| techrightssec2 | A fair amount of referals come via the fediverse, it would seem. | Dec 29 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| techrightssec2 | Those arrive in bursts. It's otherwise mostly random, very recent posts, plus | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | a trickle of bots. Unfortunately some of the bots keep hitting the same pages | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | again and again, or at least "Bing" does that all the time. The other bots | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | seem better programmed and don't do that as much or at all. | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | I looked into the bots many weeks ago but haven't analyzed the recently. | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | A very small portion of the patents embedded in H.264 have expired and a tiny | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | number of additional patents will expire soon: | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | https://www.mpegla.com/wp-content/uploads/avc-att1.pdf | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | Yet phone makers went out of their way to avoid Ogg and paid at great expense | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | to add H.264 with "hardware acceleration". | Dec 29 00:31 |
| techrightssec2 | When do the rest expire? | Dec 29 00:31 |

| schestowitz-TR | not sure how accurate | Dec 29 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think Microsoft has gamed their data in recent months | Dec 29 08:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | in order to fake "success" of vista11 | Dec 29 08:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I cannot prove it | Dec 29 08:55 |
| techrightssec2 | They usually do game or outright cook their data to give the illusion of being | Dec 29 08:56 |
| techrightssec2 | better off than they really are. | Dec 29 08:56 |
| techrightssec2 | If I recall correctly there were some game companies helping them, and probably | Dec 29 09:40 |
| techrightssec2 | still do. It might have been regarding WoW where game clients that used | Dec 29 09:40 |
| techrightssec2 | Windows even once during the first few months were counte as Windows and not | Dec 29 09:40 |
| techrightssec2 | GNU/Linux even if the game was only ever played via GNU/Linux. Those stats | Dec 29 09:40 |
| techrightssec2 | were later used to drop support for the platform. Game support, or more | Dec 29 09:40 |
| techrightssec2 | specifically the politics coming from the gaming companies, is a whole can of | Dec 29 09:40 |
| techrightssec2 | worms. Those issues were discussed online back when Slashdot was still around. | Dec 29 09:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | i still remember this | Dec 29 09:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | many gnu/linux clients pretend to be windows (librewolf does my default; rianne and I look like | Dec 29 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | Firefox on Windows) | Dec 29 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | no wondows clients | Dec 29 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | pretend to be gnu/linux | Dec 29 09:47 |
| techrightssec2 | Yes, many do, exacerbating the problem by not forcing the servers to address | Dec 29 09:49 |
| techrightssec2 | the full market. In the 'old' days, marketers would jump at the chance to | Dec 29 09:49 |
| techrightssec2 | increase their market share by a few percent. Now they are all about forcing | Dec 29 09:49 |
| techrightssec2 | a particular company's corporate ideology in such a way as to actively shrink | Dec 29 09:49 |
| techrightssec2 | market share while responding to compaints with F.O.A.D. | Dec 29 09:49 |

| techrightssec2 | checking | Dec 29 15:38 |
| techrightssec2 | hmm. seems to be in the source html the XPath will need changing | Dec 29 15:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've manually culled the ones from today and am progressing towards bedtime circa 6pm | Dec 29 15:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | been a productive day here at least | Dec 29 15:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | more so tomorrow:-) | Dec 29 15:39 |
| techrightssec2 | yep, the actual text + markup is in the source x3 | Dec 29 15:58 |
| techrightssec2 | ok, the scraper is fixed in regards to commondreams.org but, as always, | Dec 29 16:24 |
| techrightssec2 | scraping remains brittle. | Dec 29 16:24 |
| techrightssec2 | Thanks for catching the change. | Dec 29 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a moving target | Dec 29 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least it lets reading be done better | Dec 29 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | like in books, no mimages to distract me | Dec 29 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can't see the faces of people the articles are about | Dec 29 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this is fine | Dec 29 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | that also shows why gemini is fine | Dec 29 16:26 |

| techrightssec2 | Heads up: Rossmann reported that the NY bill got gutted leaving a useless | Dec 29 16:54 |
| techrightssec2 | piece of garbage with the old bill's name in it's place. The change was a few | Dec 29 16:54 |
| techrightssec2 | words but it effectively opened a loophole that opponents can drive trucks | Dec 29 16:54 |
| techrightssec2 | through. | Dec 29 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | so basically a never-0ending battle with well-funded and tireless lobbyists | Dec 29 16:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | like upc | Dec 29 16:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the media covers it only as suits its owners | Dec 29 16:55 |

| techrightssec2 | It was done more or less outside of democratic processes. | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | It reminds me of when the secretary left the Open Source discussion off of the | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | state of Oregon's agenda for the last session before the end of the season. | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | That ensured it was not discussed with the old legislature, and the new | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | legislature was an entirely different power constellation with different people | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | and all. | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | M$, and in this case also Apple, play the quite corrupt politicians with their | Dec 29 23:55 |
| techrightssec2 | lobbyists and legalized bribery. | Dec 29 23:55 |
