| schestowitz-TR | speaking of certifications, I find that those pursuing them usually try to compensate for a lack of relevant degree | Nov 16 05:40 |

| schestowitz-TR | I think I can combine a discussin of clown computing (not so much to say that's new) with a video about mumble | Nov 16 05:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, with clown computing, none of what was said is new, I think | Nov 16 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is a strong counter-clown 'movement' | Nov 16 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the way it argues may vary a bit | Nov 16 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | status update | Nov 16 06:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) prioriting site updates | Nov 16 06:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | esp. the clients people use to access it (mumla on android isn't good at noise/echo cancelation) | Nov 16 06:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would be a worthy "cause": getting more people to run mumble-server on their PCs/home servers | Nov 16 06:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | to decentralise the communications and move aay from "clown" | Nov 16 06:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | apropos, ftx was a top sponsor of biden | Nov 16 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and many more revelations now emerge along those lines | Nov 16 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and all those who facilitated the scam | Nov 16 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. the role of nat friedman | Nov 16 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | I frogot some of the other connections, but WEF endorsed this shit! | Nov 16 13:38 |

| Techrightssec | FTX went under just after the US mid-term election | Nov 16 13:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd gladly do a video+article about it if I knew more | Nov 16 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | all this crypto BS is intentionally cryptics | Nov 16 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they disguise the BS using buzzwords and "bro" lingo | Nov 16 14:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | net effect: RealMoney got in, no money comes out, apparently lots of RealMoney was passed to another shell | Nov 16 14:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | nobody will be held accountable, and maybe later on Andrew Lee the "crypto" prince will hire one as a CTO | Nov 16 14:02 |
| *matteobin (~matteobin@tecziqbycf9k2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Nov 16 14:14 | |
| Techrightssec | Yes, FTX will be investigated because real money got in and vanished. | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | About the only thing known so far is the list of investment companies which | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | were taken for fools. The guy running FTX will go to jail because, to | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | paraphrase George Carlin, it's a big club and he ain't in it. It's akin | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | to that Usenet guy who went to jail over stock market hype and the general | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | investment market picked up and specialized in his exact tactics while he was | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | in jail and, unlike him, they neither went to jail nor were forced to hand over | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | their proceeds. | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | The crime in both cases appears to be of depriving the wrong crowd of money, | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | unlike what happened in 2008 or with Enron. | Nov 16 14:23 |
| Techrightssec | There aren't many facts known but the list of major chumps is published already. | Nov 16 14:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | my friend lost almost everything to them | Nov 16 14:24 |

| schestowitz-TR | oh, and his home | Nov 16 14:24 |
| Techrightssec | That's too bad. It's sad to hear. | Nov 16 14:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | for about a year he refrained from replying to me | Nov 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | mostly for shame (saving face)I had already warned him repeatedlty after sharlatans -- chinese, italian and saudi -- | Nov 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | took him for fool and ran away with his money (or did not pay) | Nov 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | *charlatans | Nov 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | at one point he asked me if I wanted to "invest" and after some research I showed him it was total BS | Nov 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | he should know that, hs'e a prof. | Nov 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | he also blew his inheritence money on a shirry "sports" car that deleeted in value rapidly and was short-term boast/status symbol | Nov 16 14:29 |

| Techrightssec | at least it does here | Nov 16 19:17 |
| Techrightssec | There was a transcript for that presentation IIRC | Nov 16 19:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the presentation, wich I 'browsed' by 'tasting' one minute at a time (or play at x2 the speed) | Nov 16 19:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | had no substance to it, it's more like SBOM and GitHub boosting | Nov 16 19:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | so even a transcript would be of no use | Nov 16 19:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | -------------------------------------------------- | Nov 16 19:18 |
| *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Nov 16 19:21 | |
| Techrightssec | The whole presentation would be a waste of time to do and a waste of space to | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | post, but the anecdotal jibe against FOSS was transcribed either from that | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | presentation or one including the same anecdote | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | Either way, the content should be noted for the Gemini viewers | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | I must protest that. The links are useful as supplements put too numerous | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | and unclearly annotated for there to be a reasonable expectation that they | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | are clicked upon. I would higlh recommend a small amount of redundancy | Nov 16 19:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I linked to a prior rebuttal to a similar "presentation" (Microsoft PR) | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | surrounding the links so that one can have an idea of the destination by | Nov 16 19:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe we should use footnotes for all the referencing, complete with titles? | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | the text surrounding the link. We can study the click-through rate next year | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | but I would guess that it is not a good idea to have people leave the post | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | mid-sentence since there is a good change that they don't come back to | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | finish reading it, whether they wander off or just forget | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | That might be a good idea, if it can be done in a way that works nicely | Nov 16 19:24 |
| Techrightssec | in the Gemini viewers. | Nov 16 19:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the way the conversion works, it would have just numbers, not <sup>number</sup> | Nov 16 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | unless I use unicide for superscript | Nov 16 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then below in footbnotes gemini would just show the text and later => link | Nov 16 19:27 |
| Techrightssec | Numbers alone would be very inadequate and best avoided. | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | Remember, one primary goal is to have the visitor finish reading the post | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | and not click away until done. Or at least that's how I see it. If they | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | don't get the information through reading, they may stop reading. Or if they | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | start clicking in desperate hope of finding the information elsewhere, there | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | are a multitude of reasons why they might not end up returning to finish reading | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | Time is just one of many. | Nov 16 19:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure how people use gemini, but I typically open links in background tabs and carry on reading | Nov 16 19:30 |
| Techrightssec | There seem to be no Gemini logs, but one aim I see is to support and encourage | Nov 16 19:37 |
| Techrightssec | Gemini usage. That is predicated on having content. | Nov 16 19:37 |
| Techrightssec | I would think that similar principles apply to the WWW version too. | Nov 16 19:37 |
| Techrightssec | On a different subject, this dissertation is a gold mine of potential topics | Nov 16 19:37 |
| Techrightssec | for posts: https://research.tue.nl/en/publications/communication-in-a-world-of-pervasive-surveillance-sources-and-me | Nov 16 19:37 |
| Techrightssec | Even just searching the PDF for keywords instead of reading it through and | Nov 16 19:37 |

| schestowitz-TR | thanks, I will look | Nov 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used to have more time and momentum to write long articles | Nov 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I need more inspiration | Nov 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | the new is... "bland" | Nov 16 19:39 |
| Techrightssec | https://research.tue.nl/files/197416841/20220325_Appelbaum_hf.pdf | Nov 16 19:44 |
| Techrightssec | Short articles are good too, but it is not useful if they are too terse. | Nov 16 19:46 |
| Techrightssec | "The Intercept"'s practice of hanging sources out to dry is noted in the | Nov 16 19:46 |
| Techrightssec | dissertation. | Nov 16 19:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | the main channel discussed software freedom | Nov 16 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | then someone changed the subject to "rape" and wikileaks | Nov 16 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | bringing the channel back on topic essential | Nov 16 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | back in a bit, cleaning rss feeds again | Nov 16 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | no good topics for videos just yet | Nov 16 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | (or none we did not cover already, even recently) | Nov 16 19:49 |
| Techrightssec | Typical. Any disussion of the f-word in any forum will be targeted thusly. | Nov 16 19:50 |
| Techrightssec | For topics, see the above PDF and pick a random subsection. | Nov 16 19:50 |
| Techrightssec | Most have been covered before or at least touched on but there are new angles | Nov 16 19:50 |
| Techrightssec | and in some cases new information there. | Nov 16 19:50 |
