●● IRC: #boycottnovell @ Techrights IRC Network: Thursday, March 17, 2022 ●● ● Mar 17 [00:35] Techrights-sec "we could use even lower-power hardware" [00:35] Techrights-sec yes even the raspberry pi requires a 3 A pwoer supply these days [00:35] Techrights-sec for laptops more power efficiency could mean batteries lasting for a day or two [00:35] Techrights-sec 'smart'phones won't even get through a whole work day let alone a calendar day [00:35] Techrights-sec in their current software + hardware constellation. [00:35] Techrights-sec yes, the trademark needs defending or it goes away. Maybe that is another goal [00:35] Techrights-sec of the LF. [00:37] schestowitz-TR I thought about writing something about their new political letter [00:37] schestowitz-TR signed by microsoft [00:37] schestowitz-TR edelman, then microsoft [00:37] schestowitz-TR now LF manager [00:37] schestowitz-TR paid 100% by microsoft [00:37] schestowitz-TR and writing politicval latter [00:37] schestowitz-TR with the name "linux" on them [00:37] schestowitz-TR way to divide the project [00:37] Techrights-sec what an egregious situation, their most hostile competitor has a place not [00:37] Techrights-sec only on the board but inside management [00:37] Techrights-sec yes, division is their well-used tactic. THere have been many previous examples [00:37] Techrights-sec of them sowing division elsewhere. [00:38] schestowitz-TR then again the letter si signed by THREE people [00:38] schestowitz-TR two of whom male [00:38] schestowitz-TR so if I pick on the "softer" [00:38] schestowitz-TR they can try the "sexism" angle [00:38] schestowitz-TR "why onl;y her"? [00:39] Techrights-sec that's yet another means for them to sow division [00:39] schestowitz-TR so I passed, sskipped [00:39] schestowitz-TR not even a meme [00:40] schestowitz-TR anyway, it was covered in a prior video/meme [00:40] schestowitz-TR the miceosoft-spanks-linus one [00:40] schestowitz-TR and it shows the names [00:40] schestowitz-TR hides the faces [00:42] Techrights-sec ack [00:42] schestowitz-TR we have better things to pick on anyway [00:42] schestowitz-TR yesterday I checked deeper the irs filings [00:42] schestowitz-TR theior cfo lef [00:42] schestowitz-TR *left [00:42] schestowitz-TR same year they LOST money [00:42] schestowitz-TR -$700,000 [00:42] Techrights-sec their subesquent adoption of Enron-style accounting is considered acceptible by [00:42] Techrights-sec many accountants, both strangely and unfortunately. [00:44] schestowitz-TR wait, are we talking about companies or a ahhole nation? or nations? [00:44] schestowitz-TR seems like the world has made "loadn-from-unknown-future the norm [00:44] schestowitz-TR maybe we can also borrow some "green credited" from the next generation? [00:44] schestowitz-TR don't worry, we'll be carbon net negative [00:44] schestowitz-TR some day [00:44] schestowitz-TR we'll turn it around, promise [00:45] Techrights-sec M$ considers itself, and works to position itself, above the nation-states, [00:45] Techrights-sec Recall that some of the executive positions are named and positioned as if [00:45] Techrights-sec they were national level, official governmental jobs. [00:45] schestowitz-TR Chairman Bill [00:46] schestowitz-TR Vice President [00:46] schestowitz-TR there miight be others [00:46] schestowitz-TR but many do end up in politics [00:46] schestowitz-TR or vice versa [00:46] schestowitz-TR see meta^H^Hbook [00:50] Techrights-sec I was thinking more specifically National Technology Officer and sone other [00:50] Techrights-sec job titles there. [00:53] schestowitz-TR my job title at techrights shall be benevolent master of the universe [00:53] schestowitz-TR and you shall be god the third [00:53] schestowitz-TR just to ruffle some feather [00:53] schestowitz-TR i need to follow some halo now... if you'll excuse me [00:54] Techrights-sec They clearly continue to have designs on at least being considered part of the [00:54] Techrights-sec governments. LOL [00:54] Techrights-sec On a more serious note, Europe is about to most seriously regret allowing [00:54] Techrights-sec M$ saboteurs placing M$ products throughout critical infrastructure. [00:56] schestowitz-TR if you saw my video about secuyrity, I did mention that this weeek CISA pointed out Russia targets Windows [00:56] schestowitz-TR the MSM will not mention this [00:56] schestowitz-TR it's all day, all night.... linux "secuirty" something [00:56] schestowitz-TR
