| Techrights-sec | I noticed he was s | Feb 23 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | has slowed down. He was one of the last good mainstream journalists | Feb 23 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | not perfect, by far, but overall quite good################# | Feb 23 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | I hope it is not an editorial decision behind that | Feb 23 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | back around 2008 the editor was censoring him | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was confronting jeff waugh, an aussie, over gnome and mono stuff | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | then miguel de icaza | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | then mister gulag | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and others | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and stan beer at the time was trying to curtail his writings a bit iirc | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes they would edefend him thouhg | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | the attacks on rms last year show poor judgment imho | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | spamnil has meanwhile all but ground to a halt | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I was waitingg for | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | at some stage he might realise nobody gives a shit about his openwashing BS | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | this morning itsfodss did some ms github puff | Feb 23 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | one person who never lets me down is marius nestor | Feb 23 10:14 |
| Techrights-sec | LF ought to drop spamnil; he's one of the options which is worse than nothing | Feb 23 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | fossforce has routinely criticised the LF | Feb 23 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | now go to fossforce | Feb 23 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | any page | Feb 23 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | watch at the top | Feb 23 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | my comment is not even needed on this | Feb 23 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | FossForce seems to have become a spam site | Feb 23 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | well, technically it helps a diploma mill for money | Feb 23 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | at one point itsfoss was doing the same | Feb 23 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | still habitually does | Feb 23 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is why I recently noted, in some context or anothjer, that LF is a corruptin | Feb 23 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | g | Feb 23 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | force that sort of poisons sites and interject crap into them | Feb 23 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is also why the coin-operated sjvn puppet spouts out so many BS talking | Feb 23 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | points re sw patents, vmware, Microsoft etc. | Feb 23 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | He wants more coins. "Insert coin" | Feb 23 10:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, it changed years ago and one symptom was eliminiating community membership | Feb 23 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | from the board | Feb 23 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | I feel bad that SJVN did not survive until retirement. He was one of the last | Feb 23 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | good ones until he suddenly went over to say-for-pay. | Feb 23 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Though 20+ years ago, ZDNet had quite GOOD Linux and FOSS coverage. | Feb 23 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | s/Perlow/M$ Perlow/ | Feb 23 10:34 |
| Techrights-sec | LF did not hire him to advance Linux, his background precludes that. | Feb 23 10:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | [10:32] <techrights-news> Yesterday in #zdnet Perlow from #linuxfoundation (and f | Feb 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | ormerly #microsoft !): "I'll assume you already have an antimalware/antivirus sol | Feb 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | ution in place, such as Windows Security, which is built into Windows 10 and Wind | Feb 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | ows 11" (LF spokesperson shilling Windows) | Feb 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | [10:34] <techrights-news> You could joke that the untold goal of the #linuxfounda | Feb 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | tion is to kill off the community enthusiasm around "Linux", making the handover | Feb 23 10:35 |
| Techrights-sec | Unfortunately that is a realistic possibility. | Feb 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | or privatisation by large corporations a lot simpler. | Feb 23 10:35 |

| schestowitz-TR | draft | Feb 23 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | i have just thrown into techbytes a few more redacted notes from work | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think they can be related to | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | by many who in the workplace deal with shitty managers | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | who are pointing fingers at anyone but themselves | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, I've throttled down | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | my work participation even further to about 1 hour of | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | actual work per shift | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | which means around 5, at most, hours per week | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | the net pay, per hour, is good thius way | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and enough to keep me going | Feb 23 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is in irc logs, next time around | Feb 23 13:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | at some point I will also add some github stuff to that | Feb 23 13:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I still need to decide what to shelve, what to do articles about etc. | Feb 23 13:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have thousands of lines | Feb 23 13:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | news has been particularly slow this week, i think presidents day is not an actua | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | l day off, so I am assuming it's just further slowdown, with varghese being | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | an example from australia | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | their website is some mambo or similar fossil | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | not mambo | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot what mambo and that other project became | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe because so few are still using it | Feb 23 13:53 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Feb 23 13:53 |
| Techrights-sec | I did not even notice the "holiday" I think it's just that the free press is | Feb 23 13:53 |
| Techrights-sec | at the end of being killed off | Feb 23 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, I meant joomla | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | drupal might one day be obliterated by wordpress | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course the people who built up WP don't receive recognition | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | mike little | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | alex king | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | karthik | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I ployed a relatively small role | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | but now it's a fucking big company which censoirs, pushes ads, '\freemium'... | Feb 23 13:55 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Feb 23 13:55 |
| Techrights-sec | ... and they use FTP ... | Feb 23 13:55 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Feb 23 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | ftp for software installation and wp code updates isn't even the worst | Feb 23 13:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | of offenders | Feb 23 13:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | I installed wordpress at work last year and it was... oh, where to start??? | Feb 23 13:56 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Feb 23 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec | WP is not a realistic option any more; it looks also like they aim to | Feb 23 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec | make it impossible except for "software as a service" | Feb 23 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't agree with that. They still make it easy to self-host and managed, it serves their interests too... the problem is other companies, which try to make self-hosting hard and web hosting very centralised ("clown") | Feb 23 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec | there are too many design mistakes being added to the already large mess for | Feb 23 14:09 |
| Techrights-sec | it to be much else | Feb 23 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can look up what b2 UI looked like | Feb 23 14:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | i.e. before wordpress took it and 'enhanced'it | Feb 23 14:10 |
| Techrights-sec | I've taken a look at it | Feb 23 14:10 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Feb 23 14:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | even debian outsourced a lot of infra, ci at the least, to gulag | Feb 23 14:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | obv. gulag paid them tons of money, iirc 300k per year r total | Feb 23 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | clown is a bubble because it is being subsidised | Feb 23 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | the long-term risk m is ignored | Feb 23 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | because it's left for future leaders to wrestle with | Feb 23 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you only focus on short-term objectives | Feb 23 14:13 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, too much is outsourced but then new students at the university come in | Feb 23 14:22 |
| Techrights-sec | to their programmes without any experience and then, through M$ infiltration | Feb 23 14:22 |
| Techrights-sec | of the programmes, have not any opportunity to acquire hands on. So their | Feb 23 14:22 |
| Techrights-sec | whole ICT experience is really just using pre-made services and not ever | Feb 23 14:22 |
| Techrights-sec | actually building anything | Feb 23 14:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "building things" means click this, click that, in amazon aws | Feb 23 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the idea of taking some piece of hardware and installing things on it | Feb 23 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | like OS (not "spinning off") is foreign and scary | Feb 23 14:25 |
| Techrights-sec | and prohibited even in a closed lab | Feb 23 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | 0/ | Feb 23 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | otho | Feb 23 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | to put laipstick or slant on it | Feb 23 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the scarcity of such skills may make opportunisties form some | Feb 23 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is, in some cases companies come in and impose on | Feb 23 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | you their outsourced crap, which they overpay for | Feb 23 14:45 |
| Techrights-sec | I would have agreed but experience has shown ignorance and hostility to skills: | Feb 23 14:49 |
| Techrights-sec | "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is in for one hell of a hard time." | Feb 23 14:49 |
| Techrights-sec | People follow trends senselessly and the senseless trend is now to use | Feb 23 14:49 |
| Techrights-sec | proprietary "cloud" services. The "cloud" companies have hidden all of what | Feb 23 14:49 |
| Techrights-sec | used to be commodity systems behind proprietary interfaces which vary even | Feb 23 14:49 |
| Techrights-sec | within the same service providing company. | Feb 23 14:49 |
