[06:07]	schestowitz-TR	The reason the ytalk connection was dropped, my machine was rebooted
[06:07]	schestowitz-TR	I studied the logs, after I had taken the opportunity to do a full system update
[06:07]	schestowitz-TR	and could not see anything connection the ongoing drive warnings
[06:07]	schestowitz-TR	to the incident
[06:07]	Techrights-sec	no worries, it should have reconnected automatically form my
[06:07]	Techrights-sec	end though 
[06:07]	Techrights-sec	from my end though
[06:08]	Techrights-sec	I have a loop going here.
[06:10]	schestowitz-TR	so it turns out alex jones, like andrew lee, is also living the us lifestyle
[06:10]	schestowitz-TR	50k in assets, then just borrow... 1 million to 10 million
[06:10]	schestowitz-TR	and they say this is the world's most potent economt
[06:10]	schestowitz-TR	(never mind motivation o bury the debt in ch11)
[06:10]	Techrights-sec	yep goog riddance to him though I suppose his backers won;t let his be the end of him and his bullshit
[06:10]	Techrights-sec	yep another "successful bankruptcy" to show at business schools as a model
[06:12]	schestowitz-TR	theory: the national deficit, granting about 20 trillion in public debt is about a decade or a little more
[06:12]	schestowitz-TR	covers up for the fakeness of the private sector
[06:12]	schestowitz-TR	which is in the red
[06:16]	Techrights-sec	it's hard to explain but the money is not the global currency but the debt
[06:16]	Techrights-sec	itself, that also gives more leverage over the borrower
[06:16]	Techrights-sec	yes and it does help hide the fakeness of the private sector 
[06:16]	Techrights-sec	an additional problem is that Enron-style accounting is now allowed and 
[06:16]	Techrights-sec	encouraged so it is almost impossible to find out what the bottome line is.
[06:17]	Techrights-sec	Generally that takes an audit and business schools have prepared scammers
[06:17]	Techrights-sec	for that by teaching everyone how to keep two separate sets of books, only
[06:17]	Techrights-sec	one of which is for the government.  The big Enterprise Resource Planning
[06:17]	Techrights-sec	packages don't let people keep track of that for their business anyway.
[06:17]	Techrights-sec	It has become a shell game.
[06:17]	Techrights-sec	Yes, in otherwords they are intentionally obfuscating their dire situation
[06:17]	schestowitz-TR	See, I am not so stupid but I could never make sense of the financial statement of a 10-person (little more) company
[06:17]	schestowitz-TR	where I have been for over 10 years
[06:17]	schestowitz-TR	my BS meter off the chart, I still needed help from better sniffers
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	don't mean to sound cocky, but it seems a good majority of companies are like that
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	some are more upfront about it
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	apparently rianne and I, as we do have actual savings and no debt/liabilities, are 
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	a lot better off than a god majority of households
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	two days ago I saved about 30 pounds on food and did exercise at the same time (went to 7 shops+1 at 
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	the end, a second visit)
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	not many people in those
[06:22]	schestowitz-TR	high inflation rates penalise not only savers, they hurt everybody
[06:23]	Techrights-sec	perhaps, but as mentioned it is now established practice to cook the books
[06:23]	Techrights-sec	and to use accoubnting methods which facillitate that
[06:23]	Techrights-sec	yes that is a goal ,but the low interest rates also discourage savings,
[06:23]	Techrights-sec	they try to push everyone to put their money into speculation instead.
[06:23]	Techrights-sec	Basically they wish people to gamble what little they might have put away
[06:25]	schestowitz-TR	yes, in IRC I've said this repeatedly over the past year
[06:25]	schestowitz-TR	Wall Street now eats the middle class (what's left of it)
[06:25]	schestowitz-TR	by putting more pressure on remaining savers to "feed the machine"
[06:25]	schestowitz-TR	this will end like in 2007-8
[06:25]	Techrights-sec	... what's left of the middle class is rapidly vanishing, pushed down
[06:25]	Techrights-sec	into poverty
[06:28]	schestowitz-TR	1) the standards of "poverty" are adjusted
[06:28]	schestowitz-TR	2) "full employment" redefined
[06:28]	schestowitz-TR	3) more hours, more working people per household
[06:28]	schestowitz-TR	4) reducation in compensation, pension age etc.
[06:28]	schestowitz-TR	"if you can't make it good, make it look like you need Epstein for "rich people"..."
[06:28]	schestowitz-TR	Because that's all he is renowned for, nothing else....
[06:29]	Techrights-sec	the definition of poverty is bent also to exclude more impoverished people
[06:29]	Techrights-sec	from the category, so effectively much of the lower end of what had been
[06:29]	Techrights-sec	middle class is in practice poor and feeling it
[06:29]	Techrights-sec	basically
[06:30]	schestowitz-TR	it is even worse when you factor in much of the "lifestyle" being fed by loans
[06:30]	schestowitz-TR	our old filmmaking friend contemplated suicide over it 15 years ago

[06:32]	Techrights-sec	that's too bad;
[06:32]	Techrights-sec	I think he's doing much better now, bites from pinnepeds aside
[06:32]	Techrights-sec	^pinniped
[06:32]	schestowitz-TR	it's the financial equiv of anabolic steroids
[06:32]	schestowitz-TR	make me look big now
[06:32]	schestowitz-TR	we'll worry about all "that bad stuff" later on
[06:32]	Techrights-sec	yep, to a certain extent
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	with soma and all that, they make yet more "susccess stories"
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	more billionaires like sackler family with purdue 
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	so there's something to celebrate after all!
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	in 'ol england' they had pubs and booze to compel the hard-working class to keep
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	working harder
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	but the drugs are no longer limited to liquid form
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	the last effect is also longer
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	if the drinking shortens the life, no pension, work till death
[06:40]	schestowitz-TR	a sort of lifespan or longevity 'eugenics'
[06:42]	Techrights-sec	another thing the us does is the culture, especialy through business, puts 
[06:42]	Techrights-sec	nearly everybody in a dire situation where the normal reaction is stress
[06:42]	Techrights-sec	if not downright depression then instead of fixing the problem or moving the
[06:42]	Techrights-sec	people to better jobs (on the false assumption that any exist) they sell
[06:42]	Techrights-sec	expensive mindaltering medication to force a happy or at least less depressed

[06:42]	Techrights-sec	chinese fentanyl or taliban heroin shortens it more and faster 
[06:42]	Techrights-sec	it also removes people from politics, like Pince or Tom Petty, more conveniently than what had to be done with John Lennon
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	yes in pratcie there is a eugneics programme against those that are honest
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	hard working , smart, or a combination there of.
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	Look for example at the characteristics selected for in the US military and
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	then the long term darwinian fitness effect their time in the service has
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	it's even bad for the officers, not just the enlisted
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	patriotism overlaps with a kind of altruism, so that too is being bred out
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	china is also doing a heavy eugenics programme against its citizens with 
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	the social credit score; they look to be trying to breed obedience and 
[06:55]	Techrights-sec	unquestioningness into the population or at least remove independence and
[06:56]	Techrights-sec	questioning from the gene pool
[06:56]	Techrights-sec	Europe is doing quite badly too.
[06:57]	schestowitz-TR	I have checked the film archive of our friend

[07:21]	Techrights-sec	ack
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	and the other vaccine lines seem to have been starved of funding even
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	though they looked very promising 
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	on another topic, /tmp/techrights-monitor-tr.py has the updated monitoring 
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	script here; it's not set up for more than one site at a time but has a lot
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	of bells and whistles which I find useful 
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	at around 03:40 UTC each day there is a bit of a slowdown but not long enough
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	to trigger a full alarm
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	yes I remember, it's just that even with ionice and nice in use the site
[07:21]	Techrights-sec	slows down enough to notice
[07:22]	schestowitz-TR	that's the backup time, with wordpress being the biggest toll
[07:22]	schestowitz-TR	that used to result in much longer period of unavailability
[07:22]	schestowitz-TR	when that  machine was about 8 cores
[07:22]	schestowitz-TR	maybe the db locks up until the dump is complete and httpd keeps connections to it on hold
[07:22]	schestowitz-TR	i forgot how that works, we've not had to worry much since the server move
[07:23]	Techrights-sec	that could be it though I don't know enough about the db to say either way
[07:23]	Techrights-sec	it has to lock the tables in some way for a period of time in order to
[07:23]	Techrights-sec	have a coherent dump
[07:25]	schestowitz-TR	this technical approach may sound obscene until you realise the size of the DB when not compressed
[07:25]	schestowitz-TR	for tuxmachines the 170k nodes being dump also leads to a sort of 'hang', but it lasts under a minute
[07:25]	schestowitz-TR	to tuxmachines visitors it's like "the site is a bit slow" and then it comes back OK with a page
[07:25]	Techrights-sec	yes it is huge
[07:25]	Techrights-sec	TR is as far as I know an unusually large wordpress instance
[07:25]	Techrights-sec	yes the slowdown is short nowadays, that is quite good 
[07:27]	schestowitz-TR	I don't have to speculate how much hosting on such hardware costs "in the market", per anum
[07:27]	schestowitz-TR	*annum
[07:28]	Techrights-sec	It is quite a generous contribution

[07:51]	Techrights-sec	the dedicated work ethic is being bred out
[07:51]	Techrights-sec	as people starve to death while doing important/essential jobs
[07:51]	Techrights-sec	That study was from 2019, the situatioon is most likely far worse from
[07:51]	Techrights-sec	2020 and 2021
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	i could sound like an old cliche, but...
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	automation was supposed to help people work less
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	let the invention take care of much of the rest
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	sweden did, at one point, experiement with workhours reduction
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	maybe that was there to stay
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	switzerland (rich) dabbled in ubi
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	for some corporate/ruling class these programmes are undesirable
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	in weaker democracies these can never materialise
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	let alone get tested
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	one alternative does exist
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	reject the system
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	work at the margins of it
[07:54]	schestowitz-TR	and do not obey 
[07:58]	Techrights-sec	kind of, but the societal pressure to work oneself deep into debt is   
[07:58]	Techrights-sec	tremendous and a matter of knowledge, given that the educational system
[07:58]	Techrights-sec	was neutralied in the US during the Reagan administration the knoweldge
[07:58]	Techrights-sec	has been gone for a while
[07:58]	schestowitz-TR	I am miffed only by the term "work deep into debt"
[07:58]	schestowitz-TR	as it is the consumption (of kids) that cause the debt
[07:58]	schestowitz-TR	the work, unless it's something like gambling, it not likely to cause
[07:59]	schestowitz-TR	the debt
[07:59]	schestowitz-TR	but creating a business that operates at a loss might
[07:59]	schestowitz-TR	you work and lose at the same time
[07:59]	Techrights-sec	partially, cars, wasteful travel and kids
[07:59]	Techrights-sec	kids are reckeoned to cost 250 k EUR to raise to 18, and the costs
[07:59]	Techrights-sec	extend for quite a few years after 18 these days

[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	kids and cars are connected
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	because cars are expected when you have kids
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	people ask funny questions when you walk the kids 45-minute walks
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	to get places
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	esp. in certain weather
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	so it is another "hidden" cost
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	which few ould factor in
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	*would
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	lol, "the marching morons"
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	I like the title
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	incidentally, upstairs 20 mins ago rianne and I joked about our colleagues
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	who actually invested their personal money in the company
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	to them, well... they work hard like mules
[08:03]	schestowitz-TR	to us, no... we do the bare minumium and don't care
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	yes if you have kids the logistics of raising them *requires* that a car
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	is used even in most of Europe
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	that adds to the debt, and now even in Europe there is a growing trend
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	for societies to cultivate "student debt" as if that were a normal thing
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	wtf?  That's foolish
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	especially given the pull towards clown and M$
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	if the company were heading in a viable direction that woud be a different
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	matter, but clown and m$ are a dead end
[08:05]	Techrights-sec	tyhen again mules are not smart nor known for being smart
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	1) it's not clown and MS, but clown and some occasional nonfree
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	which is still now goog
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	*good
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	2) in the UK we had the show (predates my adult life) Only Fools and Horses
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	and you know what comes after that
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	rianne anmd I already joke that if one day the company goes under we'll be like "LOL! real sorry!"
[08:08]	schestowitz-TR	This sort of mindset is quite healthy, I think
[08:08]		*psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
[08:10]	Techrights-sec	yes, the numbers show that it is a bad investment, one should never invest
[08:10]	Techrights-sec	for other than solid numbers not wishful thinking or other emotional factors
[08:10]	Techrights-sec	At least a certain level of detachment is healthy
[08:10]	Techrights-sec	However, apropos cores mentioned earlier, Kaniini mentioned "soon", is there
[08:10]	Techrights-sec	any way to help with that?  I suppose it is a matter of time which he doesn
[08:10]	Techrights-sec	have though
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR	a new job and little spare time led to this
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR	but worry not, at least the verbal commitment is there
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR	12 months ago it was not that good
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	judging by volume of daily links, easter monday too got shaved off as a holiday
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	each year it feels to me like the "champion" economy and the "bext system!"
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	is trying to sustain itself like the EPO does
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	by stealing more and more from workers
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	Battistelli tookm away many holidays
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	his orange minion brought nonse back
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	*non
[08:13]	schestowitz-TR	*none
[08:15]	schestowitz-TR	holiday became "long weekend" and long weekend is now just "slow Friday"
[08:15]	schestowitz-TR	boohoo! can't wait till dec 24th (rianne already booked a day off work so we can 
[08:15]	schestowitz-TR	bargain-hunt that day) when we have a "long weekend" again
[08:15]	Techrights-sec	yes, the presence of any links at all is due almost entuirely to 
[08:15]	Techrights-sec	trolling through the RSS feeds 
[08:17]	schestowitz-TR	same in quiterss

[08:23]	Techrights-sec	ack
[08:23]	Techrights-sec	excercise several times per day is important and getting up from the computer every 20 minutes for at least a few miniutes is essenti
[08:23]	Techrights-sec	al

[08:24]	schestowitz-TR	one potential area to expand in: find more stuff, esp. aggregator, for Planet Gemini
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR	this is where I go for all my "discoverables"
[08:26]	schestowitz-TR	as for exercise, I got my shotput ball wrapped up in a used pillowcase to do exercise with, like in a gym
[08:26]	schestowitz-TR	the other ball is with a friend, Mark
[08:26]	schestowitz-TR	I've not seen him in 10 months due to the plague
[08:26]	schestowitz-TR	there's no sign of that being brought under control
[08:26]	schestowitz-TR	"we are the controls!!!"
[08:27]	Techrights-sec	excellent
[08:27]	Techrights-sec	if you had 3 you could juggle but only if there are neighbor below :P
[08:27]	Techrights-sec	yes, there is no sign of leveling off anywhere that I have read about
[08:28]	schestowitz-TR	this is the proper 7.2kg, the 6kg is with my friend
[08:28]	schestowitz-TR	he too might be using it sometimes
[08:28]	schestowitz-TR	so I don't want to ask for it back
[08:28]	schestowitz-TR	one can be creative to get the same done with one, like one set each arm

[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	I cannot easily be afk overnight
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	possible, but can be tricky
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	the cron jobs were set up around 2019
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	anyway, all this is not applicable, still up to debate, until next month
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	for rianne it'll be good to spend a lot of time with family 
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	she is a nurse and very COVID-aware
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	so I don't worry about THAT
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	If there's a guest I feel safe being here, it's her
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	as a side note, a friend who is a nurse killed herself recently
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	and a doctor at the hospital also killed himself this year
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	those don't count as COVID deaths
[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	the mental and financial devastation cause due to or alongside the

[10:03]	schestowitz-TR	(an hour ago)

[10:36]	schestowitz-TR	Yesterday I was thinking of the AOL flopppy=subscriber slant
[10:36]	schestowitz-TR	When Twitter says it has "x active users"
[10:36]	schestowitz-TR	what does Twitter Inc. mean??
[10:36]	schestowitz-TR	Active as in clicked on some twitter link in Gulag search and had twitter browser cookie?
[10:36]	schestowitz-TR	Logged in but just reading
[10:36]	schestowitz-TR	Logged in in past 365 days?
[10:37]	schestowitz-TR	Reading but not posting? Not even liking? You know what the Twitter CFO will favour,,,
[10:37]	Techrights-sec	I can't tolerate any commercial radio or television, and not just because of
[10:37]	Techrights-sec	the ads
[10:37]	Techrights-sec	yes, there is a strong parallel from what I see
[10:37]	Techrights-sec	it sounds like they are lying about a lot of stats
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	I have repeatedly stated, and can provide some prooof/evidence, that they herd all the users
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	into few accounts/tweets/topics
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	they funnel in all the traffic to give a false impression of importance
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	they might as well pay MSM to feed into this frenzt
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	in the past the traffic was more nicely spread
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	but now they herd people into few places by provoking them
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	if now pushing things, even into "NOTIFICATIONS"
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	thinss that have nothing to do with you 
[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	they show me "tweets" from people I do not "follow"

[10:40]	schestowitz-TR	I last saw it when I checked last week
[10:40]	Techrights-sec	tht would be profitable for them to do and be easy for them to do and
[10:40]	Techrights-sec	be low risk for them to do so it is probable that even without strong
[10:40]	Techrights-sec	evidence one can presume it is being done
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	they might try to argue they are trying to help YOU!
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	To know what's important 
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	the pluocrats have long sought ways to control public rage
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	and tpo shift focus to and away from certain topics
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	like FB rebranding as "mta"
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	to break the news/noise cycle
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	BTW, the "Linux" events that pocker money from these mobsters
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	now they change their sites to say "meta" is a sponsor
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	LF has one for meta, one for FB
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	like Microsoft with the two palms, GitHub and Microsoft
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	I was gona say something else ebut forgot
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	though maybe it was about FB doing its "experiments" with manipulatiob of emotions
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	they do not need to make it directly profitable
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	they can rent or outright sell the platforms to oligarchs like Trump and Musk
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	maybe they want to "take turns"
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	hence resist the temptatiun to sell to just one power broker
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	butr the ability to shift TO and AWQAY from topics all around the world
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	in many languages 
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	is incredible powerful
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	with media scattered across nations, languages and different owners it's very easy to
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	coordinates blackouts etc.
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	I have much to say about how Russian invasion was handled by social control media
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	but that might get me labeled "Russian agents" or "apologist"
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	media consolidation has been studied as a threat for decades
[10:46]	schestowitz-TR	few dare question consolidatiomn aspects
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR	of this new form of aggregatinon

[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	if not enough people "help" them by flying, then maybe our regimes
[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	should bail them out some more
[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	IOW, taking our money as taxpayers forcibly
[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	to feed the likes of starving Dick Bransom and his ilk
[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	because planes are too big to FALL
[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	and they help prototype bombers and jets
[11:11]	schestowitz-TR	we really need those

[11:12]	Techrights-sec	unfortunately most of the military budget looks like graft and other

[11:14]	Techrights-sec	actual effective tools are not bought or used so lives are lost directly
[11:14]	Techrights-sec	and indirectly
[11:16]	schestowitz-TR	fiscally eugenicist :-)
[11:16]	schestowitz-TR	(the use and misuse of money to eliminate the "undesirable" -- to the fake economy -- elements)
[11:18]	Techrights-sec	again those with a base level of altruism, patriotism/loyalty, health,    
[11:18]	Techrights-sec	intellect, and education are those that are entering the military service

[11:29]	schestowitz-TR	why was the subject suppressed by the media for so long
[11:29]	schestowitz-TR	and what finally broke the silence
[11:29]	schestowitz-TR	also, what will the outcome of this "ourage" be?
[11:29]	schestowitz-TR	fewer planes?
[11:29]	schestowitz-TR	greenwashing?
[11:29]	schestowitz-TR	reperations? (LOL, sorry I spat out my coffee)
[11:31]	Techrights-sec	o   
[11:31]	Techrights-sec	outrage which will be express impotently as "tweets" which are so ephemeral
[11:31]	Techrights-sec	'that no one will notice
[11:31]	Techrights-sec	'
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	so Musk Social will change the trending a bit with a few button presses
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	and maybe add some will smith or kardahian arse to herd people some other place
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	when it comes to ourage cycles, the subject have been studied
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	you can change people'e aattention span and outrage quotient or faces
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	('rage-shifting' for lack of a proper term)
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	in less than 18 months
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	maybe in 18 seconds
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	"she said what?"
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	"he slapped who?"
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	"Trump tweets WHAT??"
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	BTW, few people still read "long form"
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	books, long articles etc.
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	unless it's some action firms with breasts and explosions
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	re techrights, not many topics I see for today
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	but that's alright, we have a large trove of material and the important thing is keeping the site online, running, ranks
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	OK for people to find info on pertinent info they look for
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	rianne finished cooking and is now posting to TM
[11:35]	schestowitz-TR	I will follow after she's done (we try to avoid overlap for risk of "dupes")
[11:53]	Techrights-sec	*very* few people /can/ read long form any more
[11:53]	Techrights-sec	of those not all actually do 
[11:53]	Techrights-sec	and to paraphrase an unattributed / unattributable saying,
[11:53]	Techrights-sec	there is no difference between those that cannot read and those that do not
[11:53]	Techrights-sec	read
[11:53]	Techrights-sec	in practice
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	same with swimming and many other things
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	I've not driven for a long time but can still drive OK
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	driving is actually very easy with today's cars
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	the human rights issues aside
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	even parking became simpler because they give you prompts about cars, pavements and show you angles you could not
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	get before
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	\
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	btw, my video about LF CoC was in front page of LXer
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	those are the sorts of topics you do NOT expect to appear (or stay) in Reddit, Fucker News, and other 
[11:55]	schestowitz-TR	corporate BS that posthumously exploits victims of themselves
[11:56]	Techrights-sec	:)
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	news of actual vericity is again thin today
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	so I think I will take it easy and focus on my maintenance tasks from TODO
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	things like backups and shuffling around equipment (did lots of that yesterday again)
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	I work 5:30pm onwards
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	rianne barelyy found news worthy of TM this morning
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	we'll widen the draft nets a bit
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	*drift 
[11:59]	schestowitz-TR	*veracity
[11:59]	schestowitz-TR	you can tell I'm not alarmed by IRC typos, I think people can recognise the informal value of it
[11:59]	schestowitz-TR	and in case of faux pas you can use the typos to reaffirm this assertion that IRC
[11:59]	schestowitz-TR	should be interpreted as informal

[12:49]	Techrights-sec	it may be nextweek before the news recovers a bit but it seems that for many
[12:49]	Techrights-sec	years the news diminishes permanently after each major holida
[12:51]	schestowitz-TR	I think that's to do with operational cycles
[12:51]	schestowitz-TR	like, your contract ends at the end of the year i.e. dec 23rd
[12:51]	schestowitz-TR	or various other decision made effective after a break
[12:51]	schestowitz-TR	to me, personally, it seems like assurance that our articles
[12:51]	schestowitz-TR	on particular topics will be ranked higher
[12:52]	schestowitz-TR	esp. those which are very old and have no "competition" left  
[12:52]	schestowitz-TR	online
[12:52]	schestowitz-TR	keeping sites online is not cheap
[12:52]	schestowitz-TR	the MBAs and marketers who run interferences do not know even the very basics
[12:52]	schestowitz-TR	and need to hire companies like us, under SLA, to do simple stuff like 
[12:52]	schestowitz-TR	restart mysql or apply system updates
[12:52]	Techrights-sec	it may be nextweek before the news recovers a bit but it seems that for many
[12:52]	Techrights-sec	years the news diminishes permanently after each major holiday
[12:52]	Techrights-sec	perhaps it is something like that 
[12:52]	Techrights-sec	yes but overall it would be better for more sites to cover important issues
[12:52]	Techrights-sec	well
[12:54]	schestowitz-TR	the sites which perrish (not blogs IME) are doing more harm than good, on average
[12:54]	schestowitz-TR	because the output is decided on by advertisers
[12:54]	schestowitz-TR	A lot of Mono and .NET boosting came not from blogs
[12:54]	schestowitz-TR	but from complicity corporate media
[12:54]	schestowitz-TR	hotice how zdnet too fell to less than 50% of its capacity 2 years ago
[12:54]	schestowitz-TR	this is what we want!!!
[12:55]	Techrights-sec	well
[12:55]	Techrights-sec	kind of.  as zdnet is now, it would be better for the world if it shutdown; however the zdnet of 20 years ago was great and had prope
[12:55]	Techrights-sec	r FOSS coverage, like
[12:55]	Techrights-sec	most magazines also had back then;  BYTE was one of the first shutdown IIRC
[12:55]	Techrights-sec	CMP killed it probably because all the editors became enthusiastic about
[12:55]	Techrights-sec	"Linux"
[12:56]	schestowitz-TR	many other CMP "properties" in its "portfolio" vanished or became inactive
[12:56]	schestowitz-TR	one of those "toxic asets" to put on the "bad" book or "balance sheet"
[12:57]	Techrights-sec	yes their goal is to shutdown anything that's not toeing the line
[12:57]	Techrights-sec	It's not an investment per se, though they may try to call it that in the
[12:57]	Techrights-sec	press release, but instead an ideological maneuver
[12:57]	schestowitz-TR	Elop <3 Nokia
[12:57]	schestowitz-TR	Icahn <3 Yahoo!
[12:57]	schestowitz-TR	Microsoft <3 Linux

[13:00]	schestowitz-TR	I supported LF when it started
[13:00]	schestowitz-TR	Now I cannot wait to see it reaching its "successful bankruptcy"
[13:04]	Techrights-sec	yes LF seemed like a good idea at the beginning, if I understand
[13:04]	Techrights-sec	correctly it was to provide independent employment for Linus but rather quickly it
[13:04]	Techrights-sec	got infiltrated by microsofters and subverted to represent corporate interests
[13:04]	Techrights-sec	within the kernel rather than general promotion and advancement of the 
[13:04]	Techrights-sec	kernel itself.  No project is too small for M$ to attack and LF was not
[13:05]	Techrights-sec	just big but important.  
[13:05]	schestowitz-TR	and now, in turn, LF is used to corrupt media
[13:05]	schestowitz-TR	FOSS Force is one of many
[13:06]	Techrights-sec	FOSSforce fell more recently

[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	I think we need to research tidelift and explain to people what this POS is
[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	seems like another OSI if not worse
[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	but I once heard a Red Hat founder too was involved
[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	I found out they'r e bankrolled by 'curious' entities
[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	that remind me of things we saw in the novell era

[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	[15:42] <techrights-news> Don't ask Tidelift about Stalin. It might say something about Hitler being bad and thus Stalin being good.
[16:20]	schestowitz-TR	Tidelift = corporate shills.
