| schestowitz-TR | do the same in TFIR (don't; te videos are dying, too) | Nov 22 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the companies that run LF do NTO want Linux to succeed | Nov 22 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | they want Linux to be CONTROLLED | Nov 22 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and NOT by USERS or COMMUNITIES | Nov 22 11:17 |
| Techrightssec | I refuse to look at anything I know in advance is from spamnil. | Nov 22 11:18 |

| schestowitz-TR | investigating a bit while posting links | Nov 22 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | brainstorming: before tantek went to Googlezilla he had technorati | Nov 22 11:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | circa 2005 it still flourished | Nov 22 11:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | getting a list of blogs and checking when they died might be... interesting | Nov 22 11:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | "they don't do it right" (variety of slants) | Nov 22 11:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | stopped working | Nov 22 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, a few weeks ago or a week back it issues one press release | Nov 22 11:34 |

| schestowitz-TR | so they sank in the rankings | Nov 22 12:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | PSG (Paris) is the most obscene example of paying like quarter billion for one transfer | Nov 22 12:13 |

| Techrightssec | Friedman is representative of the corporate culture over at m$ not an exception. | Nov 22 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | he always swam close to the money | Nov 22 12:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | even as a microsoft intern in the 90s | Nov 22 12:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it was about power and money | Nov 22 12:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | not about any practical contribution to society | Nov 22 12:44 |

| Techrightssec | The spread of disinformation has been essential to their religion. | Nov 22 12:59 |
| Techrightssec | ^ cult | Nov 22 12:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | now they encoruage plagiarising billions of lines of code | Nov 22 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you pay them monthly subscription to help | Nov 22 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | to hide the plgiarism under veil of "HEY HI" | Nov 22 13:00 |
| Techrightssec | It's not the plagiarism they aim for, though they enjoy that. They | Nov 22 13:19 |
| Techrightssec | use it to scrape off the license and make GPL'd and other FOSS code | Nov 22 13:19 |
| Techrightssec | proprietary. | Nov 22 13:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | yes, true | Nov 22 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bit short on topics tbh other than buynothing which is due fri morn | Nov 22 13:22 |

| Techrightssec | Thursday would be better for BND since lead time and planning determines | Nov 22 13:26 |
| Techrightssec | shopping. If people /plan/ in advance to buy, the article is unlikely to | Nov 22 13:26 |
| Techrightssec | affect their plans. However, if the article is in their thoughts while | Nov 22 13:26 |
| Techrightssec | making plans, then it is more likely to effect a change. My 2 cents. | Nov 22 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | i need your help. can you think of a scientific quantitative way to demonstrate demise of blogs in 2020, | Nov 22 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2021, 2022? demise of social control media notwithstanding | Nov 22 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | my feeds have a rule to delete after 30 days since read or retain while unread | Nov 22 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot go far enough backwards | Nov 22 13:27 |
| Techrightssec | Perhaps the feed links in the OPML file could be polled for last update time. | Nov 22 13:29 |
| Techrightssec | No not reading the feeds per se, but polling over HTTP and checking the | Nov 22 13:29 |
| Techrightssec | update time in the XML | Nov 22 13:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | several pitfalls: selection bias (only surviving feeds assessed) | Nov 22 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | scope as long as the length of the feed | Nov 22 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | favouring ones that barely publish | Nov 22 13:30 |
| Techrightssec | yes of course | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | the feeds are not a random sample | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | The OPML file here still has hundreds of defunct blog feeds listed, they have | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | not been culled. | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | The ones that publish only rarely would still count as much as the frequent | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | posts, using the methodology I have in mind. Perhaps there is a better way. | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | However, there is nothing in the standard about how long entries must be | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | retained within a feed. So some feeds have only very recent articles. Others | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | have a mixture of new along with ancient. However, the obviously defunct ones | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | would either respond with HTTP 404 Not Found or else return only really old | Nov 22 13:33 |
| Techrightssec | entries. | Nov 22 13:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | let me check if others already did such research and published some numbers... | Nov 22 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | (not likely; spoiler: nobody seems to measure share of code forges, either) | Nov 22 13:34 |
| Techrightssec | I would not know how to investigate code forges. A confound there is that m$ | Nov 22 13:36 |
| Techrightssec | will (and is doing) it's utmost to hide and obscure data about M$ GitHub and | Nov 22 13:36 |
| Techrightssec | it's loss of projects and accounts. | Nov 22 13:36 |

| schestowitz-TR | apropos, many "news" sites and blogs are in a panic right now | Nov 22 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the lion's share of their followers are in zuckerverse and muskdom | Nov 22 13:45 |

| Techrightssec | The rightful outburst against Nvidia is always used as a distraction from | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | what he said first in that Q & A session: that choosing the GPL was the | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | best decision he ever made regarding the kernel | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | s/kernel/Linux/ | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | I hope (or have an unfounded wish) that the governments and agencies which | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | have been using proprietary Twitter in place of official channels of communication will wise up and change their behavior to resume usi | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | ng and promoting their | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | own official web sites. | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | This kind of even was obvious a hundred miles away and years ago before | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | Twitter even grew big. Using it can be "entertaining" but it should never | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | be allowed to interfere with or replace official channels simply because it | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | cannot. | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | The best possible outcome is that this takes down both. The next best thing | Nov 22 16:47 |
| Techrightssec | would be for Twitter to go down for the count, never to return. | Nov 22 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I agree 99%. | Nov 22 16:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "1%" is, maybe they can download they archive, rehost it, use that as "site archive for that | Nov 22 16:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | idiotic time we used some other site" | Nov 22 16:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon Musk might soon disable downloads as an option | Nov 22 16:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | seeing that many use that to flee for good... with their 'goods' | Nov 22 16:48 |
| Techrightssec | Not really that would still be playing into the agendas of the manipulators | Nov 22 17:24 |
| Techrightssec | calling the shots at Twitter. Even the least harmful approach of making | Nov 22 17:24 |
| Techrightssec | an announcement pointing only to the official pages feeds Twitter and lends | Nov 22 17:24 |
| Techrightssec | it unwarranted credibility. People would assume that because the governments | Nov 22 17:24 |
| Techrightssec | are using it that it is vetted and reliable. There is a lot of projection | Nov 22 17:24 |
| Techrightssec | and magical thinking going on in that regard. The data, and court and | Nov 22 17:24 |
| Techrightssec | congressional testimonties, show that Twitter is unreliable and maniuplative | Nov 22 17:25 |
| Techrightssec | regardless of which agencies are feeding it. | Nov 22 17:25 |
| Techrightssec | Stuff that /was/ in Twitter is gone. People missed their chance to try | Nov 22 17:25 |
| Techrightssec | to download it and as good as 100% of those who did download either have | Nov 22 17:25 |
| Techrightssec | no ability to process the format or not spare time to do so even if they can. | Nov 22 17:25 |
| Techrightssec | Those that have both the ablity, interest, and time are not even a rounding | Nov 22 17:25 |
| Techrightssec | error, I figure. | Nov 22 17:25 |
