| Techrights-sec | the IRC logs have beeb quite short of late | Dec 12 02:59 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | One factor is pleroma.site being offline, though it should return online. Number of people in IRC grew. | Dec 12 02:59 |
| Techrights-sec | Is there an ETA for the repair of Pleroma? | Dec 12 03:00 |
| schestowitz | No, but I keep asking about that, I'm not from the only user | Dec 12 03:01 |

| Techrights-sec | By the way, what about DT? He was off to a good start with the first few episozed but is appear | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | ing like he's manipulated or o=therwise falling for the M$ trap. | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | A lot of people wish to appear reasonable and fear that calling M$ out for | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | being as it is will make them look unreasonable. | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Once a friend and I discuessed M$ court cases with a third friend and the third one | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | kept refusing to believe the events, we had to keep pointing out that | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | these were already settled in a court of law and not conjecture or hypothetical | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | threats. | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | He may also be projecting his own civility onto M$ even if it is an inappropriate | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | projection and M$ shares none of his values. | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | of civility or lawfulness. | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | or ethics | Dec 12 03:08 |
| schestowitz | I have asked for clarifications (DT's remarks and context). Meanwhile, he's another risk and liability like Lunduke, can defect at any time for lousy reason. | Dec 12 03:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, I had taht concern from the beginning, but have been hoping for the best. | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | As for the most recent episode, hed did well enough previously that I'll write that one off as a | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | flub. However, just that one. | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | With Lunduke, he had been working for M$ and there was always the risk of recidivism. | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | That risk became realized. | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure of the point of any of Lunduke's material any more, so I don't often check on him a | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | nd haven't watched a video of his since spring or earlier. | Dec 12 03:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Remember M$ has whole marketing teams with deep pockets and a mandate to never lose even an inch | Dec 12 03:18 |
