| schestowitz[TR] | troll having a stab at it again today; can't stop me, just slow me down a little. Now I have far more time not just for TR but also to properly research the stuff (very in-depth, raw evidence included) | Jan 22 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR] | I found some interesting stuff about ISO | Jan 22 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR] | but need to properly present it for more impact//salarity | Jan 22 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR] | *clarity | Jan 22 07:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | apropos iso, the existence of this series just serves to show that all that iso red tape is total bs | Jan 22 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | gdpr aside, people who write things cannot be denied access to things they wrote, it's like drm - a fantasy | Jan 22 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | fsfe tried to weaponise gdpr against pocock and it just backfired | Jan 22 08:01 |
| techrigthssec | Glyn Moody pointed out Benjamin White's article which mentioned article | Jan 22 08:15 |
| techrigthssec | 16(3) of the Finnish Constitution and which might be relevant not just | Jan 22 08:15 |

| techrigthssec | (kind of overlaps with DRM there) | Jan 22 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saw that yesterday | Jan 22 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | thought about pasting in irc too | Jan 22 08:15 |
| techrigthssec | The formats aren't just a theoretical threat but have been used time and again | Jan 22 08:56 |
| techrigthssec | to exclude competition including competition from older versions of their own | Jan 22 08:56 |
| techrigthssec | productivity suite | Jan 22 08:56 |
| techrigthssec | It's not a great distance to leap to show the role that DRM plays in hindering | Jan 22 08:56 |
| techrigthssec | either open science, arts, etc | Jan 22 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | anything "open" or Commons is seen as "not privatised YET" | Jan 22 08:59 |

| techrigthssec | There were a few investigative articles about it | Jan 22 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems like a motif/theme | Jan 22 09:35 |

| schestowitz-TR | it'll get worse and harder to detect/investigate as cars get "smarter" | Jan 22 09:35 |
| techrigthssec | Much easier with the networked cars filled with proprietary software | Jan 22 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | it can be remotely tampered before AND AFTER | Jan 22 09:39 |

| schestowitz-TR | the term lost its meaning | Jan 22 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | it used to mean something more precise | Jan 22 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it's a junk term like "smart" | Jan 22 10:15 |
| techrigthssec | There must be an accurate term for automated programming done by statistical | Jan 22 10:17 |

| techrigthssec | Yes, the point a bout brute force needs to be highlighted in nearly all | Jan 22 10:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | it's a bunch of things | Jan 22 10:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | and lots of it is crap | Jan 22 10:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | topics welcome | Jan 22 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | iso will be among the next targets | Jan 22 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | many parts | Jan 22 12:40 |
| techrigthssec | including the MOOX scandal in all the comnpnent ISO committees in each | Jan 22 12:42 |
| techrigthssec | member country? | Jan 22 12:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | it links to the wiki about ISO | Jan 22 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | firsthand account of iso as papermill is damaghing enough | Jan 22 12:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | good news: intensity of FUD and attacks on Linux lately, or so far this year, down notably | Jan 22 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hope it means budget for things like "sponsoring" SFC has gone down | Jan 22 12:54 |
| techrigthssec | Maybe m$ is realizing that it is about out of money and has already cut back | Jan 22 12:57 |
| techrigthssec | on the departments dealing with financing shills and astroturfers? | Jan 22 12:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | "marketing" explicitly mentioned among the cuts | Jan 22 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I joked it would mean less shills/astroturfing | Jan 22 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | "media partners" and all that... | Jan 22 12:58 |
| techrigthssec | Marketing used to be very clearly the largest single line item in m$ budget. | Jan 22 13:13 |
| techrigthssec | However, when they got ridiculed for that, it appears that they split up | Jan 22 13:13 |
| techrigthssec | the marketing among all the various sections to hide how much larger it has | Jan 22 13:13 |
| techrigthssec | grown. M$ "Research" is basically sales / marketing. | Jan 22 13:13 |
| techrigthssec | and little to no actual (computer) science | Jan 22 13:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, lewis showed the numbers before | Jan 22 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | concluded marketing with the biggest unit | Jan 22 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | calling it "marketing" is itself marketing | Jan 22 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | i.e. misleading | Jan 22 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | in nigeria, microsoft called bribery to cut off gnu/linux "marketing help" | Jan 22 13:14 |
| techrigthssec | Looking at the Old version of Slashdot from 2002. No wonder m$ wanted it dead. | Jan 22 13:16 |
| techrigthssec | IIRC it was announced in 2002 or 2003 that the largest line item was marketing. | Jan 22 13:16 |
| techrigthssec | The next quarter's SEC filing had that "fixed" as mentioned above. | Jan 22 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | *cough LF Research(TM) *cough* | Jan 22 13:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | tumblr for videos? | Jan 22 15:00 |
| techrigthssec | No idea | Jan 22 15:39 |
| techrigthssec | As discussed a long while back YouTube's business model might not be | Jan 22 15:39 |
| techrigthssec | economically viable. | Jan 22 15:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | ag red? iirc, that was the name, "red". | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and iirc, they had other paid-for experiments/options | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's when you knew something was amiss | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, shut down due to lack of demand | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | same as cnn's premium opffering | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | i never watched netflix anywhere | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so not sure how it works (i read about "password-sharing", podesta did that too) | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | netflix competes against youtube economics | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | not hd or lesser hd | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if youtube operates at a loss, | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | then netflix basically competes with "below zero" | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they do the "uber modus" | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they charge more or curtail "sharing", people can turn to USB, external disks, iptv etc. | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of "modern" "tech" is a bubblew | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | running on the money or riding the capital of oil, pension funds, and speculation | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence microsoft, despite CLAIMING to be super-profitable, is makign deep cuts | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they all play poker and wait for time to fold | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | now, they realise no winner is imminent and show the doors, don't expect many to ask for payrise in this climate | Jan 22 15:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | > remember gulag red? iirc, that was the name, "red". | Jan 22 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and iirc, they had other paid-for experiments/options | Jan 22 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | i meant youtube red, did not loo to check. youtube pays the "Creator" a lot less, they're not happy; 60% revenue | Jan 22 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | share not goes to the host, not the creator that does like, 90% of the actual work | Jan 22 15:45 |
| techrigthssec | Netflix has its own economic problems and it ships around large servers filled | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | with fully-loaded hard drives to try to reduce the amount of bandwidth wasted. | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | One of the main roles that Netflix and the other streaming services seems to | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | fill is as a promoter of TBL's move to a non-open, DRM'd web to replace trhe | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | open WWW we had until quite recently. | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | Tiktok is information warfare, especially psyops against the west. | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | That was made 100% clear by the CBS 60-Minutes segment on it a while back. | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | Aside from CBS itself, it got *NO* coverage in the mainstream and almost none | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | even on the fringes. | Jan 22 15:56 |
| techrigthssec | ByteDance is not just mentally crippling a whole generation in the west, | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | it is breaking them off from the continuity of culture and history, rendering | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | them incapable of inheriting the reins when they would otherwise have become | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | old enough for that to have happened. | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | https://www.cbsnews.com/video/tiktok-in-china-versus-the-united-states-60-minutes/ | Jan 22 15:57 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.cbsnews.com | TikTok in China versus the United States | 60 Minutes - CBS News | Jan 22 15:57 | |
| techrigthssec | """ | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | You must connect to your TV Provider to watch this video. | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | """ | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | In contrast, in Red China, Bytedance limits access by youth in two ways. | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | First, instead of maximizing the time spent (I hear of 4, 6 or more hours per | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | day) the kids there are limited to no more than 40 minutes per day. Second, | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | they are shown science and other educational videos, not how to choke themselves | Jan 22 15:57 |
| techrigthssec | to death, knock out their own teeth, or eat dishwasher detergent. | Jan 22 15:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | like i said, i'm all ears about tiktok, netflix etc. ZERO hands-on experience. | Jan 22 15:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I tried "gaming" things the other day in house of fraser | Jan 22 15:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | helped me keep up with "state of the art", hands on literally | Jan 22 15:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was mostly underwhelming | Jan 22 15:58 |
| techrigthssec | If you really are interested in Bytedance/Tiktok, get the above CBS 60-Minutes | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | segment and take detailed notes while watching. | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | Anyway, those 4 to 6 hours per day wasted in bytedance are not just lost | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | they are spend being programmed into who knows what but whatever it is it has | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | no continuity with any culture existing on the planet. | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | Instead of addressing the national security problem head on, the talking | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | heads and pundits blather on and on about "privacy". While privacy is an | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | actual problem, it is only a step along the path. Same for the addictiveness | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | of these skinner boxes, though that is rarely mentioned. It is the active | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | programming done by these adaptive skinner boxes which is as problematic | Jan 22 16:01 |
| techrigthssec | as the group controling the programming. | Jan 22 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | could you make the case trhat this is like us state programming via tv, escept | Jan 22 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | more hours per day | Jan 22 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and alwaysd in the pocket | Jan 22 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and more harmful "content" with little quality control | Jan 22 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and yet worse, intentionally bad things? | Jan 22 16:02 |
| psydruid | I've read that they adapted TikTok/ByteDance to western preferences | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | No, while TV certainly is one-way corporate programming, it is not adaptive | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | to the individual nor highly addictive. | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-726145 | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | Though I do suspect that the TV (incl netflix, hulu, etc) intentionlly spread | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | harmful attitudes and values by design. The whole "reality tv" trope really | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | has modified global society in a bad way: those that excell are not to be | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | emulated but ganged up on and torn down by small people | Jan 22 16:05 |
| techrigthssec | The "reality tv" provides a template for how they can do that | Jan 22 16:05 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-726145 ) | Jan 22 16:05 | |
| techrigthssec | and provides, by being an observed model, encouragement to do so. | Jan 22 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydruid: spinach and opium | Jan 22 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | they use it as a weapon outside China | Jan 22 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | like British opium wars | Jan 22 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | causing the population to be mentally sedated | Jan 22 16:06 |
| techrigthssec | Not just sedated but dependent and injured. | Jan 22 16:07 |
| techrigthssec | At 4+ hours per day it retards actual social and mental development. | Jan 22 16:09 |
| techrigthssec | on purpose. | Jan 22 16:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | if DT si correct, we'll see what youtube's promotion of sex will cause | Jan 22 16:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hadn't heard of this phenomenon before today | Jan 22 16:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | i also don't know how pr0nhub works | Jan 22 16:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and whether they can compete with that thing | Jan 22 16:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | streaming pr0n was always a very bad idea | Jan 22 16:12 |
| techrigthssec | The competition is probably monopoly by now and youtube won't be able to break | Jan 22 16:12 |
| techrigthssec | in and the same old storage costs will bite them anyway | Jan 22 16:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think vimeo, gulagtube etc. are unique in this regad | Jan 22 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | user-uploaded and shared "catalogues" | Jan 22 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | unlike netflix | Jan 22 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think pr0nhub is something more like netflix, or a breed in-between | Jan 22 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | so bandwidth, not storage costs, may cost a lot | Jan 22 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | plus licensing | Jan 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydruid: big match about to start | Jan 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | not watching any of them, just checking the table (points, not goals) | Jan 22 16:15 |
| psydruid | yeah | Jan 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | i herad the 3 goals here | Jan 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | i cannot not hear them | Jan 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | every room | Jan 22 16:15 |
| psydruid | btw, our two wingers anrsd best playe were sold to Liverpool and Chelsea in recent weeks | Jan 22 16:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | i can tell the score just by listening | Jan 22 16:16 |
| psydruid | they have insane amounts of money so they can buy anyone they want | Jan 22 16:16 |
| psydruid | and* | Jan 22 16:16 |
| psydruid | players* | Jan 22 16:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | "our"? | Jan 22 16:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | NL? | Jan 22 16:16 |
| psydruid | PSV Eindhoven | Jan 22 16:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | LFC and Chelsea seem knackered | Jan 22 16:17 |
| psydruid | the club I've supported since I was a child in the late 80s | Jan 22 16:17 |
| psydruid | yes | Jan 22 16:17 |
| psydruid | I saw that one yesterday | Jan 22 16:17 |
| psydruid | it was horrendous | Jan 22 16:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne was loling | Jan 22 16:17 |
| psydruid | all that money gone to waste | Jan 22 16:17 |
| psydruid | it looked like amateur football | Jan 22 16:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe lfc's owner want exit strategy | Jan 22 16:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | gave away their best striker | Jan 22 16:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | for cheap | Jan 22 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | 50 mil iirc | Jan 22 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | fcb paid like 100 for their previous leading striker | Jan 22 16:18 |
| psydruid | it looks like clubs in NL and DE are run much more financially responsibly | Jan 22 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, lfc was planning the sell the club | Jan 22 16:18 |
| psydruid | relying much on youth to break into first teams | Jan 22 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | a decade ago they pursued famous criminal billy as a buyer | Jan 22 16:18 |
| psydruid | and then selling those at profit to clubs with owners who have infinitely sized pockets | Jan 22 16:19 |
| techrigthssec | I've not read an analysis of the business model or costs. | Jan 22 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydruid: tax evasion | Jan 22 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | uk/london | Jan 22 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | buy a club | Jan 22 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | lobby | Jan 22 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | save tax | Jan 22 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | sportwashing | Jan 22 16:19 |
| psydruid | that's what's happening | Jan 22 16:21 |
| psydruid | the difference is that it's done at a massive scale | Jan 22 16:21 |
| psydruid | compared to what happens in minor leagues like romania | Jan 22 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | i stopped watching | Jan 22 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | cold turkey | Jan 22 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't check who scores, either | Jan 22 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have two potent club here | Jan 22 16:23 |
| psydruid | I think football is still a great sport to do | Jan 22 16:23 |
| psydruid | and to watch as well | Jan 22 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | building a positive image | Jan 22 16:23 |
| psydruid | but I think it's better to support the grassroots | Jan 22 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | i've not played in tears | Jan 22 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | since corona | Jan 22 16:23 |
| psydruid | I haven't either | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | i'm a goalie since childhood | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a shame because I want to play | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I rarely see groups here | Jan 22 16:24 |
| psydruid | having had covid three times really makes a difference | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | not even 5-a-side | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | probably too busy with their skinnerboxes | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | in uni we did 5-a-side a lot | Jan 22 16:24 |
| psydruid | I played as a goalkeeper for a few years because I was good at it | Jan 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3 times, wow | Jan 22 16:25 |
| psydruid | but I'm actually a field player | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | like my mom | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | she now has medical concerns | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | phoned me about it 2 hours ago | Jan 22 16:25 |
| psydruid | even during my final year as a goalkeeper I played as a second striker a few times | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | i can do field also | Jan 22 16:25 |
| psydruid | so the reserve goalkeeper went into goal | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but my dribbling is not god enough | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | *good | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, more defence position | Jan 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | or hybrid like ederson | Jan 22 16:26 |
| psydruid | you learn it by playing outside | Jan 22 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | goalies that cannot use the feet well are worthless, esp. in 5 a side\ | Jan 22 16:26 |
| psydruid | I think I just did it for fun with schoolmates | Jan 22 16:26 |
| psydruid | and when I was 8 the local football club came asking my parents to join | Jan 22 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | goalie : field + hands | Jan 22 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | not hands + field | Jan 22 16:26 |
| psydruid | yeah | Jan 22 16:27 |
| psydruid | now more so than back in the day | Jan 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, "modern goalkeeper" | Jan 22 16:27 |
| psydruid | I was called Van der Sar by our captain | Jan 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | the german captain used to take the free kicks | Jan 22 16:27 |
| psydruid | because I was actually a field player who went into goal | Jan 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | kahn | Jan 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and also covered goal | Jan 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | jurgen era | Jan 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | i never stayed only in goal | Jan 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | as that would not let me develop legwork | Jan 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, I still have many dreams about it | Jan 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually goal stuff as a teen | Jan 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it keeps coming back at night | Jan 22 16:28 |

| psydruid | they're playing at the Emirates | Jan 22 16:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | i was just guessing the location | Jan 22 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, weird for us-owned team to have a stadium called that | Jan 22 16:47 |
| psydruid | they've completely sold out anything to do with the club | Jan 22 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | 0-1 United :D | Jan 22 16:50 |
| psydruid | they're finally playing good football again | Jan 22 16:50 |
| psydruid | after almost a decade | Jan 22 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | because ronaldo LEFT | Jan 22 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's when they stopped losing | Jan 22 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | now the "old horse" is in the land of "let's eat camel" | Jan 22 16:51 |
| psydruid | I would say the new Dutch coach has had a hand in it | Jan 22 16:51 |
| psydruid | I like to say that United are cheating a bit | Jan 22 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | he lost the first two games | Jan 22 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | seemed like disaster | Jan 22 16:52 |

| schestowitz-TR | [sic] | Jan 22 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | who was sacked after only 4 games, iirc | Jan 22 16:52 |
| psydruid | it takes time to completely change things | Jan 22 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | shortest coasing career ever | Jan 22 16:52 |
| psydruid | well, De Boer was a disaster | Jan 22 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | was it crystal palance? | Jan 22 16:52 |
