[06:04] schestowitz-TR2 RMS gives a talk tomorrow, but I don't know the URL if any [06:04] schestowitz-TR2 I posted their intro/promotional video of it [06:04] schestowitz-TR2 if we let them shoot the man, then they shoot the concepts/ideas [06:04] schestowitz-TR2 brb 20 mins, Daily Links [06:04] techrights-sec[2] revisionism : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Media_Lab [06:04] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | MIT Media Lab - Wikipedia [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 wikipedia is almost 20 [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 it won't last so long [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 it's failing to guard itself [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 i think it turned 20 [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 either way, it was not good 10 years agoi [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 but got worse, not better [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 it's optimised for politics and PR [06:06] schestowitz-TR2 not accuracy [06:07] techrights-sec[2] It's more than 20 years old, there was some turnover about 20 years go though [06:07] techrights-sec[2] and major changes. That might have been when they turned to corporate money [06:07] techrights-sec[2] and abandoned proper research apparently in favor of product development. [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 a) about to delete what's left temporarily of gulag' [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 b) gulag nose downtime this past week [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 c) spying re-added [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 d) almost nothing shows up in recent days [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 some time this week I will delete it ("linux") [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 searx.be is mostly ok for search [06:42] schestowitz-TR2 OTA ● Oct 24 [07:54] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@h635kpe3hju7k.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Oct 24 [08:05] schestowitz-TR2 done, 50-min video [08:05] schestowitz-TR2 showing only the comments [08:05] schestowitz-TR2 we should contact breyer from german PP [08:05] schestowitz-TR2 he can raise the subject again [08:05] schestowitz-TR2 he already confronts breton over UPC [08:05] schestowitz-TR2 do you have contacts with him? I just know his blog (rss) [08:08] *psydroid2 has quit (Quit: Leaving) [08:08] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@h635kpe3hju7k.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [08:13] techrights-sec[2] I was just thinking about Breyer but have no address for him or other means [08:13] techrights-sec[2] to contact him, and am furthermore outside of his geographic area. The reason [08:13] techrights-sec[2] though that I was thinking was that some countries have very, very strictly [08:13] techrights-sec[2] enforced laws prohibiting registers of ethnicity, with the goal to prevent [08:13] techrights-sec[2] another round of the genocide that went on in WWII. However, Facebook has [08:13] techrights-sec[2] thousands of datapoints with *specificially* identify religion, ethnicity, [08:13] techrights-sec[2] political leanings and other explicitly prohibited factors. Furthermore, [08:13] techrights-sec[2] they have the ability to further aggregate and synthesize such information. [08:13] techrights-sec[2] So along those lines maybe Schrems would know who to contact. [08:13] schestowitz-TR2 FB can be paid to change people's leanings (CA scandal) [08:13] techrights-sec[2] The EFF, [08:13] techrights-sec[2] if it weren't so busy rolling over, would also be one to contat. Yes, that [08:13] techrights-sec[2] is why FB is tolerated, I would guess.

[08:59] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Oct 24 [09:47] schestowitz-TR2 draft [09:47] schestowitz-TR2 (you should contact your mep, I will contact breye as a german) [09:50] techrights-sec[2] yes [09:50] techrights-sec[2] The first paragraph should (yet again) mention that the UPC is invalid/illegal/ddefunct [09:50] techrights-sec[2] It's implied in the one sentence but could be stated clearly just to be sure. [09:50] techrights-sec[2] The European Patent Contention did improve things, and it should be stated [09:50] techrights-sec[2] (yet again) for emphasis what it prohibits (hint sw patents). Yes, that can [09:50] techrights-sec[2] risk being repetitive but the aspects can vary each time and it is *very* [09:50] techrights-sec[2] important that the posts kind of be able to stand on their own. [09:50] techrights-sec[2] The paragraph "All three havent been active..." could be merged with the one [09:50] techrights-sec[2] preceding it. [09:50] techrights-sec[2] "EPO" has a link but the acronym should be expanded in the text itself once. [09:50] techrights-sec[2] Is the UPC in crisis or causing a constitutional crisis. The former is not [09:50] techrights-sec[2] important, the latter is very bad. [09:50] techrights-sec[2] Some context on who Grabinksi is and how he relates to the topic in the post.

[12:51] techrights-sec[2] Good luck, I hope the message gets through and that there is a useful response [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 I'm sure he read TR before and knows what I wrote [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 as for the UK, it's not relevant to the UPC [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 I met some politicians here who stumbled upon TR [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 one was deupty PM, IIRC [12:56] schestowitz-TR2 so you generally see that, despite us being so small, the hard work has impact [12:56] schestowitz-TR2 I need to post the copyright troll's letters around xmas [12:56] schestowitz-TR2 and use other means of deterreance against MSFT, Friedman, and Graveley [12:56] schestowitz-TR2 don't expect shitholes like 'hacker' 'noise' and reddit to help this gain visibility [12:56] schestowitz-TR2 they already have us labeled as "enemies" of... their paymasters, I suppose [12:56] schestowitz-TR2 but beter labeled than DEPLATFORMED [12:56] techrights-sec[2] ack [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 side point [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 1) john campbell's videos are becoming ridiculous because of the 'paranoia' of gulag censoring the channel [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 2) I don't need to waste 5 mins of each video going through guidelines or removing words or flattering gulag's [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 glorious guidelines [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 3) today when doing exercise with indivious we noticed the track kept getting muted when there was music [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 4) exercise channels with no voice are useless [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 5) gulag used to "label" copyright stuff (based on signatures of sound being matched) [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 I think they start to "act" [12:59] schestowitz-TR2 and they ruined this exercise video with 38+ million views ● Oct 24 [13:00] schestowitz-TR2 your [topic] suggestion re gulag and meial was good, but I don't yet know the topic well enough to say [13:00] schestowitz-TR2 something insightful [13:00] schestowitz-TR2 this is related to what they do in other protocols [13:00] schestowitz-TR2 /smeial/email/.

[14:13] schestowitz-TR2 same url struct [14:13] schestowitz-TR2 i.e. [14:13] schestowitz-TR2 gemini-base-domain/videos/[video path] [14:13] schestowitz-TR2 I mean, not going live [14:13] schestowitz-TR2 rather, using (like with ipfs) the machine for backup [14:13] schestowitz-TR2 ok, best that way, yes [14:13] schestowitz-TR2 I thought linkage of files rather of duplication would be most suitable [14:14] techrights-sec[2] ok with what? I'm out if the tr-new is put into production prior to janaryD [14:14] techrights-sec[2] in any form [14:14] techrights-sec[2] Best to wait, I would think. There are more elegant options. [14:14] techrights-sec[2] Thinking about the work flow for the posting, I'm thinking that only the date [14:14] techrights-sec[2] field (in the form of an integer repesenting the epoch) is the way to go and [14:14] techrights-sec[2] that if the date is in the future, that particular post remains unpublished [14:14] techrights-sec[2] but then an 'at' job gets launched either manually or automatically to run [14:14] techrights-sec[2] at the designated time. [14:16] schestowitz-TR2 version control on a live server (like wordpress and drupal with extensions) is a waste of DB space, imho [14:16] schestowitz-TR2 I reckon more than half of the wordpress DB is prior revisions of the posts [14:16] schestowitz-TR2 wordpress is becoming to www what MS Office became to laptops and desktops [14:16] schestowitz-TR2 to the point many people opted out and chose worse: clown and "apps" [14:17] techrights-sec[2] That would allow for pre-loading posts to appear [14:17] techrights-sec[2] later. It would not be version control just a postponement of publication [14:17] techrights-sec[2] If changes are needed, then the post would have to be deleted and a new one [14:17] techrights-sec[2] created it its place. WordPress is bloated in and of itself but the version [14:17] techrights-sec[2] control causes the data space to grow at least arithmetically. [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 I think we ought to revisit the publication 'style' in general, seeing that many effective posts [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 can be short but higher in volume [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 not "tweets" but rather rapid updates [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 and some are more or less a template [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 like the irc posts [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 you could almost generate them based on some variables and save a lot of space [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 we don't have any head deadlines or "costs" to "manage", which means less stress [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 (our stupid stupid company still blows like $1000 a month on a few shitty VMs nobody uses 99% of the time [14:21] schestowitz-TR2 that's because of dumb colleagues) [14:35] techrights-sec[2] Ok it would make sense to review and possibly revise the work flow.
