| schestowitz-TR | activelow is back | Jun 22 09:55 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | but not bringing up politics anymore | Jun 22 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | must have realised it was a collision course | Jun 22 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | perhaps but at least the behavior is better | Jun 22 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse case scenario, the person who call us "isms" and links to IRC logs starts calling us nazis or something | Jun 22 10:16 |
| Techrights-sec2 | i notice it's back and trolling again | Jun 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | boredom or a sense of a lack of fulfillment with life/career | Jun 22 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | (imho) | Jun 22 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | notice he barely blogs anymore | Jun 22 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | but has hours to spare on an irc channel where he's not even welcomed | Jun 22 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, he/it is just trolling | Jun 22 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was amused by the defense of spamnil | Jun 22 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if I'm supposed to only make positive remarks | Jun 22 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | even on paid liars who help, for a PAYMENT, vmware cover up abuses against Linux | Jun 22 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, nils torvalds has a youtube channel and the number of views is similar to spamnil's (sans the paid click/click fraud) | Jun 22 10:19 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'm not surprised but cannot imagine the convoluted arguments which would be | Jun 22 10:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | required for the defense of spamnil both as a person and as representing | Jun 22 10:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the LF attack against Linux | Jun 22 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | with spamnil the transition did not happen overnight | Jun 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | it keeps getting worse and worse | Jun 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | the click fraud started 1-2 months ago | Jun 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | a sign of sdesperation | Jun 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | far that people would realise they wasted their time on his "show" | Jun 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | *fear that | Jun 22 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it did not happen overnight but did happen quickly enough and there were warning | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | signs aplenty even back in his muktware days; I simply did not trust him from | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the start | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | LF does not care if no one reads his crap or watches his "show", that is the | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | goal -- drive down the reputation of Linux and the LF in the public so that | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not only does no one care for it any more there is at least minor antipathy | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | so that they can then exploit schadenfreude as they continue to damage | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the brand. LT still holds the trademarks but they seem to have his balls in a | Jun 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | vice or something | Jun 22 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF 2007: let's stop war | Jun 22 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF 2016: let's change the system from within | Jun 22 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF 2022: war is not as bad as we thought | Jun 22 10:24 |

| schestowitz-TR | I said 2016 for a reason | Jun 22 10:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2007 (foundation)... they manipulate wikipedia to lie... and to say 2000 | Jun 22 10:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2022 is just present | Jun 22 10:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but rianne and I decided to speak out in Feb 2019 | Jun 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 10:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | a couple of months later, linux.com, which rianne liked (it was beginner friendly), was nuked by Zemlin and the kakis | Jun 22 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | so were were not far off | Jun 22 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it was in the tram that we decided being "patient" with LF wasn't an option anymore | Jun 22 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forget what they had done just before that | Jun 22 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I think lots of Microsoft andf GitHub money was involved | Jun 22 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes the site linux.com used to be really good for outreach and promotion | Jun 22 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the anti-FOSS strategies often rely on delays and misguided tolerance | Jun 22 10:31 |

| schestowitz-TR | I used to look up names of the still-living | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | not Roblimo or Joe Barr | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | but Gasperson and Lisa Hoover | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | people who were paid well to produce good articles | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | bbyfield is barely visible anymore | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | soon to join: "Gardiner" | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | tbh, youtube screws them very badly | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they extend to lbry | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | which then becomes odysee | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then gives them not many views | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then promotes "far in jar" videos in the front page | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is why lunduke quit and deleted everything there | Jun 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | even the article where he explained what went wrong with the site after he had shilled for it so hard | Jun 22 10:35 |
| Techrights-sec2 | again, the current purpose of that address appears to be to degrad the | Jun 22 10:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | kernel and the GPL and to turn people negative towards Linux in general | Jun 22 10:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Joe Barr was great but there are still questions about his demise IMHO | Jun 22 10:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ZDNet had a lot of great journalist doing excellent work covering FOSS and | Jun 22 10:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | GNU/Linux about 20 years ago. | Jun 22 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | zdnet's "linux" page atm: 2 articles in past week, both of them yesterday | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | sjvn boosting SBOM BS. | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | which likely means it was an LF assignment 'article' | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF has an event this week | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of crap coming out | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. the snyk thing | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF learned to love the FUD | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and concern-troll the thing that's the first word in their name | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot forgive them when they keep doing this | Jun 22 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | nope | Jun 22 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they have to reform their behavior first | Jun 22 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | that will never happen | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought about doing a video, but a lot of these particular aspects were covered before | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like they have a list of 10 ways to suck | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and each week they pick one and start or resume sucking again | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | until Linux runs out of "juice" | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | this week trhry managed to compel Torvalds to speak of rust as if, this is OK, I can learn to live with this | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | he never wanted or asked for this | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was lobbied for years | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually from Microsoft-connected sites and Gulag played a big role too | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they shoehorn this as a "security" thing | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but colour me sceptical given their track recoprd and the size of the darn thing | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I downloaded it to laptops in an effort to compile some gemini programs I was astounded that I was running out of disk space | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the kernel (linux, kernel.org) runs on some very miniature devices | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe not for long | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's becoming like running Microsoft Office 2050 Pro Plus Deluxe to just write a fucking letter to the local council | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the bloat manifests itself in bugs, complexity of deployment, development etc. | Jun 22 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so some companies will explore something else, e.g. for pi pico | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this worries me | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the oither kernels are less freedom-centric, bloat aside | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and LF ALREDY pushes utter shite like zephyr | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then jperlow writes a logjng long post about how LF is NOT about Linux anymore | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems to me like he left LF some time ago | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | his name never shows up, even in the CMS meta | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | they hire some new guy, who knows more about English grammar than anything technical | Jun 22 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | like in epo, they also downgraded the necessary qualifications | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | say what you will about jperlow, he was not stupid and he's very technical | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | sooner or later dev houses that do embedded dev will need to study and use rust "chains" (bloat) | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | or they could choose some other kernel and kick this github mothball to the curb | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least like mozilla, LF will go into the subset with an extensive portfolio of fluff about people | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | with a lot of skin colours and sometimes rainbows | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | to linux, this serves no purpose, it is time-wasting and off-putting due to a divisive | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | nature of those things (in the technical world people are not so passionately divided) | Jun 22 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | /s/subset/sunset/ | Jun 22 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | brb | Jun 22 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | today I saw a bsd blog from your list/blogroll that said this article is also in gemini | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think prior to it only devault did this | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe solene also | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | devault is going through a tough time, so he put aside some projects | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini is now 3+ years old | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | we started in early 2021 | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's still growing so the effort has paid off | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | risky and speculative | Jun 22 11:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes it looks like there is growing awareness | Jun 22 11:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes TR was in reasonably early | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it was a good call | Jun 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | strategic timing: when firefox (and its dependents die) | Jun 22 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | people will look for alternatives | Jun 22 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to show them alternative protocols, not alternative browsers | Jun 22 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | for most things pages are enough | Jun 22 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the rest is cruft | Jun 22 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | today I think that, unless epo has major news, I will improve the capsule | Jun 22 11:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | firefox will have its next crisis soon; iirc the current google infusion | Jun 22 11:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | expires in 2023 | Jun 22 11:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, you told me several days ago | Jun 22 11:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but they probably prepare accordingly | Jun 22 11:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ahead of time | Jun 22 11:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | we are somewhat limited by lack of cgi support, but it's not a big deal | Jun 22 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I noticed some people get too creative with certificates and implement games | Jun 22 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | that only work with rather advanced gemini clients | Jun 22 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm not sure it's something to be embraced tbh | Jun 22 11:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not so important | Jun 22 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | however thunderbird getting cut out of GMail for all practical purposes | Jun 22 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | has been bad | Jun 22 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | i'd say the complexity is important to avoid | Jun 22 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | email has been mostly besieged not by gmail et al (Microsoft is a lot smaller) | Jun 22 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but by social control media, the "private" messages there, and all those "messasing" | Jun 22 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | "appe" for so-called "phones" | Jun 22 11:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | via social control media; the instigators against it remain M$ and Alphabet | Jun 22 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | mind you, curiously enough both ulag and msft tried to become big in social control media | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | several times in fact | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | microsoft spent funny money | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and still failed at it | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag created several of its own | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and found false pretences to mothball the things | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but gulaqg still have a massive social control network called gulagtube | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | which it bought while it was at the toip | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | rathere than created | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | than ran at a loss like MSFT does with shithub | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I take no gratification in the bailouts received (gulag with maven) | Jun 22 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but in the observation that they cannot quite make money | Jun 22 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | only pretend to | Jun 22 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they are surfing the wallet (debt) of other people | Jun 22 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag does make a lot of money, but not all the pots are cash positive | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | their "clown" BS is way behind and causing massive losses | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube is hard to get current numbers on | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | just approximiations | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | way to fake one's true reach and size | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | use the cash surplus to buy things | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if they don't make money, just increase headcount | Jun 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | shareholders love to think everything will magically turn from trash to cash | Jun 22 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I still wonder about Youtube's profitability and it's real priorities | Jun 22 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | untested theory: windows back doors for contracts (graft) | Jun 22 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube political censorhsip and social engineering for more like Maven | Jun 22 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | which even a lot of gulag employees oppose | Jun 22 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they thought their 6-figure salaries were paid by ads LOL | Jun 22 11:52 |
| schestowitz | In "Bill Gates: An ISV that writes to COR is just f*cked" gemini://gemini.techrights.org/wiki/ the * causes a bug | Jun 22 11:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes I would expect so: nothing works well on windows except the bugdoors | Jun 22 11:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and backdoors | Jun 22 11:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Google has more thorough activity tracking though | Jun 22 11:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag's installedbase is a lot bigger, about twice as big as Windows owing to the spy in people's pocket that must stay on 24/7 | Jun 22 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and has more and more sensors on it over time | Jun 22 11:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes and on top of that there is all the web searching, gstatic, captchas, and | Jun 22 11:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | gmail + various "services" | Jun 22 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | re billg example, it is not the only one | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a special or edge case | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I might be able to create category pages, looking into feasibility | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | it looks like category pages might simply replicate, poorly, what we already have in some dedicated wiki pages | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | I want to make it easier to find/"dicover" old artcieles | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | because we have so many | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | doing search without cgi is possible | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | in an awkward kind of way | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | using a web requests which crafts a gemtext results page | Jun 22 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that would expose other people's search history | Jun 22 12:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | checking the gemini bug ... | Jun 22 12:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I would think that CGI would be best to avoid on Gemini | Jun 22 12:17 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I'm not sure there is evidence of him selling out, but something equivalent has | Jun 22 15:35 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or appears to have happened | Jun 22 15:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | this to me, is like 5th strike for him. | Jun 22 15:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe he's just becoming the grumpty sjvn of "opsec" | Jun 22 15:36 |
| *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Jun 22 15:36 | |
| schestowitz-TR | he is giving lectures, as per a post a few days ago, alongside corporations you would hardly consider credible in security | Jun 22 15:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that is no "smoking gun" | Jun 22 15:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | then we have an irc 'geneticist' posting as security guru | Jun 22 15:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | "i can't code, but I have blue hair" | Jun 22 15:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | oh my | Jun 22 15:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | then it looks like he is just selling the brand until it loses all value | Jun 22 15:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there's been nothing new out of him for years | Jun 22 15:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the poseur sells the message that the kakistocracy wishes peddled to the public | Jun 22 15:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | a veneer of technical competence coving over a depth of lies and bullshit | Jun 22 15:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | he can code a bit, but uses those skills to undermine the legitimacy of | Jun 22 15:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | real security intitiatives | Jun 22 15:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | look at #techbytes tonight/tomorrow morning | Jun 22 15:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I have a good grasp now of the methods used | Jun 22 15:42 |

| Techrights-sec2 | yes it has | Jun 22 17:33 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the whole Biden administration has been covering for M$ | Jun 22 17:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | same as trump | Jun 22 17:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | same as obama | Jun 22 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | same as bush | Jun 22 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | during clinton at least bill did something about the othe r"lolita bill" | Jun 22 17:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | obama eventually pushed back a little but not enough nor in time | Jun 22 17:39 |

| Techrights-sec2 | "accidentally" followed a link to nitter today, it led to a real toxic waste | Jun 22 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | dump of bad ideas; it's probably six months since I last did that and it seems | Jun 22 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | far worse than I remember | Jun 22 19:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | very low yield | Jun 22 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and vet high liklihood of brain pollution | Jun 22 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | people write there stuff they cannoty write in articles | Jun 22 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | because those things are false or baseless | Jun 22 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the other day emptyweheel | Jun 22 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | citing a tweet | Jun 22 19:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | saying you can charge trump for trying to kill pence | Jun 22 19:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | even pence would likely oppose such a charge | Jun 22 19:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | but someone wrote some "teet" | Jun 22 19:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | marcy wheeler turned that into 'article' | Jun 22 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 19:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | low yield, as in actually no useful links at all. gave up after 20 minutwes | Jun 22 19:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and felt bad about wasting time with such drivel. It's harmful and dangerous | Jun 22 19:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that officials and agencies use "tweets" in place of official communications | Jun 22 19:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | because that feeds the beast and lends it an unearned air of legitimacy | Jun 22 19:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure if you saw what I'm alluding to from marcy wheeler | Jun 22 20:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it made me think a lot and roll my eyes | Jun 22 20:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, you'll notice in irc too I rarely cite anything "social media" | Jun 22 20:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | it cost us a lot in terms of productivity | Jun 22 20:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | if it wasn't for this nasty headache today, I'd be more productive | Jun 22 20:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | IU slept it off just now | Jun 22 20:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | we'll catch up soon | Jun 22 20:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | some idiots ran a bot in irc and left it running amok | Jun 22 20:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I even banned the wrong user by accident | Jun 22 20:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | <techrights-news> "This brings me to how Twitch in particular will or won’t get by. Over the last year or so, it has become obvious that their corporate overlords at Amazon want Twitch to get serious about making a profit." gemini://pennywhether.xyz/articles/recession-twitch.gmi | Jun 22 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | Remember how I told you on Friday they said we'd say something next week? | Jun 22 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's end of Weds now | Jun 22 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | not a work | Jun 22 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | they're like 1.5 weeks beyond the promised time | Jun 22 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | *now a word | Jun 22 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne and I thought about leaving months already | Jun 22 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | before they even said anything to the whole teamn | Jun 22 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | seeing that it had gone the wrong way for years | Jun 22 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | but was getting yet worse this year | Jun 22 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | but seeing the economy out there right now, job openings, inflation etc. | Jun 22 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to think carefully | Jun 22 20:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | profit on top of mass maniuplation of public opinion | Jun 22 20:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes there were a few items in the queue | Jun 22 20:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | how is the naturalization paperwork progressing? | Jun 22 20:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | we'll start around august | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | having that job is extra help | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | citizienship is also extra help | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | but neither is essential | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | given how low our expenses are, plus (for now) health insurance, which I assume they sometimes tie to a job, | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | this causes no stress at all | Jun 22 20:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | excellent | Jun 22 20:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | having said that, there are moral issues associated with this job as it stands right now | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I could choose, I'd say let her work and leave me off the hook or extra for holiday covers | Jun 22 20:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon, if circumstances change, here or there (the company), I can ask for more hours again | Jun 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a tap, or associate, or "gig economy", except better conditions | Jun 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm still off work till saturday | Jun 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | need video and article idea | Jun 22 20:12 |

| schestowitz-TR | Daily Links eta 5 mins | Jun 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | headache gone compltely | Jun 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | paracetamol did not help | Jun 22 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | sleep did | Jun 22 20:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | gig is a ripoff | Jun 22 20:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Saturday is Midsummer Day | Jun 22 20:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that's how it usually goes :/ | Jun 22 20:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Can more be said about the upcoming EPO Staff action> | Jun 22 20:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ? | Jun 22 20:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Or about Debian and trademarks? | Jun 22 20:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ^ if public | Jun 22 20:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, yes, not I can finally talk about the TM issue | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I've not done a video about this case in a whole | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I said I would | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | though I said I'd do one when the cases is finished | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | they must be spending a ton of money on that | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it looks like it's going nowhere | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | see the very latest in his PERSONAL site | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | with torvalds photo op | Jun 22 20:16 |
| Techrights-sec2 | :\ | Jun 22 20:16 |
| Techrights-sec2 | wasted money, time, and rep | Jun 22 20:16 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 22 20:16 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the SFI is new (to me) | Jun 22 20:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a clever legal hack/.trick | Jun 22 20:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it really pisses off those who try to gag him | Jun 22 20:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it's not a person but an org | Jun 22 20:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | "Director of Debianism" | Jun 22 20:19 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes if he set up the org / corporation correctly it will be more powerful | Jun 22 20:19 |
| Techrights-sec2 | than they are | Jun 22 20:19 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the CoCs are certainly not about diversity of thought and even more against | Jun 22 20:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | skill, experience, and talent | Jun 22 20:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the submission looks like "preview" or template | Jun 22 20:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if only quotes some bits | Jun 22 20:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know a lot more but am admittedly afraid of the sys admin's wrath | Jun 22 20:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | so had to juggle just two items at a time | Jun 22 20:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | doing this 'under the radar' is possible | Jun 22 20:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | to an extent | Jun 22 20:27 |
