| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jun 23 07:23 | |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes HDMI has DRM embedded | Jun 23 07:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it's being sneake in everywhere, in the war on general-purpose computing | Jun 23 07:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | not even one article about coronavirus today | Jun 23 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | the news is rather depressing today | Jun 23 07:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 07:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they're universally ignorig the epidemic and the behaviors which worsen it | Jun 23 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | one rag had a bullshit article blaming "lockdowns" for the economic troubles | Jun 23 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in the UK and ignored the role "Brexit" had in smashing the economy | Jun 23 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | furthermore the news reports continue to ignore the explosive growth | Jun 23 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of overpopulation and the problems, such as climate collapse, it is causing | Jun 23 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | related to water "shortages" and drought, both | Jun 23 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think this is what bothered me the most, not second to the LF spam | Jun 23 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | so started the day, after oversleeping 3.5 hours (alarm did not work) | Jun 23 08:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | with some bad news | Jun 23 08:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least I got many posts on EPO done | Jun 23 08:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I might focus on that for th coming weeks | Jun 23 08:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | since it's an area where we have moire impact | Jun 23 08:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 08:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | EPO posts are important | Jun 23 08:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | especially with the action next week | Jun 23 08:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need a lot of startegic and mental recalibration, I think | Jun 23 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | in light of protocols, issues (threats), economic realities | Jun 23 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and things like social control media along with Gulag Noise being more or less a | Jun 23 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | control mechanism (psydroid just shared a link about BillG spending | Jun 23 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | $100ml to keep Twitter to himself and his buddies) | Jun 23 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | There was a decent blog post (albeit on the proprietary site Medium) about | Jun 23 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the problems of Reddit | Jun 23 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It is blocked by gratuitious javascript but shows some interesting things | Jun 23 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | about the censorship there | Jun 23 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Control mechanisms consist mostly of the public, including much of the tech | Jun 23 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | sector, mistaking social control media for communications tools rather | Jun 23 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | than seeing them for the control and misdirection which they actually are | Jun 23 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought abotu doing an open letter to ItsFOSS, ZDNet/SJVN and FOSSForce | Jun 23 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | to ask them how they deem it ethical that they receive bribes from proprietary software | Jun 23 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | companies to push LF spam and diploma mills | Jun 23 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that would likely just make us fewer allies | Jun 23 08:43 |
| Techrights-sec2 | if you can prove they have bribes from the proprietary software houses ... | Jun 23 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes that would irritate them in the wrong way and while some are now mostly | Jun 23 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | bad they are not yet /all/ bad | Jun 23 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that situation sucks | Jun 23 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | since it is apparent that they are all in a downward spiral, some much further | Jun 23 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | down than the others | Jun 23 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the only solace I have these days | Jun 23 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | is that most of my friends online who do reporting on difficult issues | Jun 23 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | are in vastly worse trouble than me | Jun 23 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least for now | Jun 23 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | that can quickly change if one is not careful | Jun 23 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | :( | Jun 23 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I hope that their situations improve as well as even your own | Jun 23 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | for me, the main nuisance is morale | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I lost track of how many annoying, demorialising, depressing news I saw this morning | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had some more adjectives but forgot them | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, thew LF trash I shelve with editorial comments mostly in TM comments | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | to reduce their visibility | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | in TR they already show up further down in very long pages | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is one of many struggles | Jun 23 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but one that we are bettere equipped to handle | Jun 23 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It's all depressing and one has to become somewhat inured to certtain news | Jun 23 09:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or else it's not possible to wade through it. However, leaving social control | Jun 23 09:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | media is the best way to avoid completely unnecessary toxicity and misinformation / disinformation. | Jun 23 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag News included. Most of the "Linux" security BS came from there | Jun 23 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | not seeing it isn't ideal, as you cannot respond, but the priority should be pro-Linux news finding | Jun 23 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | tbh,m I do NOT know where the Web and Net are going | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | nobody knows for sure, either | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a very multi-dimentional simulation problem | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it seems safer to assume Mozilla will perish and not be bought (foundation, so tricky) | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, what happens to the Web I do not know | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | you sent me a link to the effect of Gulag engs just impkemewnting browser stuff | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and later "standardising" what was implemented | Jun 23 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | This is WebOOXML | Jun 23 09:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The web is in big trouble since the change happened where W3C no longer calls | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the shots but instead merely documents the wishes of Google and Facebook | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The collapse of the cryptocurrencies might be helpful in breaking the | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | "Web3" hype and, if we are lucky, cancel movement in that direction. | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes, they just do what hurts the public while benefiting Google, and only Google, and then document that new behavior as the new standard. They've been | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | doing that so long that it would be very hard to rein them in again. | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | TBL was *no* help in that regard, him and his EME crap. | Jun 23 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just EME. That was just the cherry on top of the shitcake | Jun 23 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | that had been cooking for quite some time already | Jun 23 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | s/cooking/fermenting/ | Jun 23 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | what should we do? broad question, I know... | Jun 23 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | people often ask that | Jun 23 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | when things get really bad, like in recent years | Jun 23 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | they want to do something, but they lack the coordination, even if they can or could mobilise in large groups | Jun 23 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | orf courrse many take that to "social" "media" where their actions are controlled by those whom they oppose | Jun 23 09:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they take to social control media where their ability to communicate is | Jun 23 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | quickly neutralized either through algorithmic interference, shadowbanning, | Jun 23 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or simply chaff from shills | Jun 23 09:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | it looks like epo is about to collapse completely | Jun 23 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | that would mean upc too | Jun 23 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | mobilising most of the insiders can lead to it | Jun 23 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it looks like Campinos pays 6 million europs to lawyers who attack the staff | Jun 23 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe they pay more for union busters | Jun 23 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems like that in light of what we covered last night | Jun 23 09:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | European Patent Convention (real) or European Patent Court (fraud) | Jun 23 09:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ?? | Jun 23 09:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Shedding light on the Union busting is very important | Jun 23 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | need more leaks for that | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | we did 8 posts about EPO last night after you had afk | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | then overslept | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the body knew better than the failing alarm clock | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, here we are | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm looking for ways to tackle the issues | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and tbh we're increasingly ioslated | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | not much help from other orgs | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they perish fast | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | or waste all their time fighting against lawyers | Jun 23 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | notice I've posted 4-5 batches of Daily Links lately | Jun 23 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | in our own little way, by curating with rss, we can do a little to tackle the social control media | Jun 23 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and gulag noise issue, I think | Jun 23 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | we're tiny compared to them | Jun 23 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it's one way we can at least try to peddle in the right direction | Jun 23 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | though the aors move, | Jun 23 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | *oars | Jun 23 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | we'll never managed to get back to the "Web we Had" | Jun 23 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | meanwhile, Linux means nothing (see Linux.com) | Jun 23 09:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | I will write more about covid-19, but it's a race here against vanishing data disclosure | Jun 23 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | that helps highlight a number of key issues like business loybbing ()e.g. aiurlines, hotals) and | Jun 23 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | also aspects related to overpopulation and need to have people commute a lot less, to name just | Jun 23 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | a few issues | Jun 23 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | turning the siwtch "off" on COVID-19 to get back to... war with Russia, is not acceptable | Jun 23 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, (it is conbfusing what they say) this evening they will rel;ease more data. mondays and thurs. | Jun 23 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I may write more. | Jun 23 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | if nobody writes about a topic, e.g. epo, it does not mean this is not important | Jun 23 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | just checked latest wordpress dump, it is OK | Jun 23 10:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I will try doing the remote backups again soon. They have been difficult of | Jun 23 11:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | late, something bogs them down. | Jun 23 11:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | do you know at which end? | Jun 23 11:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not sure but it had been grinding away without progress so | Jun 23 11:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | if I cannot find a way around that, I will look into other options for backup | Jun 23 11:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, I am going to get offsite backups too | Jun 23 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | just had to turn of ipfs here | Jun 23 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | without throttling | Jun 23 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | because it turns out last night thew cron job did not work right | Jun 23 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I overslept | Jun 23 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the IRC post thus produced an empty table | Jun 23 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm working to correct this atm | Jun 23 11:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I ama slso updating the pi atm (mostly vlc-related pacxpackages) | Jun 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | still no kernel update | Jun 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I need to swiutch ipfs on and off\ | Jun 23 11:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | done, wow that one missed alarm did cost a lot of time | Jun 23 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | other than the time overslept ;/ | Jun 23 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | downloading latest DB dumps now | Jun 23 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | won't include any of the file system :/ | Jun 23 11:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | trying backups now | Jun 23 12:20 |
| Techrights-sec2 | did not work | Jun 23 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I understand it or guess, rsync is bruce-forcing shecksums of portions of files or whole files | Jun 23 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it is very i/o intensive | Jun 23 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just rsynched uploads directory for the year | Jun 23 12:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | 670MB total | Jun 23 12:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I wonder if slowing it down /a lot/ might help | Jun 23 12:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am guessing that with LUKS scanning contiguous blocks would be a lot less efficienct than, say, the server side | Jun 23 12:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know how full disk encyrption works in practice | Jun 23 12:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | slowing it down does not help ... | Jun 23 12:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | trying with --inc-recursive instead ... | Jun 23 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | If you track bugs via rss feeds, maybe you saw a similar issue associated with a particular new version? | Jun 23 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | hard to believe rsync was not fully tested with encryption partitions | Jun 23 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the problem has persisted since the autumn, iirc | Jun 23 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec2 | this is not lennertware but lennertware is upstream :/ | Jun 23 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'll try with a different architecture but need to add a bunch of packages | Jun 23 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec2 | seems to work on Linux 5.15.32-v8+ aarch64 | Jun 23 13:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | without problem, perhaps the problem is limited to x86_64 :( | Jun 23 13:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that's annoying | Jun 23 13:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the files are 1.3 GB in size | Jun 23 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, it's good to have offsite backups too | Jun 23 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | not that there's any tension at present | Jun 23 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but trusting that one raid is "thoughts and prayers" | Jun 23 13:25 |

| schestowitz-TR | lol, the employer kicked the can another 2.5 weeks down the road | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | so typical | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's spun as good news | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | "new sales" | Jun 23 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | bizarre | Jun 23 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it sure looks like terrible management | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | this snail pace may mean it'll take months before I start with new capacity/role | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but comes to show what terrible timetables/planning these "managers" can adhere to | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or why they lose both staff and clients | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they make wrong assumptions about their actions and reputation | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I won't say this to their face | Jun 23 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | sareenGaz was the worse (SarinGas) | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | or worst rather | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | she drove out some important workers | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | by being herself | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | in turn, when you lose such staFF, you can also lose clients | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the NHS | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then, instead, bring in companies that I'd rather see offline and with severe data loss | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would be better for society | Jun 23 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | credit to rianne though | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | she does work hard (covering extra for a colleague tonight, 1-9am) | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we have OK savings and that reduces anxiety | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wanted to leave around end of last year as I was arguing a lot with management and it got me angry | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and some clients we added I refused to work for | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and wanted to distance myself by passing to colleagues like they're the "unethical" so-called 'shabos goy' | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | thjat does not work in thre long run | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I think we 'lost' 2 of the worst clients | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hope so | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | just earlier today they said we had lost a client | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then comes the "good news" message about "new sales" | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I learned to reas through their BS many years ago | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I'm no shareholder, I barely even give a shit nor am I attached to it like a uni faculty, | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we "milk on" | Jun 23 18:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 18:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | good that at least the two worst are gone, hopefully some more palatable ones | Jun 23 18:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | will be picke up instea | Jun 23 18:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | too bad they bullshit so much | Jun 23 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | some new clients are universities and maybe something that restores morale | Jun 23 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | but tbh, I quit giving a shit back in 2018 (SarinGas) | Jun 23 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | since then it was like 'sex witout emotion' | Jun 23 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | just cashing in and minding our own business with the sites | Jun 23 18:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | Yes! | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | The company SHOULD be avoided | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | as investor | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | or jos seeker | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I mentioned it in the last meeting | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | that we're an extremely unattractive employer (not in these words) | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if you can get in one hour's actual work done enough to earn about 100 pounds after tax (and NHS, pension etc) it's hard to justify leaving | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | a friend and my father as well said it's hard to justify leaving and that owing to experience gained we're in this position, as a couple even | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the skills aren't too far from techrights stuff, so there's something to be learned too | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | \ | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I just really didn't want to be associated with some of those companies | Jun 23 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and a whislteblower told me inside stories about one of them | Jun 23 18:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | I am very surprised reddit survivied this long | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | it used to compete against digg | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | digg was bigger | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | digg fiolded very fast | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe lack oif business model | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | or low user retention | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then reddit veered in some other direction | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe made money by the shilling | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | back then (digg still arouund) it marketed IE9 for/with Microsoft | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | people still thouht all this AMA crap was grassroots | Jun 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just "screen time" or "links" for sale | Jun 23 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 18:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of "copilot" spam this week | Jun 23 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | for a shallow reason | Jun 23 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am tempted to do the series again | Jun 23 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it does not tie into the "announcement" | Jun 23 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | I want to see where Miguel and Nat rear their ugly head | Jun 23 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 23 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes they will, unfortunately | Jun 23 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | they WILL be back | Jun 23 18:21 |

| Techrights-sec2 | they are nothing if not tenacious in their cult | Jun 23 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | it took them a while | Jun 23 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | if at first you fail... | Jun 23 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also had a run at OSI | Jun 23 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and at Raspi | Jun 23 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | to some extent they succeeded at least twice | Jun 23 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could make a timeline for each | Jun 23 18:45 |

| schestowitz-TR | we just need to keep hammering away at themn | Jun 23 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a big target | Jun 23 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | so needs a ton of hammering | Jun 23 18:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | includes un, wipo, wto, uspto, and lots of corporations with their law firms | Jun 23 18:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | EPO = european branch (one of few) of an international hydra | Jun 23 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | the good thing is, by exposing EPO crimes we also expose corruption in many of these other, closely connected institutions | Jun 23 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. some governments, .e.g EU/EC and Germany | Jun 23 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | people inside observed and documented those things for decades and now they spill out what they learned | Jun 23 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes it appears that the corruption is interrelated | Jun 23 18:54 |

| schestowitz-TR | like I said in the video today, while reading a golf book I saw some golfer wearing FTI Consulting hat | Jun 23 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | sponsorshipo | Jun 23 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I recalled how many milklions in bribes EPO passed for them to game the press | Jun 23 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and when I got a call from a German politician FTI Consulting was mentioned | Jun 23 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have deep pockets | Jun 23 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they can buy the press, media etc. | Jun 23 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | small companies and countries cannot afford that | Jun 23 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | for one small revelation we expose they might have to spend a folrtune on "damage control" | Jun 23 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | ICBM lost a ton of goodwill in recent years and staff of Red Hatr is fleeing | Jun 23 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | serves them right | Jun 23 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | they took on reddit and 'hacker' noise to attack me personally | Jun 23 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | to prevent people linking to TR | Jun 23 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is the "shit we're up against" | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Daniel P too for that matter | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | they control the press, the politicians, but there's a limit to how much lying the population can absorb | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | so then they try to take you out of Twitter | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on something they found from years ago | Jun 23 19:00 |

| schestowitz-TR | like you said, it's a political tactic | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | rile up the oppositioin | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they start saying f this and f that | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then you use that for eternity | Jun 23 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | like ballmer "monkey dance" | Jun 23 19:00 |

| schestowitz-TR | The article is only based on some self-selecting survey (easy to game) and used by Microsoft booster Richard Speed to promote Microsoft's agenda.

| schestowitz-TR | as a student I dreamt sof the day we have something like Gulag Street View | Jun 23 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | but did not envision it would be 1) privatised 2) spyware | Jun 23 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other thing was, sometimes to organise my photos by scanning and understganding what's and who's in them | Jun 23 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | that too barely became a reality | Jun 23 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | people still cannot find photos easy without lots of meta and long file names of many layers of filing | Jun 23 19:40 |
