Techrights-sec2ok.  added.  watch the next few days to ensure that the autmated summaries                                           │Oct 31 00:18
Techrights-sec2are correct for that site.                                                                                           │Oct 31 00:18
Techrights-sec2That's quite a backlog.  TR published a lot of scoops.  That's both good                                             │Oct 31 00:18

Techrights-secThere's disturbingly little competition for coverage of patents,Oct 31 00:38
Techrights-secespecially software patents.  Oct 31 00:38
schestowitz-TROK, since you have opened it upOct 31 00:40
schestowitz-TRToday I reminded Rianne:Oct 31 00:40
schestowitz-TRSometimes in life we knowingly delude ourselvesOct 31 00:40
schestowitz-TRfOct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRFor convenienceOct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRIn the case of EPO and patent coverageOct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRIt used to bother me a lot that media fled the sceneOct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRTo not be demoralised, as all the patent stuff in the "news" is 95%+ liesOct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRI say, OK...Oct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRSo there is this vacuum hereOct 31 00:41
schestowitz-TRand we can take advantage to 'monopolise' that voidOct 31 00:41
Techrights-secYes, thee vaccuum is to the advantage of TR, but it would be harder for the Oct 31 00:44
Techrights-secsoftware patent boosters when there are more sites covering the topic. Oct 31 00:44
Techrights-secIMO that applies even when or if TR remains the main site.  Yes, the policitianOct 31 00:44
Techrights-secclass do favor topics presented to the public via the mainstream media.Oct 31 00:44
Techrights-secSo even small coverage there has a lot of impact.  However, the statsOct 31 00:44
Techrights-sec(shown here a few months ago) indicate that most newsrooms have closedOct 31 00:44
Techrights-secand the ones remaining don't even have a skeleton crew and many of thoseOct 31 00:44
Techrights-seccheat by turning to convenient disinformation sources like social control mediaOct 31 00:44
Techrights-secinstead of sending a mail or getting on the phone.Oct 31 00:44
schestowitz-TRI would rather the MSM  DID in fact cover thisOct 31 00:45
schestowitz-TRand that MPs/MEps spoke outOct 31 00:45
schestowitz-TRBut I am not in control of itOct 31 00:45
schestowitz-TRI did tryOct 31 00:45
*psydroid3 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)Oct 31 00:45
Techrights-secFor example, a long time ago, ZDNet actually had very good GNU/Linux coverage.Oct 31 00:46
Techrights-secIt's not all about the media though.  It's world-level politics, such thatOct 31 00:46
Techrights-secthe Pentagon and various three letter agencies want their say in things, too.Oct 31 00:46
schestowitz-TRBTW, I am rearranging Cecil the central mnachin, shuffle long overdueOct 31 00:46
schestowitz-TRWe have an hour as a 'gift' this weekend (compensation for the hour stolen half a year ago)Oct 31 00:47
Techrights-secOS changes or general file tidying?Oct 31 00:48
Techrights-secI, among many others, would rathe stay on the same schedule year round.Oct 31 00:48
Techrights-secNothing is gained by the changes any more, if ever.  In fact there areOct 31 00:48
Techrights-seca lot of health and safety problems brought in by the constant flipping ofOct 31 00:48
Techrights-secthe clocks back and forth. Oct 31 00:48
schestowitz-TRackOct 31 00:49
Techrights-secIt's something non-controversial enough that I should use as an excuseOct 31 00:49
Techrights-secto write my representatives about it.Oct 31 00:49
schestowitz-TRam trying to improve visibility of what's important and obscuring the rest, maximising the space of 7 screensOct 31 00:50
Techrights-secAh.  So the rearrangment is happening with the window sizes and positions?Oct 31 00:51
schestowitz-TRamongst another things, as it's not as simple as it sounds, take lateral thingkingOct 31 00:52
schestowitz-TR*takesOct 31 00:52
Techrights-secYes, there is some abstraction necessary to group the tasks approrpiately.Oct 31 00:53
Techrights-secX2Go?Oct 31 00:53
schestowitz-TRsynergy and barrierOct 31 00:54
schestowitz-TRI really should not have to use ANY virtual desktops, but I still do Oct 31 00:54
schestowitz-TRmoving eyeball (rarely need to move head) is faster than clicking)Oct 31 00:55
Techrights-secSome DEs are more conducive to virtual desktops than others.  Same for workflowsOct 31 00:56
Techrights-secLess cognitive effort too, as part of that speed.Oct 31 00:56
schestowitz-TRwhen clicking to move from one thing to another something I forget what I was going to do or check nextOct 31 00:57
Techrights-secHmm My memory is too short recently especially the last few months.  Oct 31 00:58
schestowitz-TRprobably a coincidence, but pfizer takers told me the same latelyOct 31 00:59
Techrights-secIt's really quite profound problem with short term memory, but I'm findingOct 31 01:00
Techrights-secthat /most/ really old memories are fading or gone fairly recently too.Oct 31 01:00
schestowitz-TRlast night it took me an unusually long time to fall asleep because I tested my ability to recall things that happpend 25 years ago (school trips mostyly, hiking clubs, akin to US couts)Oct 31 01:01
schestowitz-TR*ScoutdsOct 31 01:01
schestowitz-TR*ScoutsOct 31 01:01
schestowitz-TRIn my 20s, when it was quiet at work, I wrote down a few hundreds of pages (LaTeX) of chiuldhood memories and various listsOct 31 01:05
Techrights-secEvents from what I used to remember are fading, I remember rememberng them,Oct 31 01:08
Techrights-secor worseremember rememberng remembering them.  As a kid I had a nearly       Oct 31 01:08
Techrights-secphotographic memory for a lot of things.Oct 31 01:08
Techrights-secAnything 'not Windows (tm)' is increasingly getting lumped in together asOct 31 01:08
Techrights-sec'Linux' in the press.  Take VMWare, it is NOT Linux.  Oct 31 01:08
Techrights-secackOct 31 01:08
Techrights-secNo writing like that on my part but I used to very easily recall people andOct 31 01:08
Techrights-secevents.  Now many things are a complete blank and no amount of promptingOct 31 01:08
Techrights-seccan bring forth even a glimmer of recollection.  Oct 31 01:08
schestowitz-TRage isn't a factor until later in life (cell loss), so I think it's a matter of "access" to keep storeOct 31 01:10
schestowitz-TRI'm still trying to figure out how to see all the channels, with and without the scriuptsOct 31 01:10
Techrights-secIt's probably partially stress damage.Oct 31 01:11
Techrights-secMaybe set up tall, narrow windows in the browser or IRC client?Oct 31 01:11
schestowitz-TRthere are already 4 files related to tail in git, which I added this monthOct 31 01:12
