| Techrights-sec2 | the post helps because it highlights an important statement about patents | Jun 20 08:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the statement is important because it is from Bruce Perens himself and | Jun 20 08:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | at the gym I have a friend who sparred with Tyson Furty | Jun 20 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | he's very tall and quite strong | Jun 20 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | stronger than me in some things | Jun 20 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | some, not all | Jun 20 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still see him in the street sometimes | Jun 20 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | we finished with the gym May 2021 | Jun 20 15:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes too bad about having to stop the gym | Jun 20 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | this saves us 1100 pounds a year, savings on gas and water aside, and risk of infection is a lot lower | Jun 20 15:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there are a lot of advantages which offset some of the obvious disadvantages | Jun 20 15:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | having a bit of distance from work helps with the physical and mental preparation | Jun 20 15:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but it's not feasible to attend a gym any more, at least not for the foreseable | Jun 20 15:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | I see more gulagtuber hanging or throwing in the towel | Jun 20 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | very good | Jun 20 17:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | hopefully they publish one last video on the way out explaining why; | Jun 20 17:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | many have gone to LBRY but I don't think that LBRY can last | Jun 20 17:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | When I was about 30 or younger I already saw some kids who dropped out of college, whey they had enrolled, to do | Jun 20 17:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | their youtube career [sic] | Jun 20 17:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have not followed them closely since then, but all the incentives given to celement this monopoly are going away | Jun 20 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they probably went back to finish their degrees | Jun 20 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the youtube videos are peppered with long, unskippable advertisements and | Jun 20 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they get demonetized quickly and for no apparent reason and | Jun 20 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | even when they are not demonetized, they bring in negligible money | Jun 20 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | so it's a lot of work and no economic reward | Jun 20 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | som people selectively boast only about their most "successful" videos | Jun 20 17:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | that may have gone viral | Jun 20 17:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is no "recipe" for doing this every day | Jun 20 17:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not a fixed income | Jun 20 17:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it's at best a supplemental income and maybe a hobby which can pay for itself | Jun 20 17:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | one reasons many news sites and blogs perish is, | Jun 20 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | they wrongly assumed ad revenue would be OK | Jun 20 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | they keep blaming blockers | Jun 20 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the money paid by ads is one massive bubble and a lie | Jun 20 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | in 2003 I saw some online posters claiming gulag adsenbse had paid them x money | Jun 20 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | that was not really possible | Jun 20 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | it sets the wrong expectations | Jun 20 17:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ad revenue was often a lie | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | about 20 years ago, the ad distributors would often refuse to pay any money | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | to FOSS-oriented web sites claiming "fraudulent" metrics | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | expectations are one thing but getting the agreed upon money out of them is | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | another and they generally seem dead set against paying for sites which advance | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | GNU or FOSS. Note that Lunduke repeatedly had problems with Youtube not paying | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | him for any videos with "Linux" in the title. It got to be so predictable that | Jun 20 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec2 | he experimented with that a bit before leaving Youtube completely. | Jun 20 17:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, I figure that has been one of the long running goals across these many | Jun 20 17:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | companies | Jun 20 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | way to esnure some topics do not get covered at all | Jun 20 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, if they get covered, they never reach mainstream -level exposure | Jun 20 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | sharing is not good for what they are hoping to accomplish, even if they too are a bubble economy like spotify or -- for wha matter -- youtube | Jun 20 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can go to hell with their wall street bailout "defence" money | Jun 20 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are riding the backs of taxpayers with two daytime jobs | Jun 20 17:13 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 20 17:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's almost 5:30 (work) and already 20.5k reqs in gemini | Jun 20 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have nearly cleaned my feeds | Jun 20 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne is out hunting for discounts | Jun 20 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the meetings for the company should be over by month's end, they keep kicking the can | Jun 20 17:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | any clear idea of what they are procrastinating? | Jun 20 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | idea yes, clear not | Jun 20 17:16 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 20 17:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | we get paid in the meantime, about 3k a month, so we don't mind much | Jun 20 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I mean, I want to work less | Jun 20 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if not, I still get paid, never mind if money loses its value fast | Jun 20 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't think anyone get raises proportional to inflation this past year | Jun 20 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | to reach 55 we need something similar to the rate of spendings | Jun 20 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | that assumes the pension too itself does not totally collapse | Jun 20 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | "may you live in interesting times" | Jun 20 17:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | still some plan for pension ought to be carried out IMO | Jun 20 17:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | the notion of a pension is now unclear to all, who cannot predict the future | Jun 20 18:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | billionaires do not need to worry about it | Jun 20 18:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | they don't think likwe we do and they are not in the same scenario | Jun 20 18:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | the pensions might be at their mercy | Jun 20 18:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | an inflation can munch it all down to nothing in short order | Jun 20 18:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or another 2008-style bailout can loot the coffers | Jun 20 18:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | having more and more stored is not a panacea | Jun 20 18:15 |

| Techrights-sec2 | thus some of the interest around the world in realestate speculation over | Jun 20 18:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the last 30 years | Jun 20 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | a helpful thought exercise is, | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | breaking homes down to bits | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | (or cars) | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and assess the real cost of pertinent parts | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | ask yourself if the sum total makes sense | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | if there is a big and growing disparity, you are looking at abundance | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | with my laptops, I look at the parts | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | my laptop that I bought cost 200 pounds | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | a | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | new laptop 20 years ago cost a lot more for comparable parts with different specs | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and adjusted for today's currency it was like 10 times more expensive | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | laptop, to me, offer a lot of value | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a car to someone else | Jun 20 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they cost like 100 times less | Jun 20 18:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 20 18:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | car: | Jun 20 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | 4-5 chairs, should be the price of a sofa | Jun 20 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | chassis, thin metal sheets, 4 wheels and tires, some internal mechanics | Jun 20 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | china can probably make one for 3 grand | Jun 20 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would not last long | Jun 20 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then again many of today's cars don't either | Jun 20 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | (depending on where you are, e.g. singapore, a lot of the price of the car is duty/tax) | Jun 20 18:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the starting list price of vechicle in the US is over $40k | Jun 20 18:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and few people actually drive cars there, it's mostly trucks in different shapes | Jun 20 18:38 |
