| techrights[sec] | yes layoffs are all the rage, the question is which groups are getting laid off | Feb 25 09:46 |
| techrights[sec] | managers hr and other dead weight? or developers and operationns? or r & d? | Feb 25 09:46 |
| techrights[sec] | or in the case of media, are they laying off investigatvice reporters or | Feb 25 09:46 |
| techrights[sec] | marketeers? NPR is laying off people too | Feb 25 09:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | "investigatvice" = expensive | Feb 25 09:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | low "yield" | Feb 25 09:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | hire spamnil | Feb 25 09:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as you are probably aware, they have had layoffs too | Feb 25 09:48 |
| techrights[sec] | Normal journalism == "expensive" | Feb 25 09:48 |
| techrights[sec] | It's all around, across most industries. There an active unwillingness to | Feb 25 09:58 |
| techrights[sec] | cover to costs of doing business. I suspect that in many cases it is because | Feb 25 09:58 |
| techrights[sec] | the specific businesses have already moved to financialization and are now | Feb 25 09:58 |
| techrights[sec] | able to drop the pretense of actually doing work. | Feb 25 09:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it gravitates towards shit and PR when the business model is not selling copies | Feb 25 09:59 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but rather, ads and lies-as-a-service | Feb 25 09:59 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | re "as you are probably aware, they have had layoffs too | Feb 25 09:59 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | " | Feb 25 09:59 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's getting hard to find newsrooms that did NOT sack | Feb 25 09:59 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i saw today CBS apparently doing better | Feb 25 09:59 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | improved my running range a bit | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | going to a nearby tesco | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | got some good things today | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | goiing to record some videos today, at long last | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i think i'm getting this new workflow under control now | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but taking some notes to myself to help adapt, what to do when and how | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the links in TM and in TR (overlap) have more inline URLs and some formatting | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | which is a bit improvements | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | other sites cannot compete or keep up with that | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as they simply lack the tools for collection, curation etc. | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so we're all set for years to come, i just want to automate removal of some "?utm=cruft" | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in some feeds | Feb 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | at the moment a lot of search and replace, or manual editing | Feb 25 13:09 |
| techrights[sec] | Yeah, some of that ?utm_ garbage gets missed someti | Feb 25 13:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some of that went away around the time Gulag Inc. burned FeedBurner | Feb 25 13:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | I don't know what those contribute to back-end surveillance | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | never saw how this type of spying gets processed and by which software | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if I forget to remove it there's always some geek out there who righly moans | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so I try never to forget | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | removing them algorithmically is not simple as there are special cases | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | rianne remembers to always remove them manually | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's a matter of treating well those whom you share links with | Feb 25 13:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Google used to direct every news item with news.google.com/some crap tracking | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then, some years ago, it started linking directly | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | about a year ago it went back to tracking | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i don't know why but can have a hunch | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | google news used to offer excepts from articles | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | with the relevant bits or keywords | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it would also cluster related articles | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and highlght (bold) relevant bits | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they castrate themselves | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | about 10 years ago | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i believe this is related to legal threats associated with "link tax" and fair use | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so they basically made their product worse in many ways | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we later saw the same in australia and now canada | Feb 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | *excepts>excerpts | Feb 25 13:26 |
| techrights[sec] | Feb 25 13:27 | |
| techrights[sec] | Yeah, some of that ?utm_ garbage gets missed sometimes. | Feb 25 13:27 |
| techrights[sec] | Yes, the tracking there has returned. I skip their lists now. There | Feb 25 13:27 |
| techrights[sec] | wasn't much quality or relevance in what they produced anyway. | Feb 25 13:27 |
| techrights[sec] | Ah, and referer links are not tracked in many cases any more, so maybe they are | Feb 25 13:27 |
| techrights[sec] | trying to build up evidence of how much traffic they send to various domains. | Feb 25 13:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | bypassing this is feasible algorithmically but infeasible by hand, at scale | Feb 25 13:29 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as you would need to substitute many symbols in the parts trailing the tracking bits | Feb 25 13:29 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | indluding for "https://" | Feb 25 13:29 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Could not resolve host: "; Unknown error ( status 0 @ https://" ) | Feb 25 13:29 | |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in effect reverse-engineering their tracking code | Feb 25 13:29 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | to skip the tracking | Feb 25 13:29 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some regex can maybe catch most cases | Feb 25 13:29 |
| techrights[sec] | Any regex cleanup would have to go on a host-by-host or, at best, domain by | Feb 25 13:30 |
| techrights[sec] | domain basis. | Feb 25 13:30 |
| techrights[sec] | It's easier probably to just keep doing it by hand. | Feb 25 13:30 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | [14:34] <techrights-news> It is becoming increasingly hard to justify linking to Phoronix, not just due to the ads but the shilling of freedom-hostile crap. Judging by the forums, this is a common sentiment. | Feb 25 14:35 |
