schestowitz-TR | it's shooting up, out of control (see cumulative debt charts) | Jun 06 09:12 |
schestowitz-TR | and now the general population feels that in inflation, too | Jun 06 09:12 |

schestowitz-TR | they will contribute anything, or as much ss Europe does | Jun 06 09:12 |
schestowitz-TR | I think "Linux" will be missing the point | Jun 06 09:12 |

Techrights-sec | Or how Android uses people, rather. And the fact that it's more or less | Jun 06 09:13 |
Techrights-sec | closed source in practice despite being ostensibly open source. It's | Jun 06 09:13 |
Techrights-sec | a pervasive problem which I hope is no longer growing. Look at BigBlueButton | Jun 06 09:13 |
Techrights-sec | which is ostensibly FOSS but in practice a closed blob. | Jun 06 09:13 |
schestowitz-TR | many things we wrote over the years aged well wrt openweasing | Jun 06 09:18 |

schestowitz-TR | not to even comment on "Inshaallah" | Jun 06 09:18 |
schestowitz-TR | that's just nihilism | Jun 06 09:18 |
schestowitz-TR | but a lot of what exists now will die soon | Jun 06 09:18 |
schestowitz-TR | like Goolgle+ | Jun 06 09:18 |

schestowitz-TR | and Google Hangouts | Jun 06 09:18 |
schestowitz-TR | yes, they killed that too | Jun 06 09:18 |
schestowitz-TR | they still try to figure out how to 'monetise' other people's chats | Jun 06 09:18 |
Techrights-sec | yesm that is good | Jun 06 09:19 |
Techrights-sec | inaction in face of hostile opponents who have long term plans which exploit | Jun 06 09:19 |
Techrights-sec | that inaction | Jun 06 09:19 |
schestowitz-TR | reducing dependence on fossil fuel is a start | Jun 06 09:20 |

Techrights-sec | not just that but they work against and agitate against all forms of open | Jun 06 09:21 |
Techrights-sec | standards and general interoperability. | Jun 06 09:21 |
Techrights-sec | I refuse to forgive Digg for taking side against open standards at a time | Jun 06 09:21 |
Techrights-sec | when Digg was at its peak popularity. Digg is gone but the damage it helped | Jun 06 09:21 |
Techrights-sec | do is not. | Jun 06 09:21 |
schestowitz-TR | in history timelines for the www many forget or leave out complely digg.com | Jun 06 09:23 |
schestowitz-TR | though it peaked for about 2 years | Jun 06 09:23 |
schestowitz-TR | I don't suppose Slashdot is regarded as much, either | Jun 06 09:23 |
schestowitz-TR | the life cycle of many sites is like this | Jun 06 09:23 |
schestowitz-TR | phoronix turned 18 yesterday | Jun 06 09:23 |
schestowitz-TR | today in shitter (twitter) I saw a microsofter linking to my posts about phoronix selling out | Jun 06 09:23 |
schestowitz-TR | not sure what to make of that... | Jun 06 09:23 |
Techrights-sec | slashdot died after a series of severe blows, each one successively worse | Jun 06 09:32 |
Techrights-sec | that the previous. Those were the repeated sales. It's mostly a spam site | Jun 06 09:32 |
Techrights-sec | with spam comments nowadays, the domain is still in use though even if only | Jun 06 09:32 |
Techrights-sec | [for spam | Jun 06 09:32 |
Techrights-sec | not sure, M$ is alwaus malevolent, so they certainly did not mean well by | Jun 06 09:32 |
Techrights-sec | lining, in any case. | Jun 06 09:32 |
schestowitz-TR | I've just watched some "the linux gamer" | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | videos, he made a new channel with his girlfriend | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | I think (guess) some youtuber don't see their future | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | there, judging by recent (years old) trends | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | I feel bad for those who dropped out of college to do | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | their youtube 'career' | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | I explained video hosting to rianne yesterday | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | as she tends to assume youtube is always | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | "just there"... | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | far too many people weree enticed by the 'free' | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | with russian energy being cut, maybe Microsoft DCs can stop up and heat up the homes | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | the DCs will burn lumber and oxygen | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | then deliver what's left of the combustion | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | "data processing" | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | LF insists that Microsoft burning all this energy is "green" (bribed-for PR) | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | and the other day christine hall promotes the DC openwashing initiative of | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | Microsoft after LF had taken onboard | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | she's so deep in LF pockets now that she would even participate in | Jun 06 11:55 |
schestowitz-TR | Microsoft openwashing | Jun 06 11:56 |
schestowitz-TR | sorry, this I cannot accept | Jun 06 11:56 |

schestowitz-TR | draft | Jun 06 12:34 |
schestowitz-TR | hardshly worded or OK? | Jun 06 12:34 |
Techrights-sec | checking | Jun 06 12:35 |
Techrights-sec | ok, as long as the assertions are well-documented | Jun 06 12:35 |
Techrights-sec | might want to mention (along with the links) that they /are/ well-documented | Jun 06 12:35 |
schestowitz-TR | his response to me was a long non-denial | Jun 06 12:35 |
Techrights-sec | right but TR does have pages backing up the assertions still and those can | Jun 06 12:37 |
Techrights-sec | be linked to. Otherwise, it might be softened, but only slightly. | Jun 06 12:37 |
schestowitz-TR | therea<re 4 links there | Jun 06 12:37 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Jun 06 12:42 |
Techrights-sec | the last one is clearly labeled | Jun 06 12:43 |
Techrights-sec | yes | Jun 06 12:43 |
Techrights-sec | correct, but repetition / reminders are necessary : memories are short and new | Jun 06 12:43 |
Techrights-sec | people do show up and arrive in the middle of the saga | Jun 06 12:43 |
schestowitz-TR | this one I am quite certain about | Jun 06 12:44 |
schestowitz-TR | and he did have his window for response | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | I don't publish things I might regret or unpublish at a later point | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | there was an incentive for me to protect and send him traffic | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | but I could no longer carry on | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | this crate is a pandor'a box | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | IU'm susprised he keeps publishing it | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | some people's greatest weakness is a lack of reluctrance to show off | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | it can become self-exposing if not incriminating | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | many youtubers are like that | Jun 06 12:45 |
schestowitz-TR | oh, btw, gardiner insinuated that some criticiswm of mozills is "conspiracy theories" | Jun 06 12:47 |
schestowitz-TR | though he said conceded that some of it is legitimate | Jun 06 12:47 |
schestowitz-TR | I did not see any cracks speaking about mozilla | Jun 06 12:48 |
schestowitz-TR | then again, maybe I don't check shitpost sites like reddit | Jun 06 12:48 |
Techrights-sec | I've been ignoring Gardiner lately. He has gone out of his way to burn his | Jun 06 12:48 |
Techrights-sec | remaining credibility. | Jun 06 12:48 |
schestowitz-TR | he started a channel with his g/f emily (after the house move) and that channel is absolutely garbage | Jun 06 12:51 |
schestowitz-TR | but I am judging only by the first video there, which got the most views | Jun 06 12:51 |
schestowitz-TR | I thought of him because | Jun 06 12:52 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) the showoff thing (making a video about getting a huge house with BTC... where from? while turning the channelk into valvevi | Jun 06 12:52 |
schestowitz-TR | lla) | Jun 06 12:52 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) I was checking that fiefox video while shaving this morning | Jun 06 12:52 |
schestowitz-TR | *valveville | Jun 06 12:52 |
schestowitz-TR | then making a joke video about selling out | Jun 06 12:52 |
schestowitz-TR | then going mostly silent, with the odd valve video or just nothing | Jun 06 12:52 |
Techrights-sec | Yes, where from? | Jun 06 12:54 |
Techrights-sec | And changing the name of his channel | Jun 06 12:54 |
Techrights-sec | mostly by removing "Linux" from the title. | Jun 06 12:54 |
Techrights-sec | Lunduke also dropped FOSS / Linux topics completely, as well. | Jun 06 12:54 |
Techrights-sec | yes | Jun 06 12:54 |
schestowitz-TR | it's not just gardiner btw | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | jason evangelho is now back... as the thunderbird blogger | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | but his valve shilling blog shut abruptly | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | so you know some of these "influencers" were feeding off a palm directly and indiurectly | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | valve = former microsofter makes a gaming/drm company | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | his new firefox video mentions "Linux" not even once | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | and showers EDGE with some praises | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | claims it has 20% of the market if I got this right (which is a lie) | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | and says Gogle is "AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE WORSE" than Microsoft in the 1990s antitrust days | Jun 06 12:56 |
schestowitz-TR | in terms of market power | Jun 06 12:56 |

Techrights-sec | appicable | Jun 06 12:59 |
schestowitz-TR | it is a very corrupt country; if they could pocket Munich, this is just dress rehearsal | Jun 06 13:00 |
schestowitz-TR | but this is a political problem | Jun 06 13:00 |
schestowitz-TR | from a cult, not a company | Jun 06 13:00 |

schestowitz-TR | their aspirations in east europe may show thewy lose a lot of ground where the nations are richer | Jun 06 13:08 |
schestowitz-TR | in the same way FB tried to get into china and africa | Jun 06 13:08 |

schestowitz-TR | they self-gag | Jun 06 13:10 |
Techrights-sec | it's the coverups which enable it to continue | Jun 06 13:10 |
Techrights-sec | it's probably also related to their turning a blind eye to EPO corruption and | Jun 06 13:10 |
Techrights-sec | illegal activities | Jun 06 13:10 |

Techrights-sec | network providers, AFAIK. DDoS based on targeting the backend of a service | Jun 06 13:35 |
Techrights-sec | needs a third approach. | Jun 06 13:35 |
schestowitz-TR | there's software and even self-hosted appliances (bsd/gnu/linux) that can help thwarts bad actors before they even reach the se | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | rver, like a firewall | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | then the isp is the bottleneck | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | but the idea that we should therefore surrender to clownflare, a hostage operation, means the web is already | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | not worth having | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | because we tolerated back doors and botnets for far too long | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | even clownflare is barely coping, it's overclassifying "threats" | Jun 06 13:38 |
schestowitz-TR | and in many cases demands you run programs because you are presumed a botnet | Jun 06 13:38 |
Techrights-sec | yes but they don't provide the censorship and surveillance that CloudFlare | Jun 06 13:39 |
Techrights-sec | enables | Jun 06 13:39 |
Techrights-sec | presumably accompanied by contributions in kind or monetary | Jun 06 13:39 |

schestowitz-TR | I think you are mistaking two things, but it's considered correct that Microsoft played ball for NSA around that time | Jun 06 13:42 |

schestowitz-TR | or clown computing is basically an illegal action, a data breach | Jun 06 14:07 |
schestowitz-TR | politicians do not seem to understand that or get paid to pretend not to understand the facts | Jun 06 14:07 |
Techrights-sec | yes, some of that is due also to severe corruption, such as in Germany | Jun 06 14:08 |
Techrights-sec | not to mention the US | Jun 06 14:08 |
schestowitz-TR | we need to "keep at it" | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | we are doing OK | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | the each person you spread the message to there will be some colleagues are are told the same | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | to the point where lies cannot sustain themselves | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | then they try to compensate for it by spending millions on PR and marketing | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | and that's when you know you may be "winning" | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | not losing | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | because they see no choice other than making a shitstorm of noise | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | to regain respect | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | and that shitstorm itself can be self-discrediting | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | LF, Moz, EFF, OSI, EPO... | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | they have deep pockets | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | they don't lay down and die | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | if you ask actual people NOT shills | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | i.e. not the random "username" in WWW | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | you quicly see people dislike Microsoft very strongly | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | and Microsoft knows it | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | they try to perpetuate the idea of being reformed and having gained acceptance | Jun 06 14:12 |
schestowitz-TR | this is a faked non-existent sentiment | Jun 06 14:12 |
Techrights-sec | ue also to severe corruption, such as in Germany | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | not to mention the US | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | yes but unlike in decades past, they are made to believe that they are alone | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | and unique in their trouble with M$. Microsofters have long lied to people | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | about their problems, saying to them that they are the only ones who have the | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | problem. | Jun 06 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | also, spending millions on marketing ("Microsoft loves Linux") in areas where you operate at a LOSS, e.g. GitHub, is not someth | Jun 06 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | ing you can carry on doing for many years | Jun 06 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | you need to justify that by showing progress (gullible people or profits) | Jun 06 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | GitHub, like ClownFlare, is in "honeymoon mode" | Jun 06 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | like YouTube for the first 10 years | Jun 06 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | when they actually PAID some creators | Jun 06 14:14 |
Techrights-sec | the ideology behing making everything suck is driven by MBAs mostly | Jun 06 14:16 |
schestowitz-TR | the "everything sucks" PR is not compelling and it's not free | Jun 06 14:16 |
schestowitz-TR | they recently did a tonload of articles about "Open Source" security crises | Jun 06 14:16 |
schestowitz-TR | helped by theor puppet, VMware, among others | Jun 06 14:17 |
schestowitz-TR | they convinced Zemlin | Jun 06 14:17 |
schestowitz-TR | but f* this guy :-) | Jun 06 14:17 |
schestowitz-TR | most people don't even take that prick seriously | Jun 06 14:17 |
schestowitz-TR | certainly not those who he CLAIMS to speak for | Jun 06 14:17 |
schestowitz-TR | "everything sucks" is a defence mechanism, proactive | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | if I fail, it's OK | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | if I don't fail, great | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | you win either way | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | even for making the worst decisions | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | so the strategy is to make Linux seem like a seucity nightmare | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | so that staying with Windows or moving to it seems "reasonable" | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | they have spent a lot of money on these lies | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | and now that so many things have been migrated to gnu/linux (from unix and | Jun 06 14:19 |
schestowitz-TR | from windows) they see no other way to stop it or slow it down | Jun 06 14:19 |

schestowitz-TR | this is catching on, forcing prices down | Jun 06 14:24 |
schestowitz-TR | the future will be OK for those who steer away from the unisys-in-our-lifetime, Microsoft | Jun 06 14:24 |
schestowitz-TR | Windows keeps losing share, reminds me to check the latest data... | Jun 06 14:24 |
schestowitz-TR | won't be part of the future: christome, gardiner, spamnil... | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | they bailed out | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | btw, some of spamnil's videos are still heavily click-bot'ed | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | when you see 3,000 views with zero commands and one like you know it's that | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | adjecent to videos with the same interaction but maybe 30 views | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | and they both suck equally | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | he's trying to market himself as "occassionally viral" | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | by breaking google's ToS | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | I'm not cruel enough to report him to Gulag | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | wow, he has accelerated the bots | Jun 06 14:30 |
schestowitz-TR | sooner or later they'll catch him and take action, I suppose | Jun 06 14:30 |
Techrights-sec | perhaps but the cynic in me says there were be few repercussions for | Jun 06 14:32 |
Techrights-sec | even getting caught out at that kind of fraud. | Jun 06 14:32 |
Techrights-sec | s/were/will/ | Jun 06 14:32 |
schestowitz-TR | can lose the entire channel | Jun 06 14:32 |
Techrights-sec | I would hope so, but the accountability is generally lacking. They are too | Jun 06 14:33 |
Techrights-sec | busy spending resources demonitizing legitimate channels. | Jun 06 14:33 |
schestowitz-TR | anyway, feels like kicking a man while he's down | Jun 06 14:35 |
schestowitz-TR | he used to be a big fan of BN | Jun 06 14:35 |
schestowitz-TR | I'm waiting for the EPO's meeting that can (probably won't) oust Campinos | Jun 06 14:35 |
schestowitz-TR | if the circus carries on, it gives us more to publish | Jun 06 14:35 |
Techrights-sec | Either with him or without him they are most likely to be a clown show | Jun 06 14:36 |
Techrights-sec | for a while. It will take determination above all, followed by a lot of | Jun 06 14:36 |
Techrights-sec | effort, to restore the dignitiy and functionality of the institution. | Jun 06 14:36 |
Techrights-sec | The first step there would be ousting him and changing the hiring procedures | Jun 06 14:36 |
Techrights-sec | to prevent getting more of the same in the next replacement. | Jun 06 14:36 |
schestowitz-TR | the national delegates are of the same religion and the social circles overlap | Jun 06 14:39 |
schestowitz-TR | that too is a challnge -- one that will need expanding upon | Jun 06 14:39 |
schestowitz-TR | the 50-part series showed many examples of that | Jun 06 14:39 |
schestowitz-TR | this is NOT an ideaological battle | Jun 06 14:39 |
schestowitz-TR | it ios a class battle | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | these people with their peach-to-the-choir events are fronting for corporpoations and magnates | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | they won't budge as long as they're well rewarded | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | so we need to convince the workers, those are are not ringleaders in respectgive nations, | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | to demand a return to sanity | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | any showing of solidarity to the mission, or stated goals, helps change t he sentiments | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | KEI was doing this in the area of access to medicine | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | I've not heard or seen James Love for years | Jun 06 14:40 |
Techrights-sec | Correct, like many things these days which are also dressed up as something | Jun 06 14:40 |
Techrights-sec | else, it is a class battle. | Jun 06 14:40 |
schestowitz-TR | in the past 2-4 years they've dressed a lot of the "IP" stuff as "D&I" or "DEI" | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | they even make up acronyms for these | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | LF did the same | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | but those are simple to refuse | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | IBM has quit some of these pseudo-ethics PR charades | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | I suppose seeing it was backfirting rather badly | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | just this past sunday I showed how UPC bullshitters were trying to leverage "DUI" | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | "DEI" | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | with their "DUI" EWPO presiodent ;-) | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | /s/refuse/refute/ | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | important typo | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | if the next series is 10 parts, it can start 12 days before the meeting, 5 pasrts would be a week prior | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | for maximal effect (short memory span) | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | the reps keep asking for the recording | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | to bring the topic back | Jun 06 14:44 |
schestowitz-TR | the f*ing topic back | Jun 06 14:45 |
schestowitz-TR | f* became a common joke in the EPo | Jun 06 14:45 |
schestowitz-TR | F* this F* that | Jun 06 14:45 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Jun 06 14:45 |
schestowitz-TR | the predictable spoiler is, the petition and the survey will bear results before writing to the Council | Jun 06 14:48 |
schestowitz-TR | showing 0% approval for Campinos | Jun 06 14:48 |
schestowitz-TR | you cannot just extend a term of a person if a survey taken by most staff shows this | Jun 06 14:48 |
schestowitz-TR | or else you too, the Council, get 0% | Jun 06 14:48 |
schestowitz-TR | (in 2020 the Council was already 0%, Campinos was 3% approval) | Jun 06 14:48 |
Techrights-sec | one can hope that is the case and that the survey is not just brushed under the | Jun 06 14:48 |
Techrights-sec | rug | Jun 06 14:48 |
schestowitz-TR | epi, all the media, maybe except one blogger in kluwer patent blog, will ignore it | Jun 06 14:49 |
schestowitz-TR | epi is a joke | Jun 06 14:49 |
schestowitz-TR | the whole systen is like a global force of occupation | Jun 06 14:49 |
schestowitz-TR | wipo and wto are like the hq foir the nrve sstem | Jun 06 14:49 |
schestowitz-TR | so we want to find and call out the cross-pollination and inter-orgs corruption | Jun 06 14:49 |
schestowitz-TR | yes!! windows down to 27% | Jun 06 14:55 |

*u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Jun 06 15:07 | |
schestowitz-TR | the moment you say Android people "get" that | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | and these figures already factor in the insignificance of Microsoft in a lot of sectors | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe I could do another video about netcraft, but there would be a lot of repetition | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | the idea is kill the cash cows | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | and stop the bailouts | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | see the rats jumping to other ships :/ | Jun 06 15:07 |

schestowitz-TR | atm we have several orgs on the "run" from a PR POV | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | but their stance or damage control strategy is to never publicly acknowledge it | Jun 06 15:07 |
schestowitz-TR | that campinos went insane because of techrights only egged me on | Jun 06 15:08 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Jun 06 15:11 |
