| schestowitz-TR | the hypothesis that skilled people follow killed people is common sense | Oct 16 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | doing (I guess surveys) work to prove that can help validate the assumptions | Oct 16 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | LOL Bryan Loca doing "Lifetime Subscription" | Oct 16 11:41 |
| techrights-sec | Yes, Bryan is getting weirder and weirder. It'd be ok if he produced some kind | Oct 16 11:43 |
| techrights-sec | of useful content along the way, like he used to, but it's substance-free at | Oct 16 11:43 |
| techrights-sec | this point. | Oct 16 11:43 |
| techrights-sec | Oh, wait, there is something from yesterday: he rips zdnet ... | Oct 16 11:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you mean the cartoon, he rips sjvn in The Register, not MSZDNet | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Lunduke himself is culpable with the "Linux sucks" BS | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | he uploaded another "Linux sucks" video to youtube this year | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | re that zdnet "year of desktop" article, which was actually SJVN in The Register | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | (maybe ZDNet turned down that article!) | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not read it, I filed it low down in "today's leftovers" | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's not unlisted but it won't get much traffic either | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | this morning I saw some decent linux site linking to TM | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure since when... | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | if we post decent picks, people will, in due courts, appreciate it | Oct 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, I see the article you mean now... not the cartoon | Oct 16 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | Yes, I wrote about this subject many times before | Oct 16 12:01 |
| techrights-sec | He provides some good details. | Oct 16 12:06 |
| techrights-sec | s/good/useful/ | Oct 16 12:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | vpn snakeoil is notorious for it | Oct 16 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | but even linux laptop companies do this | Oct 16 12:07 |

| schestowitz-TR | nobody wants to say "vaccines" | Oct 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | nor do I think it's the culprit | Oct 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe peple who recovered from it | Oct 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | afaik, aussie healthcare is not under attack like nhs | Oct 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | so looking across countries one can have a guess at the cause/s | Oct 16 15:16 |

| techrights-sec | NHS is under all kinds of attack, among other methods it is getting defunded | Oct 16 15:18 |
| techrights-sec | and then ridiculed in the press owned by opponenets of the NHS for being | Oct 16 15:18 |
| techrights-sec | underfunded. | Oct 16 15:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | does BillPR disclose that it is funded by COVID-19 profiteer? | Oct 16 15:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | or is this like the phenomenon lunduke ranted about? | Oct 16 15:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | unti l regimes bother to dtusy wth is going on AFTER the waves I'll stay parking | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | john reached the same conclusion as me compltely independently | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on the data | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and asked the same questions | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | then a friend told me about him | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | BillPR and BillBC replaced tech coverage with namecalling ("conspiracy theorist") | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | namecalling is what one does when there's no argument to be made | Oct 16 15:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | australia's pop is not that large | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I don't know their public site well | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought about downloading their data | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | to study, for the most part, excess death by age brackets | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd rather focus on the data here | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I know it better | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and know the language, units, conventions | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | turns out gulagtube recommended that same video to rianne | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | the algo feeds what she watches | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | yet she insists she is in control | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | because she chooses what to merely click on | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | this means that, irrespective of censorship, gulag is in control of what channels succeed and which ones fai | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | lor which topics perish | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | either deranked and given no incentive to produce (e.g. "Linux") | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is a dangerous level of control | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | when we had public TV it | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) was not intentional | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) was not a single company | Oct 16 16:49 |
| techrights-sec | :/ | Oct 16 16:49 |
| techrights-sec | Most peope, even intelligent, well-educated ones, don't understand algorithmic | Oct 16 16:49 |
| techrights-sec | manipulation. Pick a card, any card -- from this tiny subset ... | Oct 16 16:49 |
| techrights-sec | Twitter and the other social control media examples do that with whole topics | Oct 16 16:49 |
| techrights-sec | of discussion, not just "hashtags". | Oct 16 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I protested a lot abotu 5 years ago when twitter was "becoming facebook" | Oct 16 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I explained why | Oct 16 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I managed to filter that out or mitigate in a number of ways | Oct 16 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | but other people don't use it the same way | Oct 16 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can provide specifics if you are interested | Oct 16 16:51 |
| *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Oct 16 17:02 | |
| techrights-sec | It still comes down to people being shown a selected subset of material, | Oct 16 17:04 |
| techrights-sec | that in and of itself skews the situation. | Oct 16 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | right, so a two-level | Oct 16 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | culling of "Creators" and/or "Content" | Oct 16 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, deranking or shaddwbanning some | Oct 16 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the term for this is "social engineering" | Oct 16 17:05 |
| techrights-sec | The order or sequence in which topics are shown matters *a lot* too, | Oct 16 17:06 |
| techrights-sec | not just stuff which falls off the end of the page, but also which items | Oct 16 17:06 |
| techrights-sec | are shown before other items. People have been shown to adopt positions based | Oct 16 17:06 |
| techrights-sec | on incomplete or downright wrong content posing as information. Then, once | Oct 16 17:06 |
| techrights-sec | their initial opinion has been shaped, almost all of them dig in and are | Oct 16 17:06 |
| techrights-sec | more or less immune to any subsequent data regardless of the accuracy or weight. | Oct 16 17:06 |
| techrights-sec | That would be one form of "social engineering" I guess | Oct 16 17:06 |
