schestowitz | [SUEPO] Safeguard your rights against the zero adjustment of salaries and pensions in 2022 | Mar 10 14:15 |
schestowitz | Dear colleagues, | Mar 10 14:15 |
schestowitz | The new salary adjustment procedure has caused a loss of purchasing power for all staff and pensioners of the EPO. Its application for 2022 has even resulted in a freeze of salaries and pensions. Looking at the rising cost of living, this zero adjustment - visible in the salary slips and pension statements for January 2022 - is all the more significant. | Mar 10 14:15 |
schestowitz | Mar 10 14:15 | |
schestowitz | The Central Bureau of SUEPO considers the salary adjustment procedure and its implementation for 2022 illegal. Please find in the attachment a model Request for Review (RfR) for active staff and a model RfR for pensioners so that you can safeguard your rights. Even if you already opposed the adjustment in January 2021 using the templates provided by SUEPO, it is advisable to take action again now. The exception clause causing the zero adjustment | Mar 10 14:15 |
schestowitz | has been applied for the first time. | Mar 10 14:15 |
schestowitz | DOWNLOAD RfR for active employees | Mar 10 14:15 |
schestowitz | DOWNLOAD RfR for pensioners | Mar 10 14:16 |
schestowitz | In order to safeguard your rights, you should file the RfR by 15 March 2022 by following the instructions below: | Mar 10 14:16 |

schestowitz-TR2 | recent articles or videos were so effective | Mar 10 14:23 |
schestowitz-TR2 | that we now get ad hominem trolls in irc | Mar 10 14:23 |
Techrights-sec | typical | Mar 10 14:23 |
Techrights-sec | they can't come with anything better, so it shows where to hit them harder again | Mar 10 14:23 |

Techrights-sec | Spafford and many others also backed down over the years and one of the more | Mar 10 15:10 |
Techrights-sec | harmful turns has been the folding of the EFF. | Mar 10 15:10 |
schestowitz-TR2 | when I see eff links I nowadays get all cynical and/or scepticasl | Mar 10 15:11 |
schestowitz-TR2 | because either they hit thew wrong issue | Mar 10 15:11 |
schestowitz-TR2 | or take a position which does not make sense | Mar 10 15:11 |
schestowitz-TR2 | or both | Mar 10 15:11 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Mar 10 15:11 |
Techrights-sec | I figure they were planning on deposing Barlow when he up and died anyway. | Mar 10 15:11 |
schestowitz-TR2 | think began to sour while he was still there and healthy | Mar 10 15:12 |
schestowitz-TR2 | wrong HR decisions | Mar 10 15:12 |
schestowitz-TR2 | then, friend-brings-a-friend magnifies the issue | Mar 10 15:12 |
Techrights-sec | YEs, infiltration that way. | Mar 10 15:13 |
Techrights-sec | For the most part, the EFF appears rudderless. That was probably one of the | Mar 10 15:13 |
Techrights-sec | goals, so that it stopped addressing the purposes it was founded for. | Mar 10 15:13 |
schestowitz-TR2 | Or, as one can see in the FSF, there is fear associating with tackling key issues | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but let me set that aside for a moment | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and try to trace back the modus operandi | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I think you hire some people who do not care about the org | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they can be branded as enriching | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | e.g. to the image | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but not of substance associated with goals | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | nor qualified | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | then they bring in money nfrom the wrong party | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | like mozilla or LF | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | then yoiu become depoendent on that money | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | or else you lose staff, so they fight to keep the money | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | this gives them power | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | e.g. Wim wanting to say why he quit Microsoft | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | surely oracles did not offer him more moneyu | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they could do that to prevent him leaving | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | so he saw something at microsoft | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but now, inside LF board, if he speaks out | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | Microsoft can turn around and asay, remove wim | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | or we stop paying linux foundaitoon and retaliate in other nways to | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | e.g. through shithub | Mar 10 15:17 |
schestowitz-TR2 | linus was never supposed to let these chaions of idiots form power around kernel.oirg | Mar 10 15:18 |
schestowitz-TR2 | not it is too late | Mar 10 15:18 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they have him by the b0lls | Mar 10 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | sounds about right | Mar 10 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | LT can *maybe* still take his trademark and walk. It'd be a big deal and a lot | Mar 10 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | of work but maybe less of a problem for him than if he stays on and continues | Mar 10 15:18 |
Techrights-sec | being marginalized further every month. | Mar 10 15:18 |
schestowitz-TR2 | the media would blast him (you can imagine poissible angles) | Mar 10 15:20 |
schestowitz-TR2 | he does not control the media | Mar 10 15:20 |
schestowitz-TR2 | so it would undermine whatever his reasons (stated) | Mar 10 15:20 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and goals | Mar 10 15:20 |
schestowitz-TR2 | the media can misrepresent him | Mar 10 15:20 |
schestowitz-TR2 | maybe some "old" thing or "man" thing | Mar 10 15:20 |
schestowitz-TR2 | with RMS they can choose more political angles | Mar 10 15:20 |
Techrights-sec | With MIT, they had a lot of their own dirt to distract from not just Bill's | Mar 10 15:21 |
schestowitz-TR2 | LT was reduced to almost clerical role, "Release Manager" | Mar 10 15:21 |
schestowitz-TR2 | he does not pay a big role in decisions | Mar 10 15:21 |
schestowitz-TR2 | things like rust are for gulag and its proxy groups to make | Mar 10 15:21 |
schestowitz-TR2 | LT just signs off | Mar 10 15:21 |
Techrights-sec | Nope. That was a reason for their deposing him. | Mar 10 15:22 |
Techrights-sec | Rubberstamp mostly, if things are as they look. | Mar 10 15:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I keep forgetting (should memorise this) the proxy group created to paint rust as a "security" thing | Mar 10 15:23 |
schestowitz-TR2 | as nobody would oppose security, esp. not when media portrays even local priv escalation | Mar 10 15:24 |
schestowitz-TR2 | like the equivalent of Windows botnets | Mar 10 15:24 |
Techrights-sec | "security" has been the go-to excuse of microsofters, especially when they | Mar 10 15:24 |
Techrights-sec | do a search-and-destroy campaign against non-M$ software from the desktops | Mar 10 15:24 |
Techrights-sec | of work environments. | Mar 10 15:24 |

Techrights-sec | gemini has not been updating since many hours ago. Trying manually for a | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | second time. The first manual attempt failed with "Could not find feed at URL: "http://techrights.org/feed/" | Mar 10 19:21 |
schestowitz-TR2 | i have just changed trafffic shaping mode to make it easier to complete | Mar 10 19:21 |
schestowitz-TR2 | do you have video topic suggestions? (I might as well ask) | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | thanks | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | not at the moment, there was a video link yesterday about software | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | patents in the 3D community. It was long but it is full of mistakes and | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | misframings, so might provide fodder for a long time. | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | There was another one by Braxman which was very well done and showed a rather | Mar 10 19:21 |
Techrights-sec | thorough understanding of copyright, software freedom, and licensing, but | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | he appeared to intentionally misuse terminology. Perhaps that was to reach | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | a different audience. | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | The M$ clown show, OSI, can be observed in action these days. Similar | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | astroturfers and their catspaws are still trying to derail the FSF. | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | .. as seen on the LibrePlanet list among other places. | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | The braxman one is really quite good if one listens to the definitions he | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | expands on. Therefore I think he has misapplied the terminology intentionally | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | but not out of malice. | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | no need to address either directly but the can be used to find point to address | Mar 10 19:22 |
Techrights-sec | indpendently | Mar 10 19:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I will check the links, which I saw in passing | Mar 10 19:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | doing a video bout a video is VERY difficult | Mar 10 19:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I think I do not even need to explain why :-D | Mar 10 19:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | Evern doing an article about a video is hard, unless the video is split into | Mar 10 19:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | many tiny portions | Mar 10 19:22 |
schestowitz-TR2 | btw, do you use gemini to keep abrast of posts in irc? | Mar 10 19:22 |

*Techrights-sec (~quassel@joseon-qt7udd.am6e.nqgd.t29qgt.IP) has joined #boycottnovell | Mar 10 19:29 | |
Techrights-sec | I try to use it for that | Mar 10 19:32 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I am linking to gemini more often now, building the "planet" little by little to see what | Mar 10 19:33 |
schestowitz-TR2 | capsulkes I like and update habitually | Mar 10 19:33 |
Techrights-sec | mostly I wait for the logs | Mar 10 19:34 |
schestowitz-TR2 | iurc was a massively important investment for us | Mar 10 19:35 |
schestowitz-TR2 | if you look aroiund at blogs, esp. patent and linux ones, they barely get comments anymore | Mar 10 19:35 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and social contreol media no longer makes up for it | Mar 10 19:35 |
schestowitz-TR2 | those are dead ends and make it hard to have meaningful conversations due to delays and UI shittiness | Mar 10 19:35 |
Techrights-sec | yes, people realize the others had turned to shilling | Mar 10 19:36 |
Techrights-sec | the readers fully abandoned them at that point | Mar 10 19:36 |
Techrights-sec | it looks like the patent lobby is putting in a minimal investment in say-for-pay | Mar 10 19:36 |
Techrights-sec | articles without expectation of wide promulgation or readership | Mar 10 19:36 |
schestowitz-TR2 | yesk, that is another important factor | Mar 10 19:37 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I recalled last week | Mar 10 19:37 |
schestowitz-TR2 | when you publish a lonf piece and expect less thaqn 100 people to see it | Mar 10 19:37 |
schestowitz-TR2 | you would barely even bother | Mar 10 19:37 |
Techrights-sec | They probably do not reach even that many nowadays. | Mar 10 19:38 |
Techrights-sec | I'm not quite sure the purpose those servce anymore, maybe just placeholders/ | Mar 10 19:38 |
Techrights-sec | ? | Mar 10 19:38 |
schestowitz-TR2 | yesk, that is another important factor | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I recalled last week | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | when you publish a lonf piece and expect less thaqn 100 people to see it | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | you would barely even bother | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | go now to linux.com | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | http/https | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | click on any of the latest stories | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | see the eye at top right | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | refresh page | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | so no, it's not even a low count due to caching | Mar 10 19:39 |
schestowitz-TR2 | pathetic! | Mar 10 19:39 |
Techrights-sec | Unappealing titles there. | Mar 10 19:40 |
Techrights-sec | one has some shilling for the anti-foss entity snyk | Mar 10 19:40 |
schestowitz-TR2 | yes, I mentioned them by nmame re "security" "census" or whatever they called it | Mar 10 19:42 |
schestowitz-TR2 | OSI did one recently | Mar 10 19:42 |
schestowitz-TR2 | then LF | Mar 10 19:42 |

schestowitz-TR2 | cheaply-produced utter junk | Mar 10 19:42 |
schestowitz-TR2 | someone in lxer.com commented on it | Mar 10 19:42 |
schestowitz-TR2 | *foreword | Mar 10 19:43 |
Techrights-sec | not worth the time it took to skim through it :( | Mar 10 19:43 |
Techrights-sec | Yes, there is not really any content in the Linux.com "articles" they look | Mar 10 19:44 |
Techrights-sec | like corporate filler. | Mar 10 19:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they hardly even get their money's or time's worth off it anymore | Mar 10 19:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | let's now assume the people who now run something foundatiion care | Mar 10 19:47 |
schestowitz-TR2 | for that something | Mar 10 19:47 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I recently did an animated meme of zemlin with gates foundation on him | Mar 10 19:47 |
schestowitz-TR2 | saying go away, linux users | Mar 10 19:47 |
schestowitz-TR2 | to them, we are the econoy, microsoft is the friend | Mar 10 19:47 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they only count what smells like cash | Mar 10 19:47 |
Techrights-sec | Which is stupid since they could be doing great things with the site in regards | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | to advancing the kernel. However, the LF has changed goals and is about | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | representing corporate interests within the kernel and not only fails to | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | advance or promote the kernel but actively harms it. | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | Yes they promote even hostile interests within the kernel, instead of advancing | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | the kernel or promoting it to the corporate world. | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | short term cash with strings attached instead of boatloads of cash from | Mar 10 19:49 |
Techrights-sec | independence. | Mar 10 19:49 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they never ever respond to FUD against Linux | Mar 10 19:50 |
schestowitz-TR2 | or patent threats against it | Mar 10 19:50 |
schestowitz-TR2 | BUT WAIT | Mar 10 19:50 |
schestowitz-TR2 | Worst yet: they promote NON-Linux kernekls | Mar 10 19:50 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and perlow wrote a blog post, a long one, to justify this! | Mar 10 19:50 |
schestowitz-TR2 | based on the cimin, the heckler/troll in irc todqay and last night | Mar 10 19:55 |

schestowitz-TR2 | with thwe anti-RMS lobby | Mar 10 19:55 |
schestowitz-TR2 | for the lols I opened tfir at gulagtube, seeing video from 7 days ago with 14 views | Mar 10 19:55 |
schestowitz-TR2 | go "swap" | Mar 10 19:55 |
schestowitz-TR2 | BBB | Mar 10 19:55 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I meant "the Linux Gamer" | Mar 10 19:55 |
schestowitz-TR2 | who now shills Windows too | Mar 10 19:55 |
Techrights-sec | Games? | Mar 10 19:56 |
Techrights-sec | Waste of time. | Mar 10 19:56 |
Techrights-sec | Which games? | Mar 10 19:56 |
Techrights-sec | Has he sold out recently? He was quite good until a few weeks ago and then | Mar 10 19:56 |
Techrights-sec | suddenly he was pushing Windows and not making appealing videos any more. | Mar 10 19:56 |
Techrights-sec | He did quite mysteriously acquire a whole building... | Mar 10 19:56 |
schestowitz-TR2 | not only that; like micro larabel he foolishly bragged about it | Mar 10 19:57 |
schestowitz-TR2 | based on thje timing of the troll in irc | Mar 10 19:57 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I reckon it might be him | Mar 10 19:57 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but I cannot prove it | Mar 10 19:57 |
Techrights-sec | It'd be hard to prove. | Mar 10 19:57 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but doable | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | not easy | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | takes time | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | not privacy-respecting | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | the irc logs and mibbit suffix show ip | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | i think he is based near maine | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I do not want to check | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | it is n ot honourablea | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and he was being evasive | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | reminds me of mister wsl, sho still wrote to me in twitter | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | to shill wsl even though he quit working on it | Mar 10 19:59 |
schestowitz-TR2 | he used to come to our irc channels with mysterious names | Mar 10 19:59 |
