| schestowitz-TR | lunduke uploading to youtube again, people ask why he deleted everything | Dec 28 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | he says his asthma is back and he sounds like a smoker | Dec 28 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he speaks in crypto about issues to sell subscription to articles | Dec 28 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | without actually saying anything, to protect the paywall | Dec 28 07:42 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.opensourceforu.com | More Shell Programming Secrets Nobody Talks About | Dec 28 10:22 | |
| schestowitz-TR | i wondered the same a week agoi | Dec 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a very weird site, but hit and miss | Dec 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't think it is automated | Dec 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems like msft layoffs rumours intensify | Dec 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on web traffic in TR | Dec 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | msft might delay to "prove" the rumours 'wrong' | Dec 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it's coming | Dec 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | https://www.opensourceforu.com/2022/12/more-shell-programming-secrets-nobody-talks-about More Shell Programming Secrets Nobody Talks About | Dec 28 10:41 |
| techrightssec2 | Overall layoffs at M$ are good but a harmful sideeffect is that the scum find | Dec 28 10:46 |
| techrightssec2 | other employers and carry m$ toxic culture and products over to their new | Dec 28 10:46 |
| techrightssec2 | paymasters, effectively still working for m$ | Dec 28 10:46 |
| techrightssec2 | One can hope... | Dec 28 10:46 |
| techrightssec2 | "talent" | Dec 28 10:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | some are on visa and not many companies hire | Dec 28 10:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the "dead weight" might end up almost nowhere | Dec 28 10:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | or so one can hope...nobody wants "WINDOWS TALENT" [sic] | Dec 28 10:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. now with constrained budgets | Dec 28 10:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | look at it like this, | Dec 28 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | where would you rather have them? | Dec 28 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | in msft or outside? | Dec 28 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | death is not an option | Dec 28 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | is msft gets smaller, that's a plus | Dec 28 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | i've just realises andy's series does not talk much about free softwware | Dec 28 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | it looks at the dystophia from another level | Dec 28 10:48 |
| techrightssec2 | not sure, it'd be best if there were a way to rehabilitate them but they lack | Dec 28 10:57 |
| techrightssec2 | the mindset for computing and the ethics as well, so maybe outside of any | Dec 28 10:57 |
| techrightssec2 | part of ICT and, especially, education would be enough distance | Dec 28 10:57 |
| techrightssec2 | Perhaps each segment can include a mention of how FOSS is useful in mitigating | Dec 28 11:17 |
| techrightssec2 | or even reversing the dystopian trends. | Dec 28 11:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | is there still a way to retrieve paragraphs from bodies in commondreams | Dec 28 11:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | they seem to have changed something over xmas, not it's empty like in truthout | Dec 28 11:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | *now it's empty | Dec 28 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | some other sites are too, but since ages ago | Dec 28 11:37 |
| techrightssec2 | Checking | Dec 28 11:48 |
| techrightssec2 | Thanks for spotting that. It should work correctly starting with tomorrow's feed, they had changed some of the c | Dec 28 11:48 |
| techrightssec2 | lasses involved but otherwise the structure | Dec 28 11:48 |
| techrightssec2 | was the same. | Dec 28 11:48 |
| techrightssec2 | Which others need correction? As always scraping is brittle so if a single | Dec 28 11:48 |
| techrightssec2 | letter or number changes in the wrong place, the script misses the information. | Dec 28 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | Thanks, I think counterpunch still picks par 2-3 due to some old campaign that occupied par 1 | Dec 28 11:51 |
| techrightssec2 | Checking, again | Dec 28 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe we could add some more | Dec 28 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I'm not sure which | Dec 28 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | many are not updating often | Dec 28 12:07 |
| techrightssec2 | ok, counterpunch is now updated and the effects will be seen next time | Dec 28 12:07 |
| techrightssec2 | thanks for spotting that one too | Dec 28 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | going to ahve Daily Links soon | Dec 28 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | more topics would help, might cover andy's thing too | Dec 28 12:08 |
| techrightssec2 | FOSS is useful in mitigating or even reversing the dystopian trends. | Dec 28 12:18 |
| techrightssec2 | ^ topic ? | Dec 28 12:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I will tackle this angle and tell soms of my old stories of "IT dept" in universities | Dec 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | they were awful in the later years | Dec 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | flunkies basically | Dec 28 12:19 |
| *Mio14 has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) | Dec 28 12:34 | |
| techrightssec2 | corporate flunkies working against the university, and double handful of | Dec 28 12:47 |
| techrightssec2 | resellers too | Dec 28 12:47 |
| techrightssec2 | The Manjaro link in "other" shows some persistent misunderstandings, | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | misinformation about the very nature of sw patents. Same for the latest | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | Brodie video in the same batch. Submarine patents are a threat for their | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | entire life cycle and unlike trademarks don't have to be enforced to be | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | kept valid. Like with GIF / LZW a standards-essential patent can be allowed and | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | even encouraged to spread far and wide so as to maximize the amount of money | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | harvested in the shakedown when the patent is enforced for the first time. | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | ^ topic ? | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | (and RMS is right about "IPR" being not only a misnomer but intentionally | Dec 28 14:13 |
| techrightssec2 | confusing people on the separate topics) | Dec 28 14:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, otax3 | Dec 28 14:17 |
| psydruid | how do these (western) patents hold up in countries like India, China and Russia? | Dec 28 14:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | icbm lobbying india | Dec 28 14:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | microsoft also | Dec 28 14:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and using IAM and other rags to shame those countries | Dec 28 14:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | to assimilate | Dec 28 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | done, writing now... | Dec 28 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | x3 | Dec 28 14:49 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 28 14:49 |
| psydruid | I would declare those companies "compania non grata" | Dec 28 14:53 |
| psydruid | they don't do anything for India, but obey their US masters instead | Dec 28 14:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, I might quote you on that | Dec 28 14:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | made 3 videos | Dec 28 14:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | one about swpats | Dec 28 14:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think debian does not play ball because it's not in the US per se | Dec 28 14:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | taking account of SPI and Murdock, it would seem USian | Dec 28 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but many devs are european | Dec 28 14:59 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 28 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | draft | Dec 28 15:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | just realised aral went under the radar for months | Dec 28 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | added second draft while encoding still happening... | Dec 28 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | fediverse = NO GO! | Dec 28 15:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | "I HAVE THINGS TO DO!" | Dec 28 15:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, today I found out "my" bank has a 'web site' that's also "app" | Dec 28 15:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | could not send money with rianne's JS blocker enabled | Dec 28 15:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it just gave some cryptic error message | Dec 28 15:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | time wasted | Dec 28 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | they think MOAR JS = MOAR security | Dec 28 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the bank wants to allow 13 (!!!!!!) domains to run things!! | Dec 28 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | what if one of them sduffered a beach? | Dec 28 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | or rogue insider? | Dec 28 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | or... | Dec 28 15:54 |
| techrightssec2 | I noticed that a while back. He usually posts just past the middle of the month | Dec 28 15:54 |
| techrightssec2 | each month. | Dec 28 15:54 |
| techrightssec2 | Maybe there is something in the fediverse but that's a javascript-only "app" | Dec 28 15:54 |
| techrightssec2 | nowadays | Dec 28 15:54 |
| techrightssec2 | If you check the depencency tree of the fully loaded "app" you | Dec 28 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | If you check the depencency tree of the fully loaded "app" you will probably | Dec 28 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | find many external domains and dozens of javascripts. :/ | Dec 28 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | will probably | Dec 28 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | find many external domains and dozens of javascripts. :/ | Dec 28 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | If you check the depencency tree of the fully loaded "app" you will probably | Dec 28 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | find many external domains and dozens of javascripts. :/ | Dec 28 15:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | later they drone on and on about "supply chain" | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | the real solution is | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | as eu puts it | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | self-host fonts and the like | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | stop bouncing peoople back and forth | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the people who went to "uni" learned frameworks | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they lump them in | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | that bouncing ball animiation might be a spurious framework | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | all sorts of effects whose function does not justify the added risk and bloat | Dec 28 15:59 |
| techrightssec2 | Precisely | Dec 28 15:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | that will cause carbon emissions | Dec 28 15:59 |
| techrightssec2 | The more javascript is used the more bandwidth is consumed fetching the | Dec 28 16:02 |
| techrightssec2 | frameworks and such *and* the more CPU is used on the client. Rather than | Dec 28 16:02 |
| techrightssec2 | putting things server side, which can be more efficient overall in some cases, | Dec 28 16:02 |
| techrightssec2 | the dogma is to push as much onto the clients as possible. | Dec 28 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | edge computing = do things at the client side | Dec 28 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | clown computing = outsource everything, send js crap to the client side | Dec 28 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | abandoned = take a task and do it at the server end | Dec 28 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have another term for that, ee.g. "data mining" or "big data" or "data science" | Dec 28 16:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | HEY HI | Dec 28 16:02 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 28 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | TM traffic leapt about 20% compared to prior months | Dec 28 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | did not check why, does not matter much, but it's an encouraging sign | Dec 28 17:31 |
