[00:18] Techrights-sec2 That's quite a backlog. TR published a lot of scoops. That's both good [00:18] Techrights-sec2 and bad. [00:18] *Techrights-sec2 is now known as Techrights-sec [00:27] *leah has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:27] *leah (~leah@wrh2nipuzrd3y.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [00:38] Techrights-sec There's disturbingly little competition for coverage of patents, [00:38] Techrights-sec especially software patents. [00:40] schestowitz-TR OK, since you have opened it up [00:40] schestowitz-TR Today I reminded Rianne: [00:40] schestowitz-TR Sometimes in life we knowingly delude ourselves [00:41] schestowitz-TR f [00:41] schestowitz-TR For convenience [00:41] schestowitz-TR In the case of EPO and patent coverage [00:41] schestowitz-TR It used to bother me a lot that media fled the scene [00:41] schestowitz-TR To not be demoralised, as all the patent stuff in the "news" is 95%+ lies [00:41] schestowitz-TR I say, OK... [00:41] schestowitz-TR So there is this vacuum here [00:41] schestowitz-TR and we can take advantage to 'monopolise' that void [00:44] Techrights-sec Yes, thee vaccuum is to the advantage of TR, but it would be harder for the [00:44] Techrights-sec software patent boosters when there are more sites covering the topic. [00:44] Techrights-sec IMO that applies even when or if TR remains the main site. Yes, the policitian [00:44] Techrights-sec class do favor topics presented to the public via the mainstream media. [00:44] Techrights-sec So even small coverage there has a lot of impact. However, the stats [00:44] Techrights-sec (shown here a few months ago) indicate that most newsrooms have closed [00:44] Techrights-sec and the ones remaining don't even have a skeleton crew and many of those [00:44] Techrights-sec cheat by turning to convenient disinformation sources like social control media [00:44] Techrights-sec instead of sending a mail or getting on the phone. [00:45] schestowitz-TR I would rather the MSM DID in fact cover this [00:45] schestowitz-TR and that MPs/MEps spoke out [00:45] schestowitz-TR But I am not in control of it [00:45] schestowitz-TR I did try [00:45] *psydroid3 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:46] Techrights-sec For example, a long time ago, ZDNet actually had very good GNU/Linux coverage. [00:46] Techrights-sec It's not all about the media though. It's world-level politics, such that [00:46] Techrights-sec the Pentagon and various three letter agencies want their say in things, too. [00:46] schestowitz-TR BTW, I am rearranging Cecil the central mnachin, shuffle long overdue [00:47] schestowitz-TR We have an hour as a 'gift' this weekend (compensation for the hour stolen half a year ago) [00:48] Techrights-sec OS changes or general file tidying? [00:48] Techrights-sec I, among many others, would rathe stay on the same schedule year round. [00:48] Techrights-sec Nothing is gained by the changes any more, if ever. In fact there are [00:48] Techrights-sec a lot of health and safety problems brought in by the constant flipping of [00:48] Techrights-sec the clocks back and forth. [00:49] schestowitz-TR ack [00:49] Techrights-sec It's something non-controversial enough that I should use as an excuse [00:49] Techrights-sec to write my representatives about it. [00:50] schestowitz-TR am trying to improve visibility of what's important and obscuring the rest, maximising the space of 7 screens [00:51] Techrights-sec Ah. So the rearrangment is happening with the window sizes and positions? [00:52] schestowitz-TR amongst another things, as it's not as simple as it sounds, take lateral thingking [00:52] schestowitz-TR *takes [00:53] Techrights-sec Yes, there is some abstraction necessary to group the tasks approrpiately. [00:53] Techrights-sec X2Go? [00:54] schestowitz-TR synergy and barrier [00:54] schestowitz-TR I really should not have to use ANY virtual desktops, but I still do [00:55] schestowitz-TR moving eyeball (rarely need to move head) is faster than clicking) [00:56] Techrights-sec Some DEs are more conducive to virtual desktops than others. Same for workflows [00:56] Techrights-sec Less cognitive effort too, as part of that speed. [00:57] schestowitz-TR when clicking to move from one thing to another something I forget what I was going to do or check next [00:58] Techrights-sec Hmm My memory is too short recently especially the last few months. [00:59] schestowitz-TR probably a coincidence, but pfizer takers told me the same lately ● Oct 31 [01:00] Techrights-sec It's really quite profound problem with short term memory, but I'm finding [01:00] Techrights-sec that /most/ really old memories are fading or gone fairly recently too. [01:01] schestowitz-TR last 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) [01:01] schestowitz-TR *Scoutds [01:01] schestowitz-TR *Scouts [01:05] schestowitz-TR In my 20s, when it was quiet at work, I wrote down a few hundreds of pages (LaTeX) of chiuldhood memories and various lists [01:08] Techrights-sec Events from what I used to remember are fading, I remember rememberng them, [01:08] Techrights-sec or worseremember rememberng remembering them. As a kid I had a nearly [01:08] Techrights-sec photographic memory for a lot of things. [01:08] Techrights-sec Anything 'not Windows (tm)' is increasingly getting lumped in together as [01:08] Techrights-sec 'Linux' in the press. Take VMWare, it is NOT Linux. [01:08] Techrights-sec ack [01:08] Techrights-sec No writing like that on my part but I used to very easily recall people and [01:08] Techrights-sec events. Now many things are a complete blank and no amount of prompting [01:08] Techrights-sec can bring forth even a glimmer of recollection. [01:10] schestowitz-TR age isn't a factor until later in life (cell loss), so I think it's a matter of "access" to keep store [01:10] schestowitz-TR I'm still trying to figure out how to see all the channels, with and without the scriupts [01:11] Techrights-sec It's probably partially stress damage. [01:11] Techrights-sec Maybe set up tall, narrow windows in the browser or IRC client? [01:12] schestowitz-TR there are already 4 files related to tail in git, which I added this month [01:12] *altlink_3d2 has quit (connection closed) [01:12] *altlink_718 (~altlink_718@2f7u5j6f87p9g.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [01:17] Techrights-sec I count 9 like that.
