[08:09] schestowitz Please extend my warmest regards to anyone who helped put together this very well-researched piece. I could not have done better work myself! [08:15] schestowitz the frequency or the intensity of attacks went down yesterday afternoon, but that can always change at short notice. It was esp. bad yesterday morning.

[08:44] Techrights-sec We'll see if that make them sensitive enough. [08:44] Techrights-sec However, automated blocking would help, and most methods for that depend [08:44] Techrights-sec on an OS upgrade [08:59] *MinceR (mincer@unaffiliated/mincer) has joined #boycottnovell ● Apr 13 [10:07] Techrights-sec https://nitter.cc/AusHumanRights/status/1381825115428585477#m\ [10:07] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.cc | Australian Human Rights Commission (@AusHumanRights): "Listen to Human Rights Commissioner @esantow talk about why Human Rights matter in the brave new world of #AI. #TechRights" | nitter [10:07] Techrights-sec https://nitter.cc/AdrienneGT/status/1380986286320812037#m [10:07] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.cc | Adrienne G.

I'pve reduced the timeout on the monitoring scripts here. [13:00] Techrights-sec Nothing triggered them of late, yet. [13:01] schestowitz lack of success discourage future attack attempts [13:01] Techrights-sec We can hope. [13:02] schestowitz Is it worth reaching out to Varghese to confront him? Hopeless cause? [13:03] Techrights-sec I'm not sure. It might depend on phrasing but I have no idea how he has [13:03] Techrights-sec arranged to be misinformed. The channels of disinformation / misinformation [13:03] Techrights-sec matter in this case. [13:03] schestowitz OK, we will just focus on reproducing the fact checker for now, they urge me to do so and it's CC. [13:04] Techrights-sec (assuming his is misinformed and not actively spreading disinformation only [13:04] Techrights-sec misinformantion ... for now) [13:04] Techrights-sec The fact checker has helped a lot of people get straightened out on the topic. [13:07] Techrights-sec As you know there are several layers of lies, each layer more bold than [13:07] Techrights-sec the previous and many otherwise smart people are only looking at the [13:07] Techrights-sec top, most extreme layer of lies before making their mind up and [13:07] Techrights-sec digging in stubbornly / smuggly. [13:07] Techrights-sec s/gg/g/; [13:07] schestowitz I will repost some old video I made with RMS. Need to decide which... [13:10] Techrights-sec In some ways there are a lot of similiarities to the attacks against JA [13:10] Techrights-sec as against RMS. [13:10] Techrights-sec And in the whole JA saga, Ola Bini has gotten lost.

Most new Web site redesigns end up with [13:58] Techrights-sec completely unusuable garabge and the recent loss of the ADA in the Winn-Dixie [13:58] Techrights-sec case means that there is a disinecentive to beat down broken sites and fix [13:58] Techrights-sec them. The web, strangely, is the only place that marketing goes out of the [13:58] Techrights-sec way to tell mant potential customers to fuck off. In the old days, they [13:58] Techrights-sec used to scramble to increase market share by even a percent. Now [13:58] Techrights-sec they happily tell whole swathes of the populace to fuck off. ● Apr 13 [17:13] Techrights-sec https://nitter.cc/ubuntourist/status/1381979469926256644#m [17:13] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.cc | The Ubuntourist (@ubuntourist): "Though I don't find it particularly coherent, some of the story (with bias) can be found at: http://techrights.org/2021/01/20/fsf-secrecy/" | nitter
