| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> Wow! MIT "technologyreview" now works with banksters on propaganda and spam mills. Terrible. technologyreview is dead; it does the same with Microsoft.

| schestowitz-pi2 | rms ddg e-mail: no response yet, i will press agaiu if needed | Mar 11 04:25 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | fsf cannot just pretend that ddg is not a problem | Mar 11 04:25 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and even say it's ok to use that | Mar 11 04:25 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | rms is giving a talk in 6 or 5 days | Mar 11 04:25 |
| techrights[sec] | An equally big problem as the DDG scene is that the FSF is not involved | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | in the so-caled "cybersecurity" negotiations going on around the world at | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | the moment. Maybe the experts are keeping a low profile but none have | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | blogged about it and all indications are that it is a festival for lobbyists | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | from trash firms with terrible track records on quality and security. | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | It seems that they are doubling down on back doors and don't give a rat's asshole that beligerants have no prob | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | lem getting in as long as they themselve can | Mar 11 04:38 |
| techrights[sec] | get in easily. | Mar 11 04:38 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it is framed like back doors are NEEDED for national security | Mar 11 04:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | of course it was pointed out sooner or later everyone can leevrage back doors | Mar 11 04:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | anyway, fsf needs to be more vocal | Mar 11 04:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | their blog is mostly, come on [date] to librea.chat to talk about some stuff | Mar 11 04:39 |
| techrights[sec] | Yes, see CALEA and CALEA2, both of which legislate backdoors. The matter | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | however is that these mandate backdoors for anyone, anywhere to get in not | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | just "the good guys". | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | There are a lot of laws in the works around the world which will effectively | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | ban use of FOSS in practice anywhere and in all contexts. | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | CoCs help set that up. | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | by paralyzng the communities and tearing down any one who might stand up | Mar 11 04:42 |
| techrights[sec] | for FOSS in the negotiations. | Mar 11 04:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | can't be "rude" to people who do terrible things | Mar 11 04:42 |

| techrights[sec] | It is "rude" to even object to the terrible things in the first place. CoC blocked | Mar 11 04:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | highlighting the danger of censorship of critics is a CoC violation | Mar 11 04:47 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | linux.... MICROSOFT. YAY, NEWS! | Mar 11 05:01 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | microsofters learned to like phoronix and send traffic to it | Mar 11 05:01 |
| techrights[sec] | yes he sold out as we've commented for a while | Mar 11 05:01 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | again, i did not even click, i just see this in Kate, but I did also see some "linux" | Mar 11 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | sections in microsoft sites covering the same | Mar 11 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | phoronix helps them with some benchmarks that say Linux is slow | Mar 11 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they link to those | Mar 11 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe he just writes for traffic's sake, but | Mar 11 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 1) what aboutt principles | Mar 11 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2) at what overall cost? | Mar 11 05:03 |
| techrights[sec] | I don't click on Phronix links any more, not even once since he sold out to m$ | Mar 11 05:06 |
| techrights[sec] | Probably | Mar 11 05:06 |
| techrights[sec] | microsofters don't care about how phoronix ends or when it ends, just that | Mar 11 05:06 |
| techrights[sec] | it can be exploited for their own goals for a while | Mar 11 05:06 |
| techrights[sec] | BTW cURL is having an even on "Zoom" instead of BigBlueButton | Mar 11 05:06 |

| techrights[sec] | I have noticed that in his blogs; | Mar 11 05:08 |
| techrights[sec] | Few get FOSS. If you saw the panel discussion hosted by Rossmann the other day | Mar 11 05:09 |
| techrights[sec] | there was no clue until the last few seconds of the video and rather than | Mar 11 05:09 |
| techrights[sec] | exploring that, they ended the video. Nearly 100% of the population is in the | Mar 11 05:09 |
| techrights[sec] | 1980s mind set of "selling" software. | Mar 11 05:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | brb protein | Mar 11 05:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | very interesting discussion btw | Mar 11 05:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not many sites are left that speak the language of community and of SF in general | Mar 11 05:20 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not that there were many such sites before | Mar 11 05:20 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but now veyr few are left and they are barely active | Mar 11 05:20 |
| techrights[sec] | Futhermore, several high visibility institutions have done 180-degree turns | Mar 11 05:20 |
| techrights[sec] | and now actively or passively work against their own interests. LF, EFF, FSF, | Mar 11 05:20 |
| techrights[sec] | FSFE, etc | Mar 11 05:20 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | rms seems to be belittling microsoft now | Mar 11 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and his logic is flawed | Mar 11 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | because he misses the point that general-purpose computers | Mar 11 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | now move towards sobstrucitng bsd and gnu/linux from even bootstrapping | Mar 11 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | yet he thinks google and apple are an equal cause for concern | Mar 11 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i never heard of google phoning an employer to get a "google hater" fired | Mar 11 05:21 |
| techrights[sec] | M$ does operate like a mafia or cult and even after all these decades he seems | Mar 11 05:22 |
| techrights[sec] | to not want to notice that. | Mar 11 05:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i hope he will listen and respond regarding DDG | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it would be disturbing if his stance was an evasion | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and that in its own right would be worth reporting | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but first he needs to explain why he uses it | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i assume he does not understand what he is using | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and microsoft^H^HDG has bribed enoug orgs to condition | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | him to trust it | Mar 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <schestowitz[TR]> I asked RMS about DDG and tolds him what DDG really is | Mar 11 05:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <schestowitz[TR]> he has not responded yet | Mar 11 05:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <schestowitz[TR]> people who use X hate to admit using X was a bad idea all along | Mar 11 05:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <schestowitz[TR]> and would go rather far to try to justify the self-harming practice | Mar 11 05:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <schestowitz[TR]> "I didn't have condition Y before these vaccines, but many people took these vaccines and the government strongly recommended them, so there cannot possible be a connection/correlation. It must be just me, the media doesn't talk about it.." | Mar 11 05:29 |
| techrights[sec] | It's a human weakness that most people succumb to, in that they dig in their | Mar 11 05:31 |
| techrights[sec] | heels rather than change their viewpoint. That is why propaganda and disinformation is so effective. Whatever | Mar 11 05:31 |

| techrights[sec] | The CoC is doing its intended job. :( | Mar 11 12:13 |
| techrights[sec] | It ensures minimal participation and selects the political alliegance of those | Mar 11 12:13 |
| techrights[sec] | it does allow to participate. | Mar 11 12:13 |
| techrights[sec] | There's a world of difference. | Mar 11 12:13 |
| techrights[sec] | A CoC-blocked project is inevitably going on life support unless taken over | Mar 11 12:13 |
| techrights[sec] | and fully controlled by a corporate sponsor | Mar 11 12:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the strawman, namecalling, diversion tactis is: | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | consistently potray any antaginism to a CoC as right-wing bigotry | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and a "safety" issue | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in reality, it's about controlling the debate and selecting which volunteers to 'fire' | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | based on apachetop a lot of people read irc logs | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i reckon they focus on particular things in the or find them via searchers | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | when so many sites are dead or webspam i can imagine the logs do come up | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in results | Mar 11 12:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | older irc logs, circa 2014-2018 (twitter KILLS API first time aroiund) | Mar 11 12:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | contain archives of many important tweets, inc. snowden, wikileaks.. | Mar 11 12:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i nowadays use them also to archive important comments | Mar 11 12:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | knowing they will be as recoverable as groklaw comments in a few years | Mar 11 12:17 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | then i go through yesterday's news | Mar 11 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this pevents me stepping over rianne's toes with overlapping stories (dupes) | Mar 11 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and also helps ensure you see the other stories before me | Mar 11 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i need to make a hard "break" - a slot in which to work on articles/videos | Mar 11 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but am still adapting and also weeding out some obviously bad rss feeds | Mar 11 12:49 |
