| schestowitz-pi | it looks like yesterday we published about 600-700 links, likely all-time high | Feb 16 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-pi | and I'm still merely adapting | Feb 16 01:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | i initially planned to do some articles and videos, but none was truly urgent | Feb 16 01:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | still to come: major EPO leaks (zoobab/ffii), pensiongate, more on github | Feb 16 01:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | it'll be a productive year for syre | Feb 16 01:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | *sure | Feb 16 01:01 |
| techrights[sec] | quality and relevance are better than quantity with the link curation | Feb 16 01:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | yes, this is the objective | Feb 16 01:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | it also gets clustered and organised | Feb 16 02:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | in tuxmachines we have a sort of growing 'library' of coverage for key events | Feb 16 02:00 |
| techrights[sec] | Event coverage is important even if m$ has been attacking events for years now | Feb 16 02:02 |
| techrights[sec] | via the event organizers and funders. | Feb 16 02:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | i still find time to add some "Ed"itorial comments where needed | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | on patents, FOSS etc. | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | as that helps contextualise | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | but all in all, i think Daily Links will become a lot more extensive in the post-quiterss era | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | rianne still uses quiterss and covers the core issues very quickly | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | when I'm asleep | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | usually 6-midnight | Feb 16 02:04 |
| techrights[sec] | What does she find most advantageous about QuiteRSS? | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | probably habits | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | she still uses thunderbird for rss too | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | but not much | Feb 16 02:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | mozilla ruined that | Feb 16 02:04 |
| techrights[sec] | I wish Thunderbird had focused on mail processing instead of chasing everything | Feb 16 02:08 |
| techrights[sec] | except mail processing. | Feb 16 02:08 |
| techrights[sec] | I haven't checked but I suppose it has a music player built in by now :/ | Feb 16 02:08 |
| schestowitz-pi | no, they already killed almost every useful extension for thunderbird | Feb 16 02:09 |
| schestowitz-pi | i stopped caring, as I don't use it much anymore | Feb 16 02:09 |
| schestowitz-pi | just out of need | Feb 16 02:09 |
| schestowitz-pi | but they sucked the fun out of it | Feb 16 02:09 |
| techrights[sec] | It's still not got a replacement, though Google as all but banned access. | Feb 16 02:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | i reckon email will get used less over time | Feb 16 02:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | same for snail mail/post | Feb 16 02:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | so just like knode, it'll go away when the protocol dies | Feb 16 02:26 |
| techrights[sec] | E-mail, as it was back pre-spam, and certainly pre-embedded HTML is still | Feb 16 02:29 |
| techrights[sec] | exceptionally useful. But that is why GAFAM and various supporting agencies | Feb 16 02:29 |
| techrights[sec] | aim to kill it. The mail protocols are all but dead. M$ has carved out its | Feb 16 02:29 |
| techrights[sec] | market and Google has carved out its market and both appear to use proprietary | Feb 16 02:29 |
| techrights[sec] | protocols internally and broken variants of standard protocols on the times | Feb 16 02:29 |
| techrights[sec] | they deign to communicate externally. | Feb 16 02:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | if they take the advice/choice of Mr. Kink "Google is Your Friend" | Feb 16 02:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | then dark times ahead | Feb 16 02:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | turns out other senior colleagues really disliked that | Feb 16 02:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | and left | Feb 16 02:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | thankfully, however, I'm no longer part of "the [or this] system" | Feb 16 02:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | so I get to watch from afar | Feb 16 02:30 |
| techrights[sec] | https://web.archive.org/web/20041231030825/http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0%2C1283%2C5060%2C00.html | Feb 16 02:47 |
| techrights[sec] | The original has been erased / hidden by Conde Nast | Feb 16 02:47 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-web.archive.org | Wired News: Spamming Lawyer Disbarred | Feb 16 02:47 | |
| schestowitz-pi | conde nast has a business model | Feb 16 02:48 |
| schestowitz-pi | it's not journalism | Feb 16 02:48 |
| techrights[sec] | :( | Feb 16 02:54 |
| schestowitz-pi | blunt | Feb 16 02:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | but afaik true | Feb 16 02:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | see also News Corp. | Feb 16 02:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | thankfully, they too have many layoffs | Feb 16 02:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | turns out even the hate and disinformation business cannot thrive in times like these | Feb 16 02:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | first layer of credibility is trust and reputation | Feb 16 02:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | News Corp did not have that | Feb 16 02:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | but compensating by pandering to very bad people worked for a while | Feb 16 02:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | as for conde nast, it did many "bill sez"-type 'journalism' | Feb 16 02:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | and also attacked RMS and LT a lot | Feb 16 02:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | so f* them!! | Feb 16 02:57 |
| techrights[sec] | News Corporation went under abuot a decade ago. | Feb 16 02:57 |
| techrights[sec] | It was Rupert Murdoch | Feb 16 02:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | you mean LT? RMS? I remember the timeline roughly and can comment from memory | Feb 16 02:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | tuxmachines also had them catalogued chronologically | Feb 16 02:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | i kept telling rianne it would come in handy later on | Feb 16 02:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | btw, tangentially related: | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | zdnet and techrepublic reduced editor time to 1 or 2 timesd a week | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | you can see the publication patterns | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | cnet is already run by seo bots | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | spamfarm with some hey hi mildly "edited" by some actual person | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | watch the contents of their rss feed if you don't believe me | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | same company, same cms as zdnet et al | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | they are cashing in before going stale or offline | Feb 16 03:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | used to have download.com | Feb 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz-pi | in the 1990s boon era | Feb 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz-pi | and news.com | Feb 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz-pi | 1) publishers come and go all the time (remember Linux Journal?) | Feb 16 03:08 |
| schestowitz-pi | 2) people come and go (remember bully de blanc?) | Feb 16 03:08 |
| schestowitz-pi | 3) companies rise and fall (novell?) | Feb 16 03:08 |
| schestowitz-pi | EPO is falling BTW, you need to see internal and external comments about them. I view UPC as an effort | Feb 16 03:08 |
| schestowitz-pi | to ram down INVALID patens down our throats, 'judge' Grabinski colluding with Team Battistelli/Campinos | Feb 16 03:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | SPOT ON: "In late 2021 Facebook rebranded as Meta during a recorded event in which they tried convincing us that the metaverse was the future of our lives and that they were going to be at the center of it. Now, nearly a year and a half later, the word "metaverse" is little more than a meme." gemini://moddedbear.xyz/logs/2023-02-15-is-ai-this-years-metaverse.gmi | Feb 16 03:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | "So here we are today. ChatGPT has had an explosion of interest unlike anything before and companies are racing each other to be the first to capitalize on it. Notably, both Microsoft and Google are rolling AI chat bots into their search engines. Microsoft already has a public early access version available." gemini://moddedbear.xyz/logs/2023-02-15-is-ai-this-years-metaverse.gmi | Feb 16 03:20 |
| techrights[sec] | │ | Feb 16 03:20 |
| techrights[sec] | I stopped following CNET a long while ago for that reason, it is painfully │ | Feb 16 03:20 |
| techrights[sec] | obvious about the lack of quality. | Feb 16 03:20 |
| schestowitz-pi | afaik, zdnet is still composed by human beings | Feb 16 03:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | but poorly | Feb 16 03:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | some is "dressed up" press releases | Feb 16 03:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | meanwhile, techrepublic is another story | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | aside from microsoft moles like mary and simon | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | it has diploma mill spam | Feb 16 03:25 |
| techrights[sec] | They churn out only filler these days and it's fooling fewer and fewer people. | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | sponsored "white papers' | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | and last week another new form of spam | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | i saw an "openRAN" spam piece | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | they are clealy sablling and exploring | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | cnet is a mix of seo, spam, and CG (not HEY HI) "content" | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | it'll fail badly | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | gulag will stop givcing them googlejuice in the name of relevance | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | and penalise that domain | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | cnet would even spam football games, upcoming football matches, knowing | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | many would search for streams. cnet was a TECH site | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | engadget became spam partner of microsoft, so i started passing over it completely | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | engadget also started posting more and more 'shopping spam' (long yahoo urls with referrer tokens) | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | disguised as "articles", "best", and "deals" | Feb 16 03:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | f* this shit, the wwww is a mess!! | Feb 16 03:25 |
| techrights[sec] | I had been ignoring Egadget too, also for quality reasons | Feb 16 03:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | The Register is an odd one | Feb 16 03:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | I added the rss feeds for only 2 authors | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | they became less active | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | after some initial flurry of postings | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | sjvn started his own site, AGAIN | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | maybe 4th time | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | and it loses momentum already | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | they think stuff like Google+ and Twitter followers are an RSS feed | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | rant: rianne on and on for hours with siste on mumble | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | talking about youtueb "subscribers" and FB "fans" or whatever they call it | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | they mistake some privatised social control media sites foer popuilarity | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | so i had to budg in several times to correct | Feb 16 03:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | *budge | Feb 16 03:30 |

| schestowitz-pi | not counting long-term harms, which are partly unknown for now (no long-term studies yet) | Feb 16 05:06 |

| schestowitz-pi | stop shaming people into getting infected and reinfected | Feb 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | boosters tested on mice are of questionable quality | Feb 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | yesterday I studied UK suicide figures | Feb 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | an increase in suicide per week barely 50 per week | Feb 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | so a surplus in deaths (2000-3000 per week) is not due to suicides | Feb 16 05:06 |
