| schestowitz-TR | put away, covered, bicycle and garden furnishing till march or thereabouts | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | we did manage to find some foods, but finding discounts got very hard | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not as good, either | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | still doable | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | also got in the post a letter about further big increases in energy prices | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | despite modest decreses in usage we expect price to be double in a matter of 2 years | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | if one has a car (petrol) and children, this is magnified bya lot | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and car ownership if connected to kids as they cannot walk long distances | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on what I read and hear, we are lucky | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the vindication is there, some mistakes cannot be undone | Sep 23 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | --- | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | several points | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) fruit is hard to find at low prices since months ago | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | not related to covid-19, maybe brexit lost us fruit pickers and imports | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) we did check prices of energy from other supplers earlier this year; turns out ours is already at the lower scale, maybe cheapest | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2a) our friends who are a couple pay more than double | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2b) i turn off some things now when afk (unlike before) | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) yesterday in irc i said that the more "sophisticated" (didn't say smart; the word became misleading) a car gets | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the more expensive or hard it is to repair | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | some you can no longer tweak or fix yourself like a bicycle (like getting some parts off ebay, unscrewing etc) | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 4) apropos, i read (quickly) the link about finland importing liquified russian gas | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are so desperate they literally subsidise an aggressive, insane neighbour | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | bu t worry not, microcloth will warm up the homes | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | by running some datacentres (pentagon spying apparatus) on solar ;-) in winter ;-) it runs on air!! | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 5) mechanics are dishonest also because few are independent | Sep 23 16:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are pressured to meet "targets" | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the agencies are connected to the makers, which cannot sell many "new products" so instead milk existing clientele | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | like apple sending price on a steep spike because they cannot sell many anymore (so price unit changed, or "app" ... 'maintenance') | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course they blame "supply chain" to buy time from impatient shareholders... like how FB's shares tanked | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | impacts morale, too | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the price of energy is no laughing matter | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | to some people they say it is "eye-watering" | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | "I CAN'T PAY IT *looking for shouldee rto cry on*" | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we practice reducing usage and reusing energy | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | like cooking more things at once in a smaller oven | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | making showers shorter (gas-based boiler) | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | from what I saw, our energy suppler changed the rate for electricty from 17/unit about 2 years ago to 32 or 35 | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | i don't watch gas closely; gas is used a lot less here (only water heating) | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think that's all for now | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still put finance news in the main TR channel as it is an urgent matter | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I added number above to make referencing easier | Sep 23 16:05 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 23 16:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | now the news cycle talks about making cities more efficient | Sep 23 16:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avert any discussion of cities being massive consumers of energy partly because they're a massive concentration | Sep 23 16:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | of "human biomass" | Sep 23 16:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | which needs heat and more... food.. fertiliser, transport... | Sep 23 16:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | the only solution sounds like incitement to genocide rather than birth control | Sep 23 16:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe if we use terms like "biomass" (like ants) for dramatic effect | Sep 23 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | people will start paying more attention | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wonder what % of mammels is humans who cannot even warm themselves where they reside or easily overheat in summar | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | *summer | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the queen is now dead (we will need to cash in our 2000 or so in coins!) | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so delusions of grandeur go away | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the suffering is coming home, too | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | coming home to roost | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | starting with domestic "peasants" and plebs | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | they will not tolerate the parasites at the top | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | they will pass more laws | Sep 23 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | to us, the digital laws are relevant | Sep 23 16:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 23 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec | much of the privatized car ownership will have to be eliminated from the cities | Sep 23 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec | and even for visitors to the cities if things are to balance in time | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | decimated too | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | or more public transport | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | for families it means being better balanced on budget and more robust to changes in prices | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think by year's end not many publishers will stay | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | eff is becoming a "big business" lobby like LF | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | they don't do what they were meant to do | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | to survive they get absorbed by the enemy | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | like canonical with GAFAM | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then they say "success" | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | while disgusted people walk away | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | like happened to novell | Sep 23 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec | I wonder if or how long the FreeBSD foundation or even the OpenBSD Foundation | Sep 23 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec | can hold out before following the sell-out model that the EFF and LF have | Sep 23 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec | chosen to follow. | Sep 23 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF is already imploding a bit | Sep 23 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | part of that is a lack of events, due to covid-19 | Sep 23 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | 40 million a year iirc | Sep 23 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they have no grassroots support anymore | Sep 23 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they will suck up harder and hardeer to github etc. | Sep 23 16:23 |
| Techrights-sec | One of the things that the FreeBSD Foundation has worked hard at is to ensure | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | that there are many small donors, too, not just big ones. They may not be | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | the source of the most money but they seem to be enough, for now, to prevent | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | some of the less scrupulous donord from walking all over the project and looting | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | it. | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | There were two relevant (old) articles linked to today or yesterday regarding | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | the danger of M$ GitHub to projects and to the community in general. | Sep 23 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | I'd rather the LF expel the microsofters, microsoft apologists, and | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | GPL-abusers in a reform. I recall about 10 years ago, Linus gave that | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | famous Q&A session where he swore at Nvidia and then commented about the GPL | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | choice being his best decision ever. Giving the finger to Nvidia on camera | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | got a lot of attention, but his bosses at LF, and their bosses, probably | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | decided that they would have to do him in over the GPL support at that point. | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | Bruce Perens pointed out that the LF had become more or less a GPL infringers' | Sep 23 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | club. | Sep 23 16:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF does damage | Sep 23 16:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need to reciprocate the damage | Sep 23 16:41 |
| Techrights-sec | They are helping Google / Alphabet and M$ to render the kernel moot. | Sep 23 16:43 |
| Techrights-sec | The latter through restricted boot and OEM monopolies, the former through | Sep 23 16:43 |
| Techrights-sec | their monopoly on smartphones and similar devices which, once the courts clear, | Sep 23 16:43 |
| Techrights-sec | will move quickly to Fuchsia. | Sep 23 16:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | seconds ago, while multitasking, I added an update abour Framework Chromebook | Sep 23 16:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | some people who tried that said it sucked | Sep 23 16:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure they really tried it hands-on | Sep 23 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they were in a podcast connected to Microsofters | Sep 23 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so maybe just the usual badmouthing | Sep 23 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | like wsl boosting | Sep 23 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | this week you can really see who's serious about 'linux' | Sep 23 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and who is a pretender or totally clueless (wsl trash) | Sep 23 16:44 |
| Techrights-sec | Framework has gotten otherwise good reviews | Sep 23 16:44 |
| Techrights-sec | so unless there is something specific to ChromeOS I am suspicious of such | Sep 23 16:44 |
| Techrights-sec | outlier reviews. | Sep 23 16:44 |
| Techrights-sec | Canonical is no longer serious. | Sep 23 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | framework and several toehrs are subsidised by someones | Sep 23 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | to seed faker reviews | Sep 23 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could name others, but not important for irc (informal) | Sep 23 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's very easy to tell when a review is real | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | phoronix quit being serious | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | i was thinking today when cycling that all those that are funded by VC and ebt | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | they will be forced to sell out | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | even against their will | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | ads, corporate cash, anytrhing! | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are not REALLY in chargwe in any sense | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | like om malik (gigaom) | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they dislike their own decisions | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe linus still doesn't trust rust | Sep 23 16:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, the loss of Phoronix was sad. | Sep 23 16:47 |
| Techrights-sec | VC tends to insist on sw patents, iirc | Sep 23 16:47 |
| Techrights-sec | and almost prefer liquidation / bankruptcy to a successful launch | Sep 23 16:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Maybe it's less work or less paperwork or a faster, but smaller, return on | Sep 23 16:47 |
| Techrights-sec | the investment. | Sep 23 16:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the goal is all along a shutdown | Sep 23 16:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | need to chase the financial chain | Sep 23 16:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Yeah pump-and-dump is an accepted tactic by some. IPO-and-crash is a variant. | Sep 23 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | got KGs of soft mozarella cheese today almost quarter price | Sep 23 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | any saving can be used to sustain the sites | Sep 23 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it takes more effort to find these | Sep 23 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | we checked small fridges last weekend | Sep 23 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they are expensive to buy, even "on the cheap" | Sep 23 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then you pay to operate them | Sep 23 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | the rpcies of eggs here is INSANE | Sep 23 17:01 |
| Techrights-sec | Small fridges are very inefficient, energywise. There is an optimal size, | Sep 23 17:02 |
| Techrights-sec | for home use, but that optimal size is substantially larger than 'small' | Sep 23 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, we need sauce for some of these | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe monday we can get missing ingredients | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have lots of lasagne sheets in the freezer | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but need more stuff | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm going to record in a bit | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | news has slowed down for the friday | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | i need to produce more articles/day but am struggling | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | to make enough time for it | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | not too sure why | Sep 23 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | i doin't want to sayu lost or wasted time in irc | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | but i think it was a big part of that lately | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | many still envy a thriving irc channel | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and more so a good irc NETWORK | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it also gives a human cloud to the site | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | otherwise iot's a site writing to itself | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and lack of feedback can reduce morale | Sep 23 17:11 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, the IRC *network* part is the most significant aspect. I am saddened | Sep 23 17:11 |
| Techrights-sec | that the EFF and FSF don't have their own or share their own | Sep 23 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | i was wrong | Sep 23 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | the chef says we do have the neede ingredient | Sep 23 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | except the cheese type is not ideal | Sep 23 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the one in a bag with water/brine | Sep 23 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | we'll see.. | Sep 23 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have too many sheets in the freezer, good opportunity to make space there | Sep 23 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | -- | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | she says ok | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it'll be vegetarian | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have enough for 2 or more | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | i start work in 15 mins | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | will still post tm news | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag noise (voice, not news) failed to function yesterday | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the asterisk phone is a lot more reliable | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | so i wrote in public it's a "broen product" | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | *broken | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | not my problem, i'm not s shareholder | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can die in the clown | Sep 23 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | "we died, but we did it in style with all the trendy shit' | Sep 23 17:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Louis Rossmann had a recent brief video praising GrapheneOS which he now has | Sep 23 17:19 |

| schestowitz | Once you've written your first container-based application and have it running in Docker or Podman, you're ready to move to the next level, says Don Schenck. “That means multiple applications — microservices — running within a managed environment,” such as Kubernetes. | Sep 23 17:51 |
| schestowitz | In this article, Schenck briefly explains Kubernetes basics, including names, ports, YAML files, secrets, and more. | Sep 23 17:51 |

| schestowitz | [18:10] <techrights-news> Phoronix marketing spam: "Solidigm kindly provided the 1TB and 2TB units as review samples for testing at Phoronix.

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Solidigm P41 Plus NVMe SSD Review - Phoronix | Sep 23 18:11 | |
| schestowitz | about $300 in gifts | Sep 23 18:11 |
| schestowitz | less than a day's work | Sep 23 18:11 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 23 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Sep 23 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | just to be very clear: | Sep 23 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is NOT returning these | Sep 23 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | he keeps them for "just in case" | Sep 23 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | future "benchmarks" | Sep 23 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | then ebay or whatever | Sep 23 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | --- | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | i remember when he used to actually buy what he reviwed | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | in irc I posted other reecent examples | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | sp-called newsa na revie sites | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | that even admit upfront they review a product sent to them by the company | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the review was "sponsored" | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | www = disinfo | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | another kind of it | Sep 23 18:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | --- | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you look at marketing basically | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | good value for money for these companies | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | phoronix is collecitn lots of laptops sent to him | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | from all the supposedly "linux" OEMs | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | for "benchmarks" | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | but AMD was the step too far | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | those CPUs are incredible expensive | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | he can "liquidate one per 6 months and living off it for 6 months where he is | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | IL or Mich. iirc | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | *incredibly | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | "EPYC" | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | and "threadripper" | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | even ampere sent him one | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | they cost like a car | Sep 23 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | spiraling into debt to vendors | Sep 23 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but its not a beneficial relationship for him. They have started him on | Sep 23 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | a death spiral and are extracting value on his way down. He, in return, gets | Sep 23 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | little to nothing in exchange for burning his followership. | Sep 23 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | the cycle, ime, goes like this | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | site gains reputation | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | gains following | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | faces financial dilemma | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | ("i want to do this full time") | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | readers chiop in (or supporters, a la fsf) | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | then it's not enough | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | never enough | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you signal you need "big bucks" | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | you get some | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then small sponsored feel unnecessary | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and stop funding | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | then the site/org is depeendent on the "big money" | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF used to get money off of people's credit card spendings | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you reach this last phase you are at the mercy of the wrong entiries | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | like christine hall | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | asking for MONEY for fossforce like 8 years ago | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | raised over $1000 | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | when kenstarks wrote therer | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | now sporting LF spam all over the site | Sep 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they planted a flag there | Sep 23 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydroid2: giftronix | Sep 23 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | just checked; half od today'd phoronix articles have no comments | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | reminds me of ipwatchdog | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | later they start hiding the count | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | spamnil started hiding viewcounts too | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | just checked | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, it's still hidden | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | it wasn't like this before | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | in youtube he cannot hide # of vieww | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | so needs to pay for clickfraud | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | checking youtube.. | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | no videos in 3 days already | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are videos there for over 1 week with 13 views | Sep 23 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | better hurry up with those bots, swap | Sep 23 18:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Again, I say it looks like a goal of the LF is to create animosity against | Sep 23 18:27 |
| Techrights-sec | the brand and degrade the trademark. | Sep 23 18:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | i don't see the framing like this | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | rather than ctively attack it | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | they milk it | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | "monetise it" | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | for short-term money-grabbing self-promotiunal purposes | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the members take a share of the deflation | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | as they deflame 30 years of gratis advocacy's value | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | apple is still a very powerful brand | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | but apple spent many billions lying to people | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they revere it | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | seen it in paid placement in movies etc. | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | paid celebs in queues in apple sotres.. | Sep 23 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | That too, the two types of attack are not mutually exclusive. | Sep 23 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | It is, in part, the organizational equivalent of character assassination so | Sep 23 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | that no one complains when the plug is pulled. | Sep 23 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | wow, spamnil has done clickfruad for 5 months already | Sep 23 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you go beyond that you see | Sep 23 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | 6 months, 13 views lol | Sep 23 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's like 1 view per 2 weeks | Sep 23 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | fleecing firms via LF | Sep 23 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | frauds | Sep 23 18:32 |
| Techrights-sec | yep | Sep 23 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | open sores | Sep 23 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | in hindsight, re brand dilution | Sep 23 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | in his video he has a wal with the word "linux" on it | Sep 23 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | the show is about proprietary crap | Sep 23 18:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the show is done on an apple mac | Sep 23 18:37 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, one of the goals is to milk the brand while destroying its value and | Sep 23 18:47 |
| Techrights-sec | reputation. With the reputation gone, it cannot come back. With the value gone | Sep 23 18:47 |
| Techrights-sec | no one will be able to afford to try. | Sep 23 18:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Linus is in the unenviable situation where his imployer is actively working | Sep 23 18:47 |
| Techrights-sec | against him and working to eradicate his past, present, and future work. | Sep 23 18:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | works | Sep 23 18:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | github | Sep 23 18:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | remember what it does | Sep 23 18:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | commodity under attack | Sep 23 18:48 |
| Techrights-sec | s/work/works/ | Sep 23 18:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, that's a general theme everywhere: decommoditization | Sep 23 18:49 |
| Techrights-sec | see also your comments about e-mail protocols earlier | Sep 23 18:49 |
