[04:54]	techrights-sec[2]	needs to be deleted because it is corrupt.  Neither the audio nor the video

[04:55]	schestowitz-TR2	I tstedd in vlc and browsers
[04:59]	schestowitz-TR2	works in 7 media  players and browsers here
[04:59]	techrights-sec[2]	It does not work in VLC here.  Can you please re-check it from your end?
[04:59]	techrights-sec[2]	The file seems quite corrupt even though it is only one minute.
[04:59]	techrights-sec[2]	I;ve tried re-downloading it.  
[04:59]	techrights-sec[2]	Try downloading it from TR  
● Oct 25
[05:06]	techrights-sec[2]	No aspect of it works from here.  :/
[05:06]	techrights-sec[2]	oh well
[05:06]	techrights-sec[2]	checking
[05:06]	schestowitz-TR2	i even can stream it in vlc using the url
[05:06]	schestowitz-TR2	did any prior clips of thhis kind have the same issue?
[05:07]	techrights-sec[2]	This one seems to be wholly missingth evideo link: http://techrights.org/2022/10/01/libre-software/

[05:08]	schestowitz-TR2	maybe the way I use ffmpeg is not just sub-optimal but bad
[05:08]	schestowitz-TR2	I think it slips it without re-encodingf
[05:08]	schestowitz-TR2	the fast and distry way
[05:08]	schestowitz-TR2	but it never caused problems at my end
[05:08]	techrights-sec[2]	probably
[05:21]	techrights-sec[2]	Well a spot check of the last three shows there may be something severly wrong
[05:21]	techrights-sec[2]	with the work flow.  However, be that as it may, is there a URL for today's
[05:21]	techrights-sec[2]	talk in India by RMS?
[05:21]	schestowitz-TR2	just the introduction in text
[05:21]	schestowitz-TR2	but no video
[05:22]	techrights-sec[2]	Too bad.  I would like to find out what his topic is and how he covered it.
[05:22]	schestowitz-TR2	the talk is about 7 hours from now
[05:22]	schestowitz-TR2	I reproduced the talk's abstract last night
[05:24]	techrights-sec[2]	yes.  I saw.  It seems that just 3 - 4 years ago institutions were much
[05:24]	techrights-sec[2]	better at streaming.

[07:28]	techrights-sec[2]	By the way, Chromium-based web browsers block access to https://techrights.org/
[07:28]	techrights-sec[2]	with no means of allowing the self-signed certificate through.  
[07:28]	techrights-sec[2]	Given what Baker is doing to Mozilla it is a matter of time before Firefox
[07:28]	techrights-sec[2]	also fully blocks self-signed certificates.  From what I recall, Let's Encrypt
[07:28]	techrights-sec[2]	never got recognition as a Certificate Authority and are still using a dual
[07:28]	techrights-sec[2]	CA as a temporary work-around which seems to have become kind of permanent.
[07:28]		-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Welcome to Techrights
[07:32]	schestowitz-TR2	got back to keyboard
[07:32]	schestowitz-TR2	all server went offline (reboot maybe)
[07:32]	schestowitz-TR2	lots to fix and test
[07:32]	schestowitz-TR2	brb
[07:39]	techrights-sec[2]	checking servers, nothing triggered here so the outage must have been short
[07:39]	techrights-sec[2]	about 1h30m ago HV turned over, same for the guests

[08:11]	schestowitz-TR2	oh, well done
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR2	the changes to cron persistent across startups/reboots
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR2	ipfs does not yet start automatically though, but that's OK 
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR2	I think everything is back now
[08:11]	schestowitz-TR2	and the system updates apply following reboots, which were planned weeks ago
[08:12]	techrights-sec[2]	excellent
[08:12]	techrights-sec[2]	yes, that was a benefit and overdue
[08:17]	schestowitz-TR2	sorry I was slow to respond, just slept, got back, many terminals were 'dead'
[08:17]	schestowitz-TR2	regarding https, TR is never advertised with that protocol
[08:17]	schestowitz-TR2	some browsers try to be 'clever', even without extensions
[08:22]	techrights-sec[2]	Chromium is not just 'some', it is like 85+ % of the market.
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR2	iirc, finfish from gemma group *german) is still around under some other name
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR2	regarding, chrom* if given a http:// domain or address
[08:24]		-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Could not resolve host: domain; Unknown error ( status 0 @ http:// domain )
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR2	I hope it does not try to rewrite it
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR2	I heard tor browser used to do that
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR2	maybe also librewolf by default
[08:24]	schestowitz-TR2	*finfisher
[08:47]	techrights-sec[2]	ack
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	I will open email tonight
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	latest thunderbird made it a lto faster to open
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	like a big issued 6-7 years after the problem started
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	and that gives temptation to break workflow again
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	by letting mail get in there
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	better done in bulk
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	esp. when some mail is not pleasant
[08:49]	schestowitz-TR2	e.g. copyright troll
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	re mood-swinging etc, a mechanical mindset/thinking (like working in garden, following routine) can help
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	but that very much depends on the root causes, e.g. chamical or outside factor
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	re covid-19, tonight or this afternoon we'll have more figures of mortality
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	i've looked forward to these for days already as they can help validate a hypothesis
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	Prince Sunak thinks money can solve everything, like carpenters with their nails and glue
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	I joked to rianne that all food would be just one penny because she found a large milk for that price
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	for a moment she though I was serious
[08:54]	schestowitz-TR2	Sunak is the one behind "eat out, help out" in summer 2020 (the spread of covid-19 was curbed)
[08:58]	techrights-sec[2]	Sunak's appointment is not beneficial
[08:59]	schestowitz-TR2	my friend destroyed his heart with excessive or too hard exercise
[08:59]	schestowitz-TR2	he broke some rowing record and did not know it was ruining his main arteries
[08:59]	schestowitz-TR2	until this past February
[08:59]	schestowitz-TR2	when he experienced shock like never before (from the news, not any bodily event)
● Oct 25
[09:00]	schestowitz-TR2	so what he thought made him younger and would elongate his life did the opposite
[09:00]	schestowitz-TR2	same with my dad and his diving (he only realised when it was too late)
[09:00]	schestowitz-TR2	there is ample literature on how athletes don't like long
[09:00]	techrights-sec[2]	Tragic
[09:00]	schestowitz-TR2	and that depends on their discpline esp. intensity they subject themselves to 
[09:00]	schestowitz-TR2	my philosophhy is, exercise but as less as it is enjoyable
[09:00]	schestowitz-TR2	*as long
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	(not so private:)
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	I have the following routines
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	stair climbing, very fast, sets of 5 floors
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	pushups/situps/lunges etc. (floor)
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	computer room: shotput ball various things, inc. squats and fast-box
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	no equipment, but after hiatus in lockdowns (2020, 2021) each time I returned to the gym
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	I could handle the machines OK
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	so loss of body mass or muscle erosion (like, from illness) is the main risk
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	I find walking and jogging routes around the stadium/academy
[09:06]	techrights-sec[2]	planes are just nasty by every metric
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	and a shop to make it worth the journey
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	i keep hearing of unhealth people or people whose relatives are not healthy 
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	(rubenerd, mastodon.technology's ash, some people I know in person)
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	which can mandate dangerous mingling with covidiots
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	or boarding planes where isolation is infeasible
[09:06]	schestowitz-TR2	sans the "sanitation theatre"
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	"leg room" is never an issue until you board a plane, where they already (iirc) patent
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	the stuffing of passengers in standing position to save space
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	not even military planes do this
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	"excuse me, you two people in the middle and aisle, I have to go pee, do you mind waking up and walk to the  
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	aisle for me, once when I leave and then again when I get back? That would be greeeeeatttttt"
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	[holds breath for 5 mins and walks away from "scene of the crime"]
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	they call this "lifestyle", "seeing the world", and boast about "air miles"
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	like debt (not debit) cards that are made 95% of plastic but say "Gold" or "Platinum" on them 
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	to stroke the egos of the likes of Zemlin, who barely knows how to restart a service let alone
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	deliver a presentation from his Mac PC without it getting jammed
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	people who look down on those who don't participate in these 'rituals' aren't worthy of enagement
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	let them find their other career-climbing losers to waste their lives with  
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	apropos, social control media is a driver of this toxic culture
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	and takes it out of the classroom and the mall, shoving it into the home 24/7
[09:13]	schestowitz-TR2	"the phone in the socket that never stops beeping"
[09:13]	techrights-sec[2]	yep
[09:13]	techrights-sec[2]	one improvement has been the cessation of smoking on the flights;
[09:13]	techrights-sec[2]	the whole plane was otherwise filled with smoke such that the ceiling was
[09:13]	techrights-sec[2]	hardly visisble
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	smoke in plane is a safety hazard
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	if someone cannot avoid a fag for 2-10 hours of flight, one is a junkie
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	and junkies don't belong on planes
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	we sat next to one for 5 hours, it was truly horrible and I wrote about it
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	btw, pay in academic has sunk and the atmosphere at the job became very bad
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	at one postdoc position I worked 10 hours a week and was paid just enough for bills and barely food
[09:19]	schestowitz-TR2	so they're eliminating jobs that don't resemlbe wage slavery, by lowing the pay and also making the job
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	less pleasant
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	they've taken disgnity out of teaching jobs; in hungary there was a 80,000-strong protest by teachers
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	Orban hates scholars and academia
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	those "f*ckers" don't vote for him, so "f*ck them!"
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	that protest was this week, I posted a link in irc about it minutes ago
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	it's not just us/gop issue
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	when I was intervewed her for postdoc job (last time, cirica 2012) one person was my phd mentor
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	and the other was some "business development" BS person. she knew NOTHING about science
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	it was just some useless "business" (so-called) person
[09:20]	schestowitz-TR2	like a university needs to juistify its existence now by making money!
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	back then everyone who smoked more or less chain smoked for the duration of the
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	flight
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	yes academic pay is below minimum wage at least in the US and there the minimum
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	is not even remotely livable
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	then there are the terrible work conditions and irrelevant make-work tasks
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	thrown on top of the real tasks
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	you're lukcy these days if the job is only 'less pleasant' most workplaces
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	aim to have a downright unpleasant and nasty environment.
[09:21]	techrights-sec[2]	3
[09:22]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
[09:22]	techrights-sec[2]	yes you mentioned.  they ruin everything like a business now: 
[09:22]	techrights-sec[2]	into the ground and ask for a bailout
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	that is an excellent analogy actually
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	similar to ones I tell my parents about 
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	I keep reminding them my sinblings accomplish nothing
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	they waste their lives making a bunch of sociopaths richer
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	regarding dotcom, put aside ".com" and say tech or tech-fascism
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	aside from those milking off the taxpayers' teat, like Microsoft,
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	many companies perish atm
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	they never had a viable plan, just "many users"
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	Netflix, Spotify (layoffs)
[09:28]	schestowitz-TR2	Twitter "overstaffed" (no shit! Running a pile ofm JS shit takes that many staff???)
[09:29]	schestowitz-TR2	thewy don't even do any real moderation or assess appeal; they overturn nothing, just like gulag
[09:29]	schestowitz-TR2	and in youtube they strip sound or  remove stuff autonmously (real sorry! not out fault!!! bad,, bad HEY HI)
[09:29]	schestowitz-TR2	(many "tech" companies, even large ones, don't even have their own infra to look after, they're overcharged
[09:29]	schestowitz-TR2	by bezos or gulag or -- for idiots -- a clusterfuck full of layoffs called "azure" -- whatever that is)
[09:30]	techrights-sec[2]	thus the "underpants gnomes" meme
[09:30]	techrights-sec[2]	in youtube, people have gotten copyright strikes for playing their own
[09:30]	techrights-sec[2]	compositions as well as for playing classical pieces like Bach, Beethoven, etc
[09:30]	techrights-sec[2]	Most "tech" companies don't produce anything and aim for a buyout / IPO
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	how to run youtube channel in "modern" GoogleTube:
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	1) don't have any music, just speech
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	2) never curse, no matter the context
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	3) don't touch certain subjects; if you do, make 25% of the video all about "YouTube Guidelines" to waste viewers
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	' time and pray your foes won't twist your words out of context
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	4) don't expect money, even if your audience grows (reminder: spamnil 9 views in 9 days)
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	5) don't buy any equipment like lighting ane expensive camera/microphone gear; those WILL NOT pay for themselves
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	had long chat about related staff (kitchen talk)
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	this afternoon we might go check the nearby gym 
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	to see how crowded it is at off-peak times
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	for next year, assuming we resume
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	not the same gym as before 
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	iirc, offpeak membership is about 22.5 a month
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	maybe less for a pair
[09:45]	schestowitz-TR2	it's where the water polo team is training, two large pools
[09:47]	techrights-sec[2]	ack
● Oct 25
[10:46]	techrights-sec[2]	more Mastodon clients for the Fediverse are now javascript-only, that
[10:46]	techrights-sec[2]	sucks even more than before
[10:46]	techrights-sec[2]	I think I'll just delete the last of the bookmarks over that
[10:46]	techrights-sec[2]	to the various instances.  So much for openness and inclusivity.    
[10:46]	techrights-sec[2]	They suck.
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR2	you understimate the "sucness"
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR2	the instance I moved tuxmachines to
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR2	not only wants JS
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR2	it also rejects many "modern" browsers
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR2	or does not render correctly
[10:47]	schestowitz-TR2	but I spend no time there
[10:49]	techrights-sec[2]	I've been checking every other week from a few bookmarks, but no longer.
[10:49]	techrights-sec[2]	There were *very* few links posted there anyway though sometimes independent
[10:49]	techrights-sec[2]	searching could follow clues given in the comments to find stuff.  Either way
[10:49]	techrights-sec[2]	though it was very, very low yield.  
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	everything feels low yield compared to a decade ago
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	sometimes I check the 12 or so static pages I have in a list for weekends
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	10 minutes spent for maybe 3 links
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	rss feeds are full of shit but fast to navigate
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	gulag noise is mostly stuff I already have direct feeds for
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	and not there is a level of indirection/spying in URLs
[10:51]	schestowitz-TR2	so I stopped refreshing that
[10:54]	techrights-sec[2]	The way things are going with the browsers as VMs we should not have the world
[10:54]	techrights-sec[2]	running Firefox or Chromium but simple Qemu or VirtualBox
[10:54]	techrights-sec[2]	Compare to a decade ago, journalism has been abandoned and even back then it
[10:54]	techrights-sec[2]	was kind of thin compared to the turn of the century.  
[10:54]	techrights-sec[2]	RSS is 100s of times faster to navigate than regular web access but still 
[10:54]	techrights-sec[2]	very very slow and time consuming to find anything worth quoting. 
[10:54]	schestowitz-TR2	i have just been to the gym, checked the whole place upside down, in and out
[10:54]	schestowitz-TR2	it's not bad
[10:54]	schestowitz-TR2	at one point he suggested I "download the apo" for more info
[10:54]	schestowitz-TR2	I didn't say anything to that
[10:55]	techrights-sec[2]	Which are the key resources you would want to use there?  If I understand 
[10:55]	techrights-sec[2]	correctly you are big enough for waterpolo but that is probably too much 
[10:55]	techrights-sec[2]	lung exhaust all around.  
[10:57]	schestowitz-TR2	I could probably do the goalkeeping as I did that since a little kid till 20 (in soccer though)
[10:57]	schestowitz-TR2	but I checked it not for the pools but for gym, showers etc.
[10:57]	schestowitz-TR2	you have reminded me I need to check for replies, if any, in mastodon
[10:57]	schestowitz-TR2	that always felt like a chore
● Oct 25
[11:03]	schestowitz-TR2	just spent 5-10 mins checking comments
[11:03]	schestowitz-TR2	it was not time well spent
[11:03]	schestowitz-TR2	and thought me not much new
[11:03]	schestowitz-TR2	mostyl a lot of scrolling
[11:03]	schestowitz-TR2	irc is a lot more effective than these GUIs
[11:13]		*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	arbitrary thought: in the early 2000s I wrote articles differently
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	those were articles based on other articles
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	because journalism existed
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	in my text file I'd add my references with excerpts from them
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	not it is difficult
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	as even if there is coverage of some issue, usually there is only one source for it
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	rianne told me this morning about sites she noticed were dying, inc. techrepublic (spam)
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	I gave her some more examples (she reads similar feeds to me)
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	she then mentioned what happened tio IPFire (licence infringment)
[11:20]	schestowitz-TR2	I said to her that a decade ago there would be article about it, but not anyore

[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	Like forecast in the mid-1990s, the centralized nature of web-based publishing
[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	ensures that whole decades worth of material vanishes at the pull of a plug
[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	or the stroke of a key.  Each site has one, and only one, copy.  When that is
[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	gone, it does not matter how many people were using it or how important or
[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	relevant the material was, it is gone.         
[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	With paper copies, those were distributed and the recipient could decide (legally) whether to preserve their copi
[12:12]	techrights-sec[2]	es and for how long.  
[12:23]	techrights-sec[2]	So, as web sites fade away, it becomes more and more important for individual
[12:23]	techrights-sec[2]	posts to stand on their own, with quotes and other supporting data self-        
[12:23]	techrights-sec[2]	contained as possbile.

[13:31]	schestowitz-TR2	ffs
[13:31]	schestowitz-TR2	I think I see what the issue is with my site now
[13:31]	schestowitz-TR2	many CMS bits don't work at the back end or altogether
[13:31]	schestowitz-TR2	not just my blof 
[13:31]	schestowitz-TR2	they probably "upgraded" PHP or something
[13:31]	schestowitz-TR2	maybe not as severe as I thought -- they're looking into it atm
[13:45]	schestowitz-TR2	i was right, it was php versions
[13:45]	schestowitz-TR2	seems to be settled now
[13:45]	schestowitz-TR2	they set my account to old compat mode
[13:45]	schestowitz-TR2	php is messy business

[13:52]	schestowitz-TR2	static pages help overcome some of these changes
[13:52]	schestowitz-TR2	sometimes the cost of keeping a site offline become astronomical
[13:52]	schestowitz-TR2	as you need to rewrite a piece of software just to keep some ARCHIVES online
[13:52]	schestowitz-TR2	and some sites would rather shut down (go offline) than do this
[13:52]	schestowitz-TR2	sometimes you want to tell folks, slow down a bit, stop "innovating", you'e breaking people's workflows
[13:52]	schestowitz-TR2	and data far too often

[14:56]	schestowitz-TR2	I'm not even sure if train companies are permitted to pass data like this

[15:35]	schestowitz-TR2	thanks, i'll think of how to cover this
[15:35]	schestowitz-TR2	rianne meanwhile says, why can't they just make software that lasts many years and is maintained for a long time?
[15:35]	schestowitz-TR2	it's not a rhetorical questiob
[15:35]	schestowitz-TR2	it is partly the outcome of software being managed by suits rather then geeks like openbsd
[15:36]	schestowitz-TR2	e.g. in the case of linux, sheela microsoft and her wife james
[15:36]	schestowitz-TR2	being NOT techical but merely exploiting technical people (to get rich)
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	Part of the reason they can't do that is because M$ has sold people software  
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	using the Appeal To Novelty (argumentum ad novitatem) that the drones in 
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	purchasing and the suits in the C-suite evaluate software based on very
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	few other critera other than version number.  Recall in the NT vs Netware days
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	they jump the versions up to have a higher number than the competition.  Then
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	renamed it to "2000"
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	And part of that comes down to few to none of todays institutions having an
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	actual IT department where they /support/ the mission critical teams in finding
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	easier, more efficient tools and methods.  Instead they have all become 
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	embedded M$ resellers working against the company using the company's own 
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	money.  
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	"newer is not better; different is not better; only better is better;"
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	OpenBSD doesn't support any old versions beyond n-1 because they have positioned
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	themselves as mostly a research and development team and that is the way to
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	be able to drop old cruft.  Ensuring "backwards compatibility" too long
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	ensures that some cruft never goes away.  That's why so many remote exploits
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	affect all known versions of M$ Windows.  Or as they put it, the exploits are
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	known to affect the old but supported versions but no info about the "latest
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	version".  Then they push for across the board upgrades to the latest version.
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	Then after a pause of a few days or a week, it is quitely mentioned that 
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	the "latest version" is also equally vulnerable, but to buy the new version 
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	anyway.
[15:41]	techrights-sec[2]	s/That's why/That's one of the many reasons why/
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	type z "BS job": keep changing things that work
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	this way things change
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	and money changes hands 
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	there are theories of so-called 'economists' about flow of money
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	which I don't quite get
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	first, money does not exist per se
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	it's a token/barter -- a concept 
[15:48]	schestowitz-TR2	passing a goat from one person to another person to another person
[15:49]	schestowitz-TR2	yields no productive "gain"
[15:49]	schestowitz-TR2	so ideally you can buy a radio alarm clock (fm) that lasts you a lifetime
[15:49]	schestowitz-TR2	and build a home with good enough materials
[15:49]	schestowitz-TR2	(not going into specifics about all the things that go wrong with "modern" homes, built fast and cheaply to look
[15:49]	schestowitz-TR2	good on the surface)
[15:49]	schestowitz-TR2	cars diminish in value so fast that only a job and peer pressure can justify buying a "modern" one

[15:49]	techrights-sec[2]	New appliances apparently have input from engineers assigned the task of having
[15:49]	techrights-sec[2]	critical components fail just after the warranty expires.  e.g. plastic
[15:49]	techrights-sec[2]	encased bearings, glued-in perishable batteries, decomposing belts, etc
[15:49]	techrights-sec[2]	biab (wiring another computer)
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	a sceptic or cynic would scoff and say "conpricacy theorist"
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	without having read about the light bulb cartel or similar
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	there are hardly proseuctions for bribery anymore (see Microsoft)
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	so cracking down on price-fixing cartels(petrol, food, electronics with patents)
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	not likely any time soon
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	there are ways to shun them (direct action, personal) but it comes with some temporary inconveniences
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	and means you go through life having to constantly challenge and argue with "systems"
[15:54]	schestowitz-TR2	the aspiration is, make more people out there challenge the system to the point where it becomes

[17:02]	techrights-sec[2]	and they spend much of their time playing administrivia with the bureacracy's 
[17:02]	techrights-sec[2]	proprietary software locked into Windows instead of teaching or doing research
[17:02]	techrights-sec[2]	The Bologne Treaty toroedoed the system already in 1998 but the damage did not
[17:02]	techrights-sec[2]	fully kick in 2003 but instead an academic generation or two later as the 
[17:02]	techrights-sec[2]	real people aged out.
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	in 2000 i started bsd
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	in 2003 phd
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	in 2005 i questioned my mentor (cs dept head) about postdoc jobs
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	he said they're expected to work well beyond 9-5
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	that was 17 years ago
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	i later discovered how low a pay and "administrivia" too
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	like swiping card and filling out time sheets
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	like I was 15 again working at Burger King
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	and even comparable salaries!
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	/s/bsd/bsc/
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	that necessarily means those who can do decent research won't be postdocs
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	they need to eat 
[17:02]	schestowitz-TR2	the sysadmins at uni were so awful that it's a miracle they even got the responsibilities
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR2	like wiping a whole server without even telling tenants
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR2	without doing any backups
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR2	after getting cracked
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR2	they are probably fake 'tech' people who just could not find employment anywhere slese
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR2	*else
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR2	(obv. they could not conduct research, either)
[17:04]	techrights-sec[2]	Unqualified flunkies are easier to keep on short leash because the managers
[17:04]	techrights-sec[2]	can boss them around because the flunky knows he is both highly unqualified and
[17:04]	techrights-sec[2]	can be replaced on a whim
[17:06]	schestowitz-TR2	we have those in our company now
[17:06]	schestowitz-TR2	using "Ubuntu" in VirtualBox (Windows)
[17:06]	schestowitz-TR2	with degree in "Classics"
[17:06]	schestowitz-TR2	and no real ability to solve technical issues

[17:28]	schestowitz-TR2	but more research is needed
