| Techrights-sec | Harmfully, journalism has deteriorated into a "both sides" thing rather than | Oct 02 04:52 |

| schestowitz-TR | but not in video | Oct 02 04:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have a heavy garment on atm to keep me from the cold | Oct 02 04:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe videos will be done sunday | Oct 02 04:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still have rss to go through | Oct 02 04:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also did a few posts re covid-19 in my personal site | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems our decision to NOT get infected was the right one | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | and doable owing to 100% home-working | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe I'll go check plates some times | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | to find sometthing similar | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | those are heavy bowl-like plates | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | finding discounts is not east these dayst | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | the pound fell too, so any imported product is expensive | Oct 02 04:55 |
| Techrights-sec | "false balance" | Oct 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is exactly what happened! | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | And keeps happening | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I say, if that was me, Id be in BIG troiuble | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I get in trouble for even merely leaving a bottle in the 'wrong' place | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | like close to the edge | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | she broke my coffeee dispenser | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but thankfully I found a replacement | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I didn't full seal some taramansalata sauce and she dropped and it spilled | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was not the fall to blame | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but me for not fully sealing it (it was almost empty already... anyway) | Oct 02 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the kitchen, the lady is AlwaysRight(r) ;-) | Oct 02 04:59 |

| schestowitz-TR | been a while since I pressed ctrl+c | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the frequency is lessened | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saw eveyrthing anyway | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | was about to say, and copy-paste taramansalata (don't do that again, roy!!) | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | that incident is like Microsoftism | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did a post about it | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Taramansalata sauce almost empty | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | top of plastic container not sealed fully | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Fridge opened, all good | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | then she pulls something | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | the sauce drops | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | and spills very slsightly (it's almost empty already) | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it is my fauls | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft: has NSA deals | Oct 02 05:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | I hope myannotation of the news was at least helpful | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | as was the title | Oct 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | didn't spend much time on it, maybe worth doing a viddeo on later | Oct 02 05:06 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, revisiting that work flow is a good topic, especially nowadays | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | here is another funny one | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | when using coffee granulates or instant | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is a glass jar | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I faster it like 80% of the way | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that's bad bad | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if she never drinks any coffee | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | or makes any | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | because it MIGHT... one day, fall... | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it never does and I'm the only one handling it | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's also Microsoftism | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | OPEN SOURCE and Go are BAD: they can be used to craft malware! | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | Malware like Windows ;-) | Oct 02 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | /f/faster/fasten/ | Oct 02 05:09 |

| Techrights-sec | types of malware listed in the same headlinrs, as often as they can. | Oct 02 05:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | earlier today I wwent through soem LF shite and noticed | Oct 02 05:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | just how often they use the new FUD phase "supply chain" | Oct 02 05:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | a decade ago they never used that term | Oct 02 05:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just a token foir "some open source software" that's "malicious" , untrustworthy | Oct 02 05:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | unlike secret code from NSA/Microsoft | Oct 02 05:11 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Oct 02 05:11 | |

| schestowitz-TR | techrights: piublishes police and court docs on Rich Allen Jones, MS Peter (FBI), and Garaveley | Oct 02 05:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | trolls: spread false rumours in IRC | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | (many examnples of this, better not name names... as it would further harm them) | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the new "bill" relies on the bogus supply chain narrative | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | see my lastest post | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | of zemlin | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | or the talk | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | he brags about how they are paid to street the induystry | Oct 02 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so now, oin security, they change theb narrative | Oct 02 05:15 |

| Techrights-sec | Nothing about a bill but the 5% of the budget which actually goes to Linux | Oct 02 05:20 |
| Techrights-sec | is shocking. | Oct 02 05:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | The "little bit of" Linux Foundation | Oct 02 05:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they probably handle more money around Microsoft and GitHub than around kernel.org and the 2 or 3 kernel hackers they emmploy | Oct 02 05:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | Linus is the 1% | Oct 02 05:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | he bags 1% of the LINUX Inc. revenue | Oct 02 05:22 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | Oct 02 05:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | no, did not find the time but reckoned reads who see this might pursue | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I want to record some stuff later in daylight and also clean rss feds | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also think it's a shame they use zip files for text | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. if they groupo things | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost like te intention is to PREVENT any search engines from picking that up | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | IOW, minimise discoverability | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | better to even PDF without OCR all ther submissions | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then give a catalogue of the PDFs with names of submitter | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then again, EC has no buidget ;-) | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | all the budget goes to JS toys | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and people whose job is to cover up abuse like the EPO's | Oct 02 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | yuo know | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | I nwas just thinking | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | demanding that rms go see therapists | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | would be worse than cruel | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | like asking a person without legs to go seek help | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | to grow a pair of legs | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | all because rms stares at people | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is widely known to be a symptom that is both harmless and hard to overcome | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | and later they call him "ableist" because he saupports abortion | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | while anyone who does NOT support abortion gets blasted by the very same group | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they cannot be pleased | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | fwiw, phipps regrets his remarks about rms that are classic ableism | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but he cannto take that back | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, rms was right on what he had mocked him for | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | phipps was wrong | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | so maybe it takes a "retard" sometimes to foresee the very obvious. | Oct 02 05:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | to use another analogy, showing an offensive sign to a blind person | Oct 02 05:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they want to do some "shock therapy" for RMS... and he him shout (he has a phobia about head under water too) | Oct 02 05:38 |

| schestowitz | What you saw about LWN I heard from other people. | Oct 02 06:55 |
| schestowitz | I think LWN used to be miles better, but in recent years it was a filter of news/noise. | Oct 02 06:55 |
| schestowitz | Regards, | Oct 02 06:55 |
| schestowitz | PS - I don't know who you are, which in itself might be OK, but I don't wish to be associated directly with an incognito either. I can assess based on evidence and facts and pass on what I can verify to readers. | Oct 02 06:55 |

| Techrights-sec | Putting people off the brand, off the concept of digital rights is an ambition | Oct 02 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec | of the younger crowd there or at least their handlers. | Oct 02 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec | Perhaps only the handlers are aware of the goal and the staff unaware they | Oct 02 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec | are being used. | Oct 02 08:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | i feel bad for people who donated a portion of the salary to eff (cohnPAC) | Oct 02 08:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | even some Gulag money for lobbying ("intern") | Oct 02 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | it defeats the purpose | Oct 02 08:39 |

| Techrights-sec | Back when they were doing worthy things, I donated. But that was years ago. | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | They're not so much fools as malicious as far as I can tell. They are | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | intentionally avoiding many of what were there core digital rights topics and | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | priorities. When they do make an effort, they ensure that it is done in a | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | divisive, exclusionary manner such as to render the results quite ineffective | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | or even moot. It's like they aim for a half measure even while knowing that | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | many of these are all-or-nothing. So in choosing half measures, the ensure | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | that a lot of resources are expended to acomplish, in the end, NOTHING. | Oct 02 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec | There are occasional positive actions: | Oct 02 08:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | maybe vera ranieri is | Oct 02 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so those who stayed cannot see the forst for the tree | Oct 02 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec | However, they seem focused on the individual case(s) and not the bigger | Oct 02 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | long term strategy against software patents themselves. Half-measures designed | Oct 02 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | to waste resources and at the end of the day produce no results. | Oct 02 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | So it's good that they are following that one case, but it's only fruitful | Oct 02 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | if they can fit it in as part of a long term strategy. | Oct 02 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | They don't want to. | Oct 02 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | And their corporate handlers certainly won't remedy that. | Oct 02 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, but to be fair, it is a longsstanding issue | Oct 02 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and 15 years ago techrights explained why "patent busting" one at a time was not the most productive approach | Oct 02 08:46 |

| Techrights-sec | Thinking about the "supply chain" noise against FOSS, the real supply chain | Oct 02 10:23 |
| Techrights-sec | problems are hardware. Everything was outsourced to the vatrious Chinas, | Oct 02 10:23 |
| Techrights-sec | creating more or less a single point of failure. Now the parts to make the parts | Oct 02 10:23 |
| Techrights-sec | to make components to make computers are not available. The fault lies rather | Oct 02 10:23 |
| Techrights-sec | squarely on those that pushed for outsourcing and dismantled domestic production | Oct 02 10:23 |
| Techrights-sec | and manufacturing. So by having the press bleat aspersions against FOSS | Oct 02 10:23 |
| Techrights-sec | they distract from their own misdeeds. | Oct 02 10:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | they talk about this issue too, but not using the same language | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and other contextx | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | in fact, LF et al like to ignrore those aspects altogether | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | shilling NSA/Microsoft GitHub ahile at the same time cautioning | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | about "supply chain" | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | you know, I reckoned that apple going on about "india" is way to distract from the massive fall in sale, and, | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | accordingly, production. | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | that theme overlaps the other and thus people focus on the national aspect rather than economic aspect | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that's just a theory | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | one story needs to sound "similar enough" to the other | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe even provide "cover" | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | like, reduced production, because "we are moving" | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | imagine if shareholders of Apple realise the TRUT worth of this "brand-as-a-company" | Oct 02 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | in times when people abandon brands and become practical | Oct 02 10:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, Apple sales have been plummeting, but that's not so important for them | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | except for image. People still believe that it is a company which makes things | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | rather than what it really is, which is an investment firm. Sure the used to | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | make things but that's not where the money has been for a long time. Sure the | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | quality was quite good, if one considered the unit as a whole, back in Steve | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Jobs' day, but he is dead and gone and their products are craptastic spyware | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | and way, way overpriced craptastic spyware at that. | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Few shareholders care about any aspects of reality. Not at Apple, not at any | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | other company. The share price is what they track, and that is completely | Oct 02 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | divested from the world. LARPers, the lot of them, but with real money. | Oct 02 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | some unknown "events" will inevitably lead toa chain reactionb and collapse of GAFAM shares i.e. 20% of S&P '500' (where 5 is fictional 'tech'^H^H'defende' | Oct 02 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | firms) | Oct 02 10:29 |
| Techrights-sec | One would think, but then again a proper readjustment has been overdue for about | Oct 02 10:29 |
| Techrights-sec | 20 years yet the bubble just continues to inflate. | Oct 02 10:29 |
| Techrights-sec | while still very clearly being nothing more than a bubble. | Oct 02 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | pyramid schemes are like that because they need to keep up with the perceived overall value | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, for arguments' sake, iirc icbm was worth like 300 milliuon a decade ago | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was actually valued HIGHER than Microsoft | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still remember where I lived at the tikme | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and techrights must have mentioned it several times | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and IBM was worth more than apple | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | how the FORK*, during downturn, can a firm be worth trillions? | Oct 02 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | *billion, not 300 million | Oct 02 10:32 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, a pyramid scheme is what it most closely resembles. | Oct 02 10:34 |
| Techrights-sec | The definition of "worth" is a major factor in that assessment. | Oct 02 10:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | the reason the scheme cannot AAFFORD even the mere perception of deflation is, | Oct 02 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | like with stadia | Oct 02 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's cheicken and egg... with both developers and customers | Oct 02 10:35 |
