|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-pi2 | without any videos and barely any images | Feb 26 02:50 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | the fish is still alive, but almost a week now refusing to eat and getting weaker as a result | Feb 26 02:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the parasite may be gone, but she needs o start eating for any chance of recovery | Feb 26 02:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's a very small fish | Feb 26 02:50 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | some bit cut (20% for inlaw) | Feb 26 10:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the compromises of work/life change | Feb 26 10:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | inflation, pay, conditions | Feb 26 10:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no more home/WFH | Feb 26 10:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this way they can get rid of workers without layoffs | Feb 26 10:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | people retire/resign | Feb 26 10:19 |
| techrights[sec] | The details are important: which divisions are being cut and which | Feb 26 10:19 |
| techrights[sec] | skills, or lack thereof, are being kicked to the curb? | Feb 26 10:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | software side 5% pay cut | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the big pay cut is hardware/gate design | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 20% | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but maybe was overpaid | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | *basf | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2,000 iirc | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | tomshardware mentioned intel pay cuts | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then changed the headline | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as noted in irc today | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | to omit that part | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i assume the editor got contacted | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | intelis smashed by tomshardware | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and then comes a puff piece too | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | after they reported some products being canceled | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i remember techrights irc getting micromoles trying to melittle azure layoffs | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | even if they quietly happen every year | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and microsoft insists azure is the future | Feb 26 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some people i know left at the optical time or the optimum being the time where the tradeoff between | Feb 26 10:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | pay grade and abuse received/tolerate isn't worth it. if the abuses increases and relative (to prices) | Feb 26 10:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | compensationgoes down, then the equation yields another outcome. glad i stayed in till i did. | Feb 26 10:28 |

| techrights[sec] | Azure is a money pit for m$ | Feb 26 10:34 |
| techrights[sec] | Azure is a money pit for m$ | Feb 26 10:35 |
| techrights[sec] | Billions for bailing out failed business models, like Azure | Feb 26 10:35 |
| techrights[sec] | or m$ in general. | Feb 26 10:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | .. | Feb 26 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | azure, microsoft, banks... | Feb 26 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no lack of money if they have the "connections" | Feb 26 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or buy connections (aka "lobbyists") | Feb 26 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or bribe by proxy | Feb 26 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> BASF to Cut 2,600 Jobs After a Year of High Energy Costs ☞ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/24/world/europe/basf-layoffs-germany.html | Feb 26 10:41 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.nytimes.com | BASF to Cut 2,600 Jobs After a Year of High Energy Costs - The New York Times | Feb 26 10:41 | |
| schestowitz-pi2 | second report i see about it | Feb 26 10:42 |
| techrights[sec] | The got into the Biden campaign and via his win into the White House, | Feb 26 10:42 |
| techrights[sec] | Now it looks like they spend more time in DC than in Redmond, lobbying, bribing | Feb 26 10:42 |
| techrights[sec] | misleading, lying, etc. | Feb 26 10:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | war contracts in ukraine | Feb 26 10:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 'saving' ukraine from the mess they themselves bred if not created and contribute to | Feb 26 10:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | inflaming, then putting out SOME flames | Feb 26 10:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | making sure some are left for later "work" | Feb 26 10:43 |
| *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed) | Feb 26 10:54 | |
| *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cbcfptirpkfqa.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 26 10:56 | |
| techrights[sec] | M$ created those problems, at least as far as the "cyber" part goes. Now | Feb 26 11:37 |
| techrights[sec] | in return for having created a "cyber" disaster, they are being rewarded by | Feb 26 11:37 |
| techrights[sec] | the outsourcing of critical UA government infrastructure into Axzure so that | Feb 26 11:37 |
| techrights[sec] | "all" sides have equal access to it. It's not the way it should have been done. | Feb 26 11:37 |
| techrights[sec] | M$ should have been punished not rewarded for abject failure. | Feb 26 11:37 |
| *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Feb 26 14:17 | |
| schestowitz-pi2 | still trying to find the optimal way to handle the feeds, this may take some time | Feb 26 14:35 |
| *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cbcfptirpkfqa.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 26 14:50 | |
| schestowitz-pi2 | of note: i installed some adblocking in firefox | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | unlike invidious, which i use for linking, it does show 2 ads prioe to videos, but | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it suspends them from playinmg | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this means that when opening a youtube url i need to wait about 25 secs before I can even | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | play the video I wish to watch | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the ads show up only as images | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe to full gulag into thinking i watched something and skipped | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but 25 secs to load a vidseo is a long time | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and that also assume you already installed some addons | Feb 26 14:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | addons that probably won't work like this months later | Feb 26 14:52 |
| techrights[sec] | I'm finding the feed script rather efficient. It lacks a lot of functionality | Feb 26 16:56 |
| techrights[sec] | but the work flow involves less repetition and little to no unscheduled | Feb 26 16:56 |
| techrights[sec] | surfing. --keep works when loading in a new OPML file yet retains state info | Feb 26 16:56 |
| techrights[sec] | for the existing feeds. Otherwise, running it with no parameters takes only | Feb 26 16:56 |
| techrights[sec] | a few minutes to load close to 700 feeds. | Feb 26 16:56 |
| techrights[sec] | Then it takes about 30 to 60 minutes to process them. | Feb 26 16:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i might head to bed soon | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | manchester might be getting another trophy soon (football, final) | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | to explain what i do atm with feeds | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | I have a full skeletal expansion of most but not all feeds | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some contain complex html, some only summaries | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | which isfine | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in firefox i have a more complete overview, but i don't always wish to open bloated pages | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | one by one | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | how to arrange all this on the screen I'm not sure yet | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the way i do it right now is rather poor | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as i use virtual desktops, despite having 9 screens | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | one alternative approach might be, open firefox over ssh -X | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or offload the file to another machine, then open from there | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 5 screens are connected ok through barrier with full keyboar support | Feb 26 17:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and clipboard too | Feb 26 17:41 |
| techrights[sec] | 1) run script based on established states | Feb 26 17:42 |
| techrights[sec] | 2) triage titles by middle clicking on potential articles | Feb 26 17:42 |
| techrights[sec] | 3) go through the open tabs | Feb 26 17:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | with mouse buttons 4 and 5 i can more neatly deal with items I like, fewer clicks | Feb 26 17:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and no tabs, but it's easier to open from within a browser if necessary | Feb 26 17:43 |
