| Techrights-sec | one means of spreading strife | May 11 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | free speech is just a red herring and collateral damage since it gets associated | May 11 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | with illegal activities there; it has gone so far that the term "free speech" | May 11 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | has become a dog whistle for several political leanings who use it to refer | May 11 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | to hate speech and various other problems including already illegal activities | May 11 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to keep driving home that message | May 11 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if that takes years | May 11 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | even just changing vocabularies can help | May 11 09:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | openwashing is one I coined 15 years ago (afaik) | May 11 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a shaming word | May 11 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe OSI will say it's a homophobic term | May 11 09:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | Twitter has, in general, gone well past its peak, even before tryint to cash in (by axing third parties) in 2018 | May 11 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think the HUGE focus on Trump harmed them | May 11 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | they actively promotes pro- and anti-Trump instead of focusing on what users ACTUALLY | May 11 09:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | The current editor is something else | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I remove from RSS due to that | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | after many yearts | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also used to run columns for decent people | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | Ray McGovern was one of them, IIRC | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | in years that followed they kept getting flagged "Russia" and "propaganda" and stuff | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not 100% unthinkable that some funds for them could be traced back to rather | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | dodgy accounts | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know if they published pro-Putin talking points | May 11 12:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if they did, it would not shock me | May 11 12:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are riding the old name/reputation | May 11 12:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | like Cohn at EFF | May 11 12:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | or several people at OSI | May 11 12:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | (or SPLC | May 11 12:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, the acronym) | May 11 12:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I never knew the original SPLC, but was told stories and read about more people leaving | May 11 12:30 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 11 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | a lot of names to keep track of | May 11 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | not a surprise, the SPLC is not really related to its original form except by | May 11 12:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | fwiw, "mint" seems to have lost Whitney Webb | May 11 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | she is mostly doing her own site now | May 11 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | mintpress is reposting scheer/hedges and a lot of the time posts rather inflammatroy palestnian propaganda | May 11 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | which insinuates a stste of israel does not even exist | May 11 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | it got worse over time | May 11 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | I think it is rare to find something good + relevant there these days | May 11 12:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used to skip the most toxic articles there, like I skip seo/webspam in some "linux" sites | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at some stage you send gulagjuice and associate with spammy or very bad sites | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | like linking to breitbart or rt | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | which, if it doesn't harm ranking, can derank you in the eyes of readers | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | mostly by associat[on | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | let me check if scheer post (offshoot of now-defuncy truthdig) has rss feed | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | NOT all sites have RSS feeds anymore | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | or they hide those | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | or don't know what the hell that is | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | even when it exists | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, so they have 7 writers now | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | many of thr old crew at treuthdig | May 11 12:36 |
| schestowitz | maybe replace mint with https://scheerpost.com/feed/ ? | May 11 12:36 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | May 11 12:39 |
| Techrights-sec | some have a feed but accidentally hidden, I rote to a major paper last year | May 11 12:39 |
| Techrights-sec | some have a feed but accidentally hidden, I rote to a major paper last year | May 11 12:39 |
| Techrights-sec | and they responded with the URL to their feed, which is nice because all their | May 11 12:39 |
| Techrights-sec | articles are of good quality even only a few are relevant | May 11 12:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | social control media and Zuck/MusKSA USED to have RSS feeds | May 11 12:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a decade+ ago | May 11 12:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | to gain a "base" | May 11 12:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | but like Gulag, now they hate RSS | May 11 12:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | because it's a competition to them if widely adopted for all sites | May 11 12:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and also threatens their business model | May 11 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | (however sucky those models are) | May 11 12:40 |
| Techrights-sec | ok, checking | May 11 12:40 |
| Techrights-sec | Feeds don't enhance "engagement", aslo known as addictive behaviors | May 11 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | RSS feeds => Inbox zero "OCD" at best | May 11 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | infinite scoll is heroin | May 11 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | infinite scroll = soft (or non) boundaries | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | index/rss reader = hard boundaries, even if you infinitely refresh over and over again, like email | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | not great, but it's like vomiting after drinking too much, rathr than going numb and passing out/dying from OD | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | (possible, but rare) | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | hedges have been bouncing from one burning platfoprm to the next for over a decade | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | just like SJVN | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | those people are the "clown computing" of journalism | May 11 12:45 |
| Techrights-sec | scheerpost is parsable but does not have a concise summary in the body | May 11 12:45 |
| Techrights-sec | it does have a one-line description though | May 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | that should do | May 11 12:46 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | May 11 12:46 |
| Techrights-sec | check git | May 11 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is good that you just commented that out | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | assuming it can improve one day | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is rare because | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | once it goes south it loses the audience | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it lose the potential of recovery | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | that means that orgs can, over time, get better | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they get worse, jump ship | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't sink with it | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot think of an org that recovered | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | with osi it is an avalanche | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | now people complain that even the election process itself is RIGGED | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | not merely technically cracked, defunct | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the very machanism for self-repair has been mismantled by Gulag, ICBM and EpsteinPAC (MSFT) | May 11 12:51 |
| Techrights-sec | applicable name for M$ | May 11 12:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I would not call Microsoft anything other than Microsoft | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | because they spent a fortune demonising people who do that | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, Epstein is a very loaded topic | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | one could call it "the company founded by Jeffrey Epstein's close buddy" (or "enabler") | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it would be off-putting to some audience | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "qanon" straw man helps portray any mention of high-profile pedophiles as | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | crackery | May 11 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | *crankery | May 11 12:54 |
| Techrights-sec | yes the reputation management campaigns have made some movement in associating | May 11 12:55 |
| Techrights-sec | *any* criticism of bill as being unfounded and derived from cranks | May 11 12:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't worry, that won't succeed | May 11 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it serves to remind people of the scandal he wishes people stopped talking about | May 11 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse than a scandal | May 11 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | there should be an indictment, IMHO | May 11 12:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | yes, social conytrol media is lie amplifier | May 11 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it favours liars like Trump | May 11 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and even Putin | May 11 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but with Putin Twitter seems to have kicked off some "special treatment" | May 11 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | they will soon unleash back a Russian candiate for 2024 | May 11 13:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Interesting. Sad that Debian project has been infiltrated to the extent that | May 11 13:26 |
| Techrights-sec | they play that game now. It was clearly in trouble when they acquiesced | May 11 13:26 |
| Techrights-sec | regarding 1 single person's call for systemd. It wasn't even 4th choice IIRC | May 11 13:26 |

| schestowitz-TR | now he does to a former employer, suse | May 11 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | get popcorn | May 11 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe it'll become just as risky to hire people with religious beliefs | May 11 13:58 |

| schestowitz-TR | you don't know how that's going to end up | May 11 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 11 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec | One place I was working for and some not so bright managers that felt cornered | May 11 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec | because of one job candidate. The candidate had gag orders on the previous | May 11 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec | three employers which was discovered when the committee called around. | May 11 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec | The candidate then threatened to sue if she was not hired. I don't know | May 11 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec | how that one turned out as I was leaving at the time. | May 11 14:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | There must be a lot more to the story as it makes little sense on the surface | May 11 14:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was in this situation 3 days ago, so I spoke to Rianne's dad | May 11 14:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he clarified what was going on, given the right questions | May 11 14:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | being asked (regarding a relative) | May 11 14:03 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes it is curious that he is compelled to bring up the subject now, after | May 11 14:05 |
| Techrights-sec | so many years have gone by. | May 11 14:05 |

| schestowitz-TR | as I said, he did the same to fabsh | May 11 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | fabsh was livid a | May 11 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he threatened to take action against me for merely mentioning what Lunduke published | May 11 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then deleted, maybe under a day later | May 11 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then deleted, maybe under a day later | May 11 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | so lunduke might be one of those people with inner fear of germans | May 11 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | (I cannot totally blame him, in irc we have at least 2 people like that) | May 11 14:07 |

| schestowitz-TR | at some stage I shall do a second video about Debian TM action | May 11 14:09 |

| schestowitz-TR | in the meantime I use tuxmachines to amass the material | May 11 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | aterial | May 11 14:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | bottom line is, lunduke adnd libreboot dev are people you should be super-careful inm hiring | May 11 14:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | because you never know how that might end up | May 11 14:12 |
