It does need to be reported at some level... [11:31] schestowitz__ [reply] [11:31] schestowitz__ Let me have a think about this. [11:31] schestowitz__ I'm hopeful that VIA / Dolby have moved on with their shakedowns, but recognise that this behaviour isn't acceptable.

[18:12] Techrights-sec The image do-not-enter-1557761.jpg is unnecessarily large [18:12] Techrights-sec It should have been trimmed down by two orders of magnitude before upload [18:12] Techrights-sec WordPress does not trim the images and the large file size is slowing things [18:12] Techrights-sec down in addition to wasting bandwidth. [18:12] schestowitz I see IBM employees commenting now. ad him, obviously... [18:13] Techrights-sec ad hominem is all htey have as a response, that confirms the content [18:16] Techrights-sec https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/17/ibm_exec_payouts/ [18:16] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.theregister.com | IBM's CEO and outgoing exec chairman take home $38m in total for 2020 despite revenue shrinking by billions The Register [18:17] schestowitz mozilla would call that "discount" ^_^ [18:18] Techrights-sec mozilla: https://lbry.tv/@BrodieRobertson:5/mozilla-firefox's-slow-and-painful-death:9 [18:18] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-lbry.tv | Mozilla & Firefox's Slow And Painful Death [18:19] Techrights-sec In: [18:19] Techrights-sec http://techrights.org/2021/03/21/discrediting-sites/ [18:19] Techrights-sec slashdot ought to have been mentioned even right before its first buyout /sellout [18:19] Techrights-sec it got infiltrate [18:19] Techrights-sec d [18:20] schestowitz yes, I could mention other sites. I lost a very long video due to microphone shortcut on keyboard. Lessons learned, new protocol: turn off sound, test mic, check aspect ratio is correct (I f'ed it up SEVERaL times today!) [18:21] schestowitz The lost video mentioned other sites and gave examples [18:25] schestowitz they seem to have just spiked it though it was like a most popular story [18:26] schestowitz "[flagged] " [18:26] schestowitz Hahahahahaha. [18:26] schestowitz Just proves my point [18:38] Techrights-sec It's now gone from the pages there at HN [18:38] Techrights-sec Though those with the link to the discussion can still load the discussion. [18:39] schestowitz wotth doing a quick video about this? it keeps happening and i've come to expect this... [18:41] Techrights-sec probably, reddit, hn, slashdot are all M$ sites. The first two always have [18:41] Techrights-sec been, the last one only in "recent" years. [18:41] Techrights-sec Slashdot started out reflecting the Internet and IT community and was thus [18:41] Techrights-sec fully about FOSS [18:51] schestowitz will try to focus on EPO instead the next couple of days. It's frustrating to be 'gas-lit' by those massive corporations with their shills/workers in comments [18:53] Techrights-sec Yes, the attention can bring people's awareness to EPO and sw patents ● Mar 21 [19:01] Techrights-sec About the RPF question earlier, I still cannot recall what I noticed, but [19:01] Techrights-sec in the course of trying I notice that they seem to push ZigBee and not [19:01] Techrights-sec even mention 6LowPan. [19:01] schestowitz If we have solid links and stuff, maybe worth doing an article about... [19:02] Techrights-sec The first step would be tracking down the licensing information about [19:02] Techrights-sec both Zigbee and 6LowPAn and, where relevant, the software patents. [19:22] schestowitz Now that I am on top of some feeds I will do a quick mention about what happened, no video needed (I also don't want to link to ad hom) ● Mar 21 [21:27] *GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techbytes [21:28] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Remote host closed the connection) ● Mar 21 [22:00] *GNUmoon has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
