2 I very much doubt it is simple to run such a pod or instance [11:37] schestowitz-TR2 but they already limit number of new signups [11:37] schestowitz-TR2 which means moderation is not too much os a hassle [11:37] schestowitz-TR2 in terms of backups, I think the disk space used is vast [11:49] schestowitz x https://metro.co.uk/2022/01/29/julian-assanges-fiancee-on-wikileaks-founders-life-in-belmarsh-16007977/ [11:49] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-metro.co.uk | Julian Assange's fiance on Wikileaks founder's life in Belmarsh | Metro News [11:58] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
