| Techrightssec | Is m$ hiding more layoffs though the noise about Activision? | Nov 23 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | context? did something just "happen"? | Nov 23 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, in this context, do you mean the months-old announcement? | Nov 23 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | i was told no job openings there and they cut down the money spent on existing staff | Nov 23 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the layoff.com seems to be astroturfed a bit with "good news" about microsoft | Nov 23 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | after people moaning about getting laid off | Nov 23 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media did not count the contractors | Nov 23 05:05 |
| Techrightssec | Yes, it's ongoing for the last few months. | Nov 23 05:08 |
| Techrightssec | https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559103-activision-blizzard-may-be-a-buy-with-or-without-microsoft-deal | Nov 23 05:08 |
| Techrightssec | I wonder also if m$ is still losing money on each "Xbox", their DRM testbed. | Nov 23 05:08 |
| Techrightssec | The articles talk about revenue but not profit. | Nov 23 05:08 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-seekingalpha.com | Activision Blizzard May Be A Buy, With Or Without Microsoft Deal (NASDAQ:ATVI) | Seeking Alpha | Nov 23 05:08 | |
| schestowitz-TR | seekingalpha is 101% microsoft propaganda | Nov 23 05:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | since around 2005 when I started noticing | Nov 23 05:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | but aside from that, microsoft is like twitter | Nov 23 05:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | it pretends to be big | Nov 23 05:09 |
| Techrightssec | Yes, their most positive | Nov 23 05:09 |
| Techrightssec | propaganda site is not providing any substance so I suspect there is none: | Nov 23 05:09 |
| Techrightssec | no profit | Nov 23 05:09 |
| Techrightssec | Yes and it keeps re-earning its exceedingly negative reputation for | Nov 23 05:17 |
| Techrightssec | both the shoddy quality of its tech, the bad design of its tech, | Nov 23 05:17 |
| Techrightssec | and the illegal and unethical behavior in the market. | Nov 23 05:17 |
| Techrightssec | There are other articles trying to blame the so-called obstacles on | Nov 23 05:17 |
| Techrightssec | "negativity" rather than m$ historical and ongoing actions. | Nov 23 05:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | quiterss seems to have become very io-intensive lately | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | causing seconds-long lockups or freezes | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. when it openes or closes | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I am not sure of the storage is the culprit | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | or somethign else | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've deleted about 180k fed items | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | RAM usage remains very high, over 2 GB when open, sometimes a lot more | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | but.. a lot of this started around the time I ran mumble-server on this machine | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I wonder if that too can be the culprit | Nov 23 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | system update has changed nothijgn since done half an hour sago | Nov 23 05:23 |
| Techrightssec | :/ | Nov 23 05:23 |
| Techrightssec | One problem is that it has not been maintained. Another is that it does not | Nov 23 05:23 |
| Techrightssec | handle such large data sets. | Nov 23 05:23 |
| Techrightssec | Nov 23 05:27 | |
| Techrightssec | QuiteRSS has a lot of problems. I've been looking for a replacement. | Nov 23 05:27 |
| Techrightssec | If Sony does not renew such an unfavorable game console exclusive contracvt | Nov 23 05:27 |
| Techrightssec | with m$, then that indicates possibly that the Xbox has been a liability for | Nov 23 05:27 |
| Techrightssec | the "Call of Duty" series. | Nov 23 05:27 |
| Techrightssec | QuiteRSS is written in C++ | Nov 23 05:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | curiously enough the storage device has given no errors in life a fortnight | Nov 23 05:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | after all those system crashes | Nov 23 05:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I'm sure it'll be back with a bang one day | Nov 23 05:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | otr - 5 days of silence from $employer; they are probably a little nervous | Nov 23 05:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | ort - the irrational behaviour is what happened weeks ago | Nov 23 05:44 |
| Techrightssec | QuiteRSS is written in C++ | Nov 23 05:46 |
| Techrightssec | It usually locks up during anythiing other than a very short session. | Nov 23 05:46 |

| schestowitz-TR | LinuxHint is dying; a ton of MICROSOFT SQL SERVER (proprietary) pieces today. Yes, spyware, which does not even properly run on LINUX (in the site's name!). And when they cover "Git" it's Windows (Microsoft, proprietary) and GitHub (Microsoft, proprietary). "LINUX" hint... hint hint... it's NOT about Linux anymore. | Nov 23 10:33 |
| Techrightssec | Proprietar M$ SQL Server does not even run natively in GNU/Linux but instead | Nov 23 10:34 |
| Techrightssec | inside the Drawbridge emulator | Nov 23 10:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, but notice the bit about promoting github instead of git and on Windows, not Linux | Nov 23 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | that'd likely offend people who actually care about Linux and subscribed to the site | Nov 23 10:35 |

| Techrightssec | So, 5% relevance and significantly lower quality. | Nov 23 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse: | Nov 23 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | about 70% anti-linux agenda | Nov 23 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | 25% anti-git | Nov 23 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | 50% anti-FOSS | Nov 23 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | ... | Nov 23 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | all this for the chance of me finding some ssh manual that doesn't seem so good | Nov 23 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and goes under today's howtos | Nov 23 10:57 |
| Techrightssec | ack | Nov 23 10:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not just this site | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | they take a site that has followers and 'googlejuice' | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | then try top monetise it | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | previously linux was put in the hands of affilate ad spammers | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | in sites like fossmint they let anusha saive and what I ssuypect to be the spouse ravi | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | they posted a ton of anti-foss | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | then the site pretty much collapsed and its original authors are almost never to be seen again | Nov 23 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 'monetisers' killed it | Nov 23 11:00 |
| Techrightssec | Yep. The quote about killing Mac conferences is relevant yet again here. | Nov 23 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | go to some site called fossforce ;-) | Nov 23 11:02 |

| schestowitz-TR | topics needed | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini has not much news | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | epo now much new except for need to rebut upc lies (the "judge" slant is the SB du jour) | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | in FOSS, boring... no announcement day befoire thankgiving | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was hoping to do some videos, so topics would help | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | still have not progressed much on the dissertation | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | distracted by the 48-page document | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | brainstorming in bookmarks | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | we might stop following all fotoball by the way, qatar was the wak-up call | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | *wake | Nov 23 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | they should rename EPL to "gulf war recruitment league" | Nov 23 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | or fantasy footbOIL | Nov 23 11:15 |
| Techrightssec | Basically | Nov 23 11:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | this became more obscene this yeart | Nov 23 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | MbS bought a team that was at the bottom of the table | Nov 23 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it's in #3 | Nov 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | #1 and #2 = gulf states, huge spendings | Nov 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | that gives ample political leverage | Nov 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | follow our advice or we abandon the prestigious club | Nov 23 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are billions at stake, not slush funds | Nov 23 11:18 |
| Techrightssec | Yes though the motions were set in action with the FIFA bribery | Nov 23 11:22 |
| Techrightssec | dance! dance for the oilman, chase the ball for him! | Nov 23 11:22 |
| Techrightssec | More than that, the sportswashing buys lots of room to maneuver politicallky | Nov 23 11:22 |

| Techrightssec | As the class difference increase from the ongoing class war, more effort is | Nov 23 11:41 |

| Techrightssec | Divide-and-Conquer | Nov 23 11:41 |
| Techrightssec | That's also what a lot of the sports mentality is about and why so many billions | Nov 23 11:41 |
| Techrightssec | are spent cultivating it: shout mindlessly in favor of an arbitrary logo and | Nov 23 11:41 |
| Techrightssec | verbally and physically attack those bearing the other logos. That trains | Nov 23 11:41 |

| Techrightssec | are the only ones granted backdoor (or bugdoor) access. | Nov 23 13:47 |
| Techrightssec | That's just wishful thinking on their part though. | Nov 23 13:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the bug door analogy is a very helpful one, I will try ton internalise it | Nov 23 13:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | with upc, .de gov. has gotten truly sinister | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and with its french allies, maybe dutch also | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the upside it | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) with pandemic people realised that patents can be very evil and detrimental to health | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) with upc people see what a farce the patent microcosm reallyt is | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and (2) can be reinforced more along with (1) | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the point where the way people speak about the issues changes over the years | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | that has a lot to do with messed up distribution of wealth/capital | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | after the manutd news (rianne saw that before me, or read about it this morning) it's likely | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | when qatar is done I'll ignore football algother | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not just that money controls the culture here through sport | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's money that comes from conflict | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can kneel and wear rainbow armbands all they want | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | the people who pay their salaries care for neither of those causes | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and some actively crush those | Nov 23 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | those are gestures of guilt | Nov 23 13:58 |

| Techrightssec | They can kneel all they want but they still show up to dance for the oilmen. | Nov 23 14:06 |
| Techrightssec | Many salaries have gone *way* down if you consider that they have not kept | Nov 23 14:12 |
| Techrightssec | up with either inflation or the increased work load which came from firing | Nov 23 14:12 |
| Techrightssec | (or losing through attrition) lots of staff. | Nov 23 14:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | good point, yes... | Nov 23 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | two of my siblings work 60-70 hours a week | Nov 23 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I keep telling them, this isn't normal and you might regret this in the future | Nov 23 14:13 |

| Techrightssec | It's less a skills shortage than an honest wage shortage. The big companies | Nov 23 14:30 |
| Techrightssec | are neither willing to give decent working conditions nor livable remuneration | Nov 23 14:30 |
| Techrightssec | for time, skill, and services. The money is instead lost as 'profit' and | Nov 23 14:30 |
| Techrightssec | as executive compensation, both of which leave the economy quickly vanishing | Nov 23 14:30 |
| Techrightssec | to the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Panama, or elsewhere. Whereas salaries and | Nov 23 14:30 |
| Techrightssec | wages would quickly recirculate in the domestic economy, raising the standard | Nov 23 14:30 |
| Techrightssec | of living for all. Trickle-down economics has been debunked time and again. | Nov 23 14:30 |

| Techrightssec | WSL and Azure crap this week. FSF ought to have a Thanksgiving campaign in the | Nov 23 15:09 |

| schestowitz-TR | yes, wsl mostly | Nov 23 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | first it was "1.0" | Nov 23 15:11 |

| schestowitz | I work on a story about the UPC and the technical judges it plans to use. | Nov 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz | In your articles you mention talking to politicians about it. Do you have a suggestion who would be outspoken about it. If there is someone from Germany, that would be great. | Nov 23 18:22 |
| schestowitz | Also, you mention a lobby behind the UPC. Could you be more specific? | Nov 23 18:22 |
