| schestowitz-TR | cause known? | Nov 12 07:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, did you follow the link I posted to my blog last night? | Nov 12 07:09 |
| Techrightssec | no | Nov 12 07:09 |
| Techrightssec | no, why? | Nov 12 07:09 |
| Techrightssec | just checked , many heart attacks | Nov 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just in the uk | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | some countries speak about it formally | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | the countries, not some random MP whom people try to paint as antivax | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I told rianen last night that the psychology of it is complicated | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | as many of those other MPs took the boosters too | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | they would rather shoe away the messenger | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | than consider the possibility laid forth | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | he correctly points out that the boosters were only tested on animals | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | they leapfrogged the traditional protocols, to put it mildly, an understatement | Nov 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and people were righly suspicious of the speed | Nov 12 07:16 |
| Techrightssec | ack | Nov 12 07:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | these protocols exist as a response to past blunders | Nov 12 07:51 |
| Techrightssec | it looks like a lesson about to be relearned the hard wauy | Nov 12 07:58 |

| Techrightssec | yes that was one of several | Nov 12 08:02 |
| Techrightssec | this one is much larger in scope :( | Nov 12 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | my friend might die soon | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | he beat me in Mr. Fitness competition a couple of times | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | now his heart is considered defective and there is no cure | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they attribute this to his intensive rowing | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is one of two friends whose knees swelled after the first/second jab | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | and whose doctors (it was that severe) said it had become very common | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | both attribute this to the jab, one of prof. in medical field, the other has 3 masters degrees and | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | is an athlete | Nov 12 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | gaslighting in the media makes sense when you consider who pays that media (e.g. gaurdian, billbc) | Nov 12 08:06 |
| Techrightssec | that's a tragedy | Nov 12 08:07 |
| Techrightssec | yes the media is paid indirectly through the purchase of the doses, if | Nov 12 08:07 |
| Techrightssec | you think about it a bit. it's 20 - 30 EUR per dose or something like | Nov 12 08:07 |
| Techrightssec | that and if the company is only thinking 1) itself and 2) a few weeks at a time | Nov 12 08:07 |
| Techrightssec | into the future, then it "makes sense" to push out something unhealth or even | Nov 12 08:07 |
| Techrightssec | damaging and then use social control media to stigmatize all non-praise | Nov 12 08:07 |
| Techrightssec | using similar tactics as m$ uses | Nov 12 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot the name of that 'singer' | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | who was suspended by twitter | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | for just mentioning what happened to her cousin in trinidad (IIRC) | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | because she had many followe | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | nicki minaj? | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | *followers | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it's perfectly obvious that not only GSK paid twitter for ads (seen many of them in 2020) | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | Bill and Lolita gates Foundation infested my timeline a lot | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the money came | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and censorship followed | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I didn't say anything not subtantiated or well sourced | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that does not matter | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was "disruptive" to the relationship with some clients (advertisers) of Twitter | Nov 12 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | -- | Nov 12 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | social control media is something that gets IN BETWEEN people | Nov 12 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | in that videoi I shared last night the MP (Sir something) explains than every "mainstream | Nov 12 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | media" bias does not help because people talk to one another and the gov. cannot control that | Nov 12 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | anf thus confidence in the gov, media and medical profession will wane | Nov 12 08:13 |
| Techrightssec | yep. one possible side effect of a full implosion of twitter would be | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | that such tight censorship becomes once again difficult to achieve. | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | yes, way to many a-hole /want/ to believe that social control media is | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | a raw communications medium and parrot statements to that effect, | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | when it is a strong filter in reality. sadly it seems that a lot of top | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | politicians are the worst affected by their delusion. | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | confidence also wanes because there are fewer competent people as a long term | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | fall out effect from the bologne agreement. :( :( | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | business has basic been a game of LARP for decades and now that is spilling | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | over into the rest of society | Nov 12 08:15 |
| Techrightssec | facts can be overruled by loud opinions | Nov 12 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, as noted in irc moments ago, a source told me friedman was involved in ftx | Nov 12 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | professionally, not ass client | Nov 12 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but this isn't notable at this time | Nov 12 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of stupidity, vanity, and fools who listen to musk "tweets" | Nov 12 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | bought into those "trading" platforms | Nov 12 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | many lost nearly everything, those who ended up on top include Sheela Microsoft (Bakkt) | Nov 12 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | [on bit of a tangent] | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | that is why i ended up rather cynical and I keep telling people that BY DAULT | Nov 12 08:24 |

| schestowitz-TR | Kirk Wiebe said 90% of Americans were polled as saying that cheating and 'embellishing' is OK | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | to get ahead | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bit of that 'fake it till you make it' psyche | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the same is true here, with job titles, salaries, homes (owned by banks, backed by money that DOES NOT EXIST | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | even in the banks!!) | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the sooner you realise what's going on, the easier it gets to brush off "social constructs" | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | (or corporater consptrusts such as "intelectual property") | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | set aside stupid gimmicks like clown, smart, iot etc. | Nov 12 08:24 |
| Techrightssec | Yes, that is such a tragic cultural shift. The US has been NewYorkified | Nov 12 08:24 |
| Techrightssec | Yep, fraud all the way down. | Nov 12 08:24 |
| Techrightssec | ack | Nov 12 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | is that really a new york thing or going by canards or steretypes? | Nov 12 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am curious as I saw the same among Italians and East Asians | Nov 12 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe we're just better familiarised with anglo-saxon-franco variants of that | Nov 12 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have a friend from malaysia who built his whole social life on lies | Nov 12 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | a male nurse who since his early 20s said he was a heart surgeon | Nov 12 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and walks away if you ask the "right" questions | Nov 12 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | he lies about many other things, which built upon this fakeness | Nov 12 08:27 |
| Techrightssec | hard to say, it is definitely the stereotype going back to the 1800s | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | however, it seems to be cultivated and praised in movies the last few decades | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | as well as tv shows. so with that kind of encouragement, it spreads to the | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | rest of society. "I'm not really a waiter|busboy|taxidriver, | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | I'm really an actor|singer|dancer|politician|etc" | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | Maybe there's also some overlap with the propaganda that gets much of the | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | public to vote as if they themselves were in the 1% most wealthy and that | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | have an obligation to screw over the rest for further personal gain. | Nov 12 08:38 |

| Techrightssec | just watch some of the interviews with "average" people there, they are | Nov 12 08:38 |
| Techrightssec | glad that they themselves cannot afford health care, not even dental, if | Nov 12 08:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | done | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, the cynicism is justified | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) people claiming to be something they are not | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) success stories not even being profitable (necessarily) | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) the gov. or nations run like cliques, with "formalities" like job criteria | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | when in reality it often boils down to nepotism, e.g. EPO and places I've worked | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | (3) is a threat to the diploma bubble, as people are led to think displomas rather | Nov 12 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | than "nmetworking" will assure them "success" | Nov 12 09:18 |
| Techrightssec | ack | Nov 12 09:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | not sure if you saw it, but this morn I republished a new video of rms on anony payments | Nov 12 09:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | he explains how that relates to freedom, e.g. abortion in the us | Nov 12 09:41 |
| Techrightssec | I saw the post on RMS but not the video itself. | Nov 12 09:41 |
| Techrightssec | Interestingly I was just looking at GNU Taler again the other day. | Nov 12 09:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | for things we cannot pay for with cash as there is no hand-to-hand contact | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually due to distance | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the first question to ask is, do they need to know who I am? | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | e.g. plane passenger, football spectator | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, what is there to lose? | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I pay the webhost witH, and my domain is easy to link to the - gasp - host | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | then paying with CC might be OK | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need to draw lines in the sand | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and limit how much is known about us and who to | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | email is not secure, esp. when reponding to gmail accounts | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | those accounts aren't just plain text but actively scanned for contents both ways | Nov 12 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | for commercial reasons and more | Nov 12 09:44 |
| Techrightssec | When flying, one has to pay $85 to get even a modicum of the dignity that | Nov 12 09:46 |
| Techrightssec | was afforded travellers prior to Little Bush. It's hard for people to believe | Nov 12 09:46 |
| Techrightssec | now, even if they are old enough to have experienced it, but flyers were once | Nov 12 09:46 |
| Techrightssec | treated as valued customers rather than as captive opponents and criminals | Nov 12 09:46 |
| Techrightssec | Not just scanned, it seems that URLs are followed as well. | Nov 12 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | shorly after microsoft stashed skype in NSA PRISM the H (heise) noted that in "private" chats in skype URLs | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | were not only followed but more was done (I forgot the details; is site still offline? was it | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | brought back permanently after the protests?) | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | the editor of The H pretty much vanished | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I followed his personal blog for a while, but it was never quite functional | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | "morgan" was in the surname iirc | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | fabsh also vanished | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | tried to do podcasting for a while after linuxnews, linux outlaws and The H gig | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | they re-allocated him to cover some windows crapo | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | for heise | Nov 12 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | which he was not happy with | Nov 12 09:49 |

| schestowitz-TR | (This worries me at times; what if TR was OK financially but the mind was not keeping up or | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | not working? Hence diet, sleep, medical care. Schneier has a book coming next year, but he blogs | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | only one liners; he was a lot more active in the past. Doctorow limits himself to an article a day; in | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | sites like boingboing he was very prolific) | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | RMS has something important to say less than once a month | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Lunduke is speaking about Lunduke | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | but hardly ever dealing with any important topic, nor does what's left of "tech media" | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | that last one creates a crisis, as there are no "leads" to follow | Nov 12 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | so not much for blogs or for web forums (of various kinds) to act on | Nov 12 10:06 |
| Techrightssec | ack | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | Moshe Barr wrote in BYTE shortly before it shut down a lot about his new | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | baby, new motorcycle, and various other time-intensive things. Then some | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | months later, he wrote that he was honestly puzzled why he could not code | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | at the levels he used to. The brain changes over time, various events | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | such as births, sicknesses, or other forms of severe hardship and stress | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | affect it. Then there is just plain age. | Nov 12 10:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | (RMS in that latest video obviously reads a script -- albeit probably one he co-wrote himself) | Nov 12 10:09 |
| Techrightssec | Nov 12 10:10 | |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://www.jstor.org/stable/2778031 ) | Nov 12 10:10 | |
| Techrightssec | while reading from the script, does he blink his eyes in any morse message | Nov 12 10:10 |
| Techrightssec | such as "torture" or anything else? ;) | Nov 12 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | /me thinks of that chinese journalist rolling her eyes to the camera | Nov 12 10:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | readinjg previews in jstor | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | rms started gnu at 30 | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | but had already developed a version of emacs | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | so one of those papers debates all that stuff with cherry-picked examples | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure how old timbl was... checking | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | about 35 when he made www | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | about the same as when sagner and wales made wikipedia | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | so a lot of tech innovation of "great impact" (not a reliable yardstick) is done by people in their 30s, not | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | 20s. but either way, keeping at it for a long time and not stagnating is the harder part | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the work has profound impact, it helps | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | rob malda basically became a nobody after selling /. | Nov 12 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and his 'pasrtner in crime' just went to work in Gulag last I checked | Nov 12 10:21 |
| Techrightssec | Malda wanted to try a different career while there was still time. | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | That did not pan out. Nor did Slashdot survive the sale. He was not | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | careful with his selection of buyers for that first sale. Once it was | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | out of his hands it was in the hands of those that had an axe to grind over | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | FOSS, Open Standards, and Open Formats. It only got worse with each sale. | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | SN just lost 10 days worth of posts and comments in yesterday's crash. | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | ncommander aims to hold the site up until 2024, it's tenth anniversary, | Nov 12 10:26 |
| Techrightssec | and if it is not on its feet by then to probably go static-only archive | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | incidents of this severity | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) cost time | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) lowee morale | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) put off readers and/or sponsors | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | thankffully we never suffered any serious data loss | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | ever | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | not something that could not be recovered with some work | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | er.g. from Gulag Cache | Nov 12 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | a long time ago I already realised that much of what I had posted would vanish within years | Nov 12 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | my own web site has had the same url structure and urls for 20+ years | Nov 12 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and nothing gets removed | Nov 12 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | with ipfs things exist as long as something has a copy of them | Nov 12 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the hashes identity the items | Nov 12 10:37 |
| Techrightssec | Things only kind of exist in IPFS. IF they are not easily searchable and are | Nov 12 10:37 |
| Techrightssec | hard to retrieve then they might as well not exist. | Nov 12 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will try to finish all the links and post Daily Links before we leave the house in 2 hours | Nov 12 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | mice should have wires | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | the wires (tails) | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | is why they are called mice | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they work | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I got a new one that I told you about | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | AOC, for a change... | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | so far, so good | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | durable, "gaming", cost about 17 pounds | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | 6 buttons | Nov 12 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | more degrees of freedom -> more things that can and will fail | Nov 12 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | in recent years the mice we bought and used heavily lasted about 3 years | Nov 12 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | many things can ruin a mouse | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually the first is one of: | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | -scrolling sucks/reversed | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | --bad button | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | -laser dies off | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can work around one but it becomes impractical as it builds up | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | "gaming" ones do seem moredurable | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you must change mouse every x years | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they don't build them to last, fall, etc. | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | so without bluetooth they are cheaper | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | (battery costs aside) | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you buy a new one every x years, and it has no bluetooth, you don't end up buying like 3 | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | bluetooth devices every decade | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | earliert today in irc eletric toothbrush and their "heads" were discussed | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just mae a very largew kttle of tea, using only the hob | Nov 12 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | we've quit buying electric kettles, they don't last long | Nov 12 11:01 |

| schestowitz-TR | no bluetooth -> zero interference ;-) | Nov 12 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | "dude, you are interfering with my workflow" | Nov 12 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | you could get 'revenge' with a laser pointer or several | Nov 12 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | --- | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | re aforementioned point about age and productivity | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | in my personal assessment, it's not that I type slower or sleep more or cannot focus | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just that the complexity of multi-tasking increased | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | lessening activity like wasteful social control media has helped | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | but!! | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the same time we have more routines that take up time, such as irc, bulletins, backups, and | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | home chores | Nov 12 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | before xmas I'll try to 'consolidate' some of these to make more times for writing | Nov 12 11:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the workflow is very sub-optimal | Nov 12 11:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. now that circumstances changed a lot | Nov 12 11:11 |
| Techrightssec | Multi-tasking is inherently inefficient and should be avoided | Nov 12 11:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | phone push notifications are like that | Nov 12 11:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) you don't control when they come | Nov 12 11:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) they follow you around (in pocket usually) | Nov 12 11:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) it's 24/7 | Nov 12 11:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | email is OK when left closed (no polling) | Nov 12 11:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne and I use mumble now all the time, but usually muted | Nov 12 11:20 |
