schestowitz                                        <p>Similar to how the International Space Station maintains its orientation, the team’s scaled prototype system relies on a rotating flywheel that generates large amounts of angular momentum in a certain axis. A brushless DC motor and driver are responsible for spinning up the circular mass, while a servo motor on one side rotates the cradle to the desired angle. All of this is done with an Arduino Uno that May 08 08:18

schestowitz[19:46] <source> Alex's dad was a navy coderrMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:46] <source> Then he started a tech company in the 90sMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:46] <source> And then he used that money to become a venture capitalistMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:47] <source> The longer history of their family is a bit mysterious to me my understanding is the cult separated them from the extended familyMay 08 19:02

schestowitzI hope it is WELL established by now that Team Mono does NOT use GNU/Linux. They don't care about GNU/Linux either. They're Microsoft pushers.May 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:51] <schestowitz> thanks, but back to technical aspectsMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:51] <schestowitz> notably githubMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:51] <schestowitz> did he ever mention mono by name?May 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:52] <source> I asked him if he still used to linux on his laptopMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:52] <source> Uses OS XMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:52] <schestowitz> mono people never cared about freedomMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:53] <source> To be perfectly clear Alex was unemployed when we were togetherMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:53] <source> Described himself as semi retiredMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:53] <schestowitz> lolMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:53] <source> He had just moved to AustinMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:54] <source> He was living with his father, step mother and 11 year old half brotherMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:54] <source> Why this was acceptable to me?May 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:54] <source> He explained it as being there to help his father with dialysis treatmentsMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:54] <source> Which sounded honorableMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:55] <source> Anyways I know that's not super of interest but We didn't talk about his work that muchMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:55] <source> He introduced himself mostly based off the dropbox paper thingMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:55] <source> He complained that he had been unfairly forced outMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:56] <source> Which made sense because I've seen a lot of the start of drama and a lot of it is people getting pushed out once the product is valuable to gain control over the moneyMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:56] <source> I later learned that the reason why Alex was actually pushed out of dropbox was because he was verbally abusive to his coworkersMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:56] <source> Who knows maybe dropbox would've never pushed him out if they weren't trying to steal his work or whateverMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:57] <source> Maybe the only reason they validated the abuse claims was because they wanted his work and wanted to cut his equity dealMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:57] <source> From my experience that seems likelyMay 08 19:02
schestowitz[19:58] <schestowitz> i seeMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[19:58] <source>  with regards to the github stuff there was always an underlying threat that He would tell his network and ruin me if I didn't complyMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[19:59] <source> A few months after the break Up there was this weird situation at my jobMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[19:59] <source> This was before Covid and we were in the officeMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[19:59] <source> The CTO of my company was visiting from San Francisco in the Austin officeMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[20:00] <source> He stood by my desk and loudly bragged about how he was friends with Nat and kept glancing at meMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[20:00] <source> Maybe it was a coincidence and everybody likes to name dropMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[20:00] <source> Brian xxxxxxxxxxxxxxMay 08 19:03
schestowitz[20:01] <source> Who honestly doesn't have the right credentials to be a CTO, but BigCommerce is a technical nightmareMay 08 19:03

schestowitz> please consider redacting my name and replacing it with [volunteer].May 08 23:48
schestowitz> One of the reasons they keep sending these things is to put my name inMay 08 23:48
schestowitz> as many places as possible and if you deny them that, it shows them thatMay 08 23:48
schestowitz> you can see right through them.May 08 23:48
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> Nonetheless, publishing it would be useful to show they are trying toMay 08 23:49

schestowitz> May 08 23:49

schestowitz> DebConf22 is a sore spot for them.May 08 23:49
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> Did they contact you about the grooming blogs too?  It seems they don'tMay 08 23:49
schestowitz> care about the underage girl thing but they do care if women will beMay 08 23:49
schestowitz> apprehensive about DebConf22.May 08 23:49
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> Did they send you any more emails like that about the same blog?May 08 23:49
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> Did you engage in any discussion to try and see if they tell you more?May 08 23:49
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> It would be useful to show that the real reason DebConf22 goes to KosovoMay 08 23:49
schestowitz> is for girlfriending and this is also the reason they keep putting moneyMay 08 23:49
schestowitz> in Outreachy even though the women always quit.May 08 23:49
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> debian.community may be deterring women from DebConf, Outreachy or both.May 08 23:49
schestowitz>  Kosovo is only a small country.  All the girls know that Debian wantsMay 08 23:49
schestowitz> to take pictures of them.  This is probably why they send an email.May 08 23:49
schestowitz> May 08 23:49
schestowitz> In other words, they are probably doing this SLAPP thing to try andMay 08 23:49

schestowitz> rather than because of the Mossad blog.  The Cohen/Mossad thing mayMay 08 23:49
schestowitz> simply be an unlucky coincidence.May 08 23:49
schestowitzThe Kosovo stuff struck a nerve to the point where merely linking to it got TuxMachines an email from one of (IIRC) the organisers.May 08 23:49
schestowitzThe "Mossad" post was problematic for deducing one's nationality implies Mossad employment; it's like accusing every American Debian developer of being a CIA mole.May 08 23:49
schestowitzI've run Boycott Novell since 2006 and I know one single factual error or claim that cannot be supported can undo or distract from a lot of factual writing.May 08 23:49
schestowitzPesky SLAPP letters can also be discouraged in a number of ways. One of several ways is to make copies all over the place, overwhelming them with "targets".May 08 23:49
schestowitzDon't try to defend yourself/ves in social control media; you would waste your time as it's designed to make corporate-leaning mobs always win. Not just because of CoC but also the scale.May 08 23:49
schestowitzIf you post something that cannot be supported, it'll harm you and us too, as we are perceived as 'connected'.May 08 23:49
