I can just add what you've asked for

schestowitz-TR

I have lots of tasks to do on it tonight anyway, as it's a new year and some stuff needs intervention

schestowitz-TR

(I have a list)

schestowitz-TR

I've long regarded it, based on what I saw, to be a hostile site of Microsofters

Dec 31 10:48

schestowitz-TR

this article is... terrible in a lot of ways

Dec 31 10:48

schestowitz-TR

i don't even know if this hostility is intentional

schestowitz-TR

at least in this case

schestowitz-TR

still asessign the text

schestowitz-TR

I wonder where he got the "facts" from

schestowitz-TR

Reddit Robertson?

techrightssec2

Should analyticsindiamag be added to the spam list so it is avoided in the

techrightssec2

future?

techrightssec2

It's probably just out of misinformation and ignorance

techrightssec2

but that in itself is a problem.

schestowitz-TR

don't spam it yet

schestowitz-TR

I think he didn't mean harm

schestowitz-TR

but I always became cynical when I saw the domain

schestowitz-TR

they boosted github and microsoft a lot

schestowitz-TR

and only counted projects controlled by microsoft

schestowitz-TR

but that was years ago

Dec 31 10:54

techrightssec2

the misunderstanding and pointing to links describing how m$ lied about Minix

Dec 31 10:54

techrightssec2

might help clear things up.

schestowitz-TR

if you can find contact details, good. I saw only a bio. harping about space something

schestowitz-TR

nothing related to microsoft

schestowitz-TR

like I said, maybe the edeitor chose the nasty headline

schestowitz-TR

and is a microsofter

schestowitz-TR

provocation can get theme more clicks

schestowitz-TR

btw, i remarked on larabel in irc

schestowitz-TR

he's feeding anti-linux articles atm

schestowitz-TR

to sell amd's crap

schestowitz-TR

i don't trust amd at all! in some ways they've advanced to more sinister things than intel

schestowitz-TR

they are run by an oimber

schestowitz-TR

*imber

schestowitz-TR

*ibmer

schestowitz-TR

like hovsepian

If the editor is working against the staff by being a microsofter then he must

Dec 31 10:59

techrightssec2

be let go posthaste

Dec 31 10:59

schestowitz-TR

info or editor might reach the gatekeeper

schestowitz-TR

hence have no effect

schestowitz-TR

unless you reach reach the author by name directly

schestowitz-TR

it feels like they turned a well-MEANING article into a nasty piece that says the opposite

schestowitz-TR

mocking linux

schestowitz-TR

like the leaked presentation

schestowitz-TR

with "believes in santa"

schestowitz-TR

nobody uses android

schestowitz-TR

etc etc.

schestowitz-TR

or: linux is GAFAM's only

schestowitz-TR

of course gnu is never mentioned at all

schestowitz-TR

and they use as references quora

schestowitz-TR

yes, quora

schestowitz-TR

randomGuy from quora

techrightssec2

True.

schestowitz-TR

did you hit wrong button?

schestowitz-TR

anyway, I can retype what I was typing re nitter if you did not see it

schestowitz-TR

short story, nitter.eu won't redirect anymore

schestowitz-TR

use nitter.pussthecat.org

schestowitz-TR

i did not click anything strange

schestowitz-TR

maybe a connection problem

schestowitz-TR

it does not matter

schestowitz-TR

you posted some email addresses or somethingnot sure there was anything critical there

techrightssec2

probaly hit the wrong button but not aware of doing so

techrightssec2

I saw the nitter info, thanks. The other domains seem down too

techrightssec2

Nah, it was probably on my end.

It'd probably worth sending a very brief mail his way 1) to test the address

Dec 31 12:03

techrightssec2

2) to provide a little feedback

Dec 31 12:03

techrightssec2

to sound out their actual stance on FOSS

Parts 1, 2, and 3 of Andy's series need links forward in the TOC. The internal

techrightssec2

link method is unfamiliar. Can you please fix 1, 2, and 3 so that the TOC

techrightssec2

points to all four parts? It would help people to find their way through

techrightssec2

the series.

schestowitz-TR

ok, wait

I am doing a post about gemini's growth

The latter, it would have passed by default if unaddressed by 28 Dec 2022

techrightssec2

However, Hochul got a shitload of carve outs including exceptions for

techrightssec2

farm equipment, motor vehicles, medical equipment, data center equipment, and

techrightssec2

a few others. On top of that, there is a "safety" / "security" except across

techrightssec2

the board and the encouragement of selling clusters of components as "assemblies" to dodge selling individual com

techrightssec2

ponents.

schestowitz-TR

regarding hochul, this is very typical of activism

schestowitz-TR

upc is a good example of it

schestowitz-TR

persistence is needed

schestowitz-TR

because the system is not an instrument os jutice

schestowitz-TR

you need to keep punching at it

schestowitz-TR

to get anything just

Louis routinely mistakes comments from astroturfers and shills as honest

techrightssec2

comments, but otherwise he is fairly street smart in regards to politics.

techrightssec2

He has personally been most of the way through the school of hard knocks

techrightssec2

on his pursuit of "Right to Repair" issues for his business.

oh, shit, looking at blogs today I realised many people had a truly shitty year this year

schestowitz-TR

like really, really bad

schestowitz-TR

not just economic reasons

schestowitz-TR

or war

schestowitz-TR

afaik, there are no promises made for 2023 that would give people morale

schestowitz-TR

my sister says the news does not cover suicide stats for fear it would reinforce a mood

schestowitz-TR

and by doing so increase or exacerbate the problem

schestowitz-TR

I've just added 4 links to TM

schestowitz-TR

seems nobody had a good year

schestowitz-TR

and the same was true for prior years
