| DaemonFC[m] | Good. Less churnalism quoting Trump's tweets. | Jan 09 00:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Google removed the Parler app from the Play STore. | Jan 09 00:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If there's no Parler on iPhone, it means Trump can't install it. | Jan 09 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He uses an iPhone. | Jan 09 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple says Parler will be banned in 24 hours. | Jan 09 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unless it "cleans up the platform" by then, somehow. | Jan 09 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which means that Apple has done to Parler what it did to porn on Tumblr, which caused everyone to pile out of Tumblr and go to Reddit looking for porn. | Jan 09 01:02 |

| schestowitz | from a nurse | Jan 09 01:34 |
| schestowitz | [21:57] <DaemonFC[m]> The fact that almost 100 people were infected in the White House Coronavirus outbreak and Pence wasn't one of them shows us how out of the loop he is. | Jan 09 01:38 |

| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: there's a saying | Jan 09 02:08 |
| schestowitz | which I cannot quite lucidly recall | Jan 09 02:08 |
| schestowitz | something about judging people based on difficult actions/decisions | Jan 09 02:08 |
| schestowitz | what conde nast (reddit), discord, twitter, fb do it no heroism | Jan 09 02:08 |
| schestowitz | it's distorting their record | Jan 09 02:08 |
| schestowitz | after facilitating visceral hatred for half a decade | Jan 09 02:09 |
| schestowitz | so I would not judge them based on the late actions | Jan 09 02:09 |
| schestowitz | it's almost a reminder of how lousy they were | Jan 09 02:09 |

| cybrNaut | no politician should be using Twitter in the 1st place. It's not right for /public/ officials to use exclusive private walled-gardens to interact with the /public/. | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | true | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | we've said that for ages | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | They outsource communication to a third party | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | a private company with foreign shareholders | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | and quarterly targets | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | Also, it discriminates in access | Jan 09 03:04 |
| schestowitz | there were lawsuits over this | Jan 09 03:05 |
| schestowitz | Trump blocked me in Twitter in 2017 | Jan 09 03:05 |

| cybrNaut | If I want to tweet to my representative, I have to give twitter a phone number, and twitter can refuse service for any reason. Fuck that. The whitehouse should run its own Mastodon node | Jan 09 03:05 |
| schestowitz | mastodon is frustrating also | Jan 09 03:06 |
| schestowitz | social control media is a regression | Jan 09 03:06 |
| cybrNaut | indeed some ppl got blocked by trump, and they sued, and iirc trump was forced to unban them | Jan 09 03:06 |
| schestowitz | I already lost two mastodon/fediverse account | Jan 09 03:06 |
| schestowitz | the last two due to site shutdowns | Jan 09 03:06 |
| cybrNaut | well you always have the option of running your own instance | Jan 09 03:07 |
| cybrNaut | i lost a few gnu social accts due to spontaneous shutdowns without notice.. that shit is quite annoying | Jan 09 03:10 |
| schestowitz | so the whole concept is shite | Jan 09 03:10 |
| cybrNaut | they need to build in redundancy | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | how many times before you sto bothering? | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | when I joined pleroma.site I was reassured it would be online for at least 5 years | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | it lasted only 2 | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | and again I lost all so-called 'followers' | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | I'm not planning to start again | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | a fourth time | Jan 09 03:11 |
| schestowitz | I created my own 'instance' | Jan 09 03:12 |
| cybrNaut | followers should be portable for sure, b/c you get trapped by them | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | it does nor federate | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | but it won't go down as long as I am alive | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | cybrNaut: they're not | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | and there's no solution or plan for one | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | and sometimes you don't even know when a site will shut down | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | so no time to expore | Jan 09 03:12 |
| schestowitz | export | Jan 09 03:13 |
| schestowitz | pleroma.site died due to hardware issues | Jan 09 03:13 |
| schestowitz | and poorly done backups it seems | Jan 09 03:13 |
| schestowitz | 3 times in a row not its admin is not even responding to my question | Jan 09 03:13 |
| schestowitz | prior to that more than thrice in a row he enthusiastically said it was coming back | Jan 09 03:13 |
| schestowitz | So I assume he gave uo | Jan 09 03:13 |
| schestowitz | *up | Jan 09 03:14 |
| schestowitz | I asked him if he can pass on the site to someone else | Jan 09 03:14 |
| schestowitz | no reply, 2 days | Jan 09 03:14 |
| cybrNaut | backups could be solved on the client side, but then they'd have to be reposted elsewhere all on the same date, and linkage would probably break. Indeed it needs to evolve more | Jan 09 03:14 |
| schestowitz | I thought about it a lot | Jan 09 03:15 |
| schestowitz | also in relation to identi.ca a decade back | Jan 09 03:16 |
| schestowitz | if you care about publication and preservation | Jan 09 03:16 |
| schestowitz | then focus on your own blog and site | Jan 09 03:16 |
| schestowitz | use RSS | Jan 09 03:16 |
| schestowitz | and build a network of sites connected to each other | Jan 09 03:16 |
| schestowitz | not all this "friend" thing | Jan 09 03:16 |
| schestowitz | RSS readers, instead | Jan 09 03:16 |
| cybrNaut | we also need a parody venue, so I can write a msg to a walled-off politician without setting foot in the walled-garden. They wouldn't necessarily see the msg unless they know to look, but i'd accept that as an incremental evolution | Jan 09 03:20 |
| cybrNaut | sometimes I want to talk to a politician and they're just the prop, with the public being the actual target audience | Jan 09 03:24 |
| schestowitz | Ariadne: can you talk href into passing on the domain pleroma.site if he's no longer intending to fix it? | Jan 09 03:25 |
| schestowitz | he stopped replying to me | Jan 09 03:26 |
| schestowitz | so I assume he gave up on the restore process a week or so ago | Jan 09 03:26 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "the last two due to site shutdow"> GNU Social was one. | Jan 09 03:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Did they get to Giuliani? Or was he too busy grinding on 15 year olds as he leaked hair dye to post anything outrageous lately? | Jan 09 03:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | (Borat 2) | Jan 09 03:40 |
| schestowitz | ? | Jan 09 03:41 |
| schestowitz | what's the connection? | Jan 09 03:41 |
| schestowitz | I was alluding to the fact that over the years many sites where I posted and received content vanished | Jan 09 03:42 |
| schestowitz | the first, I believe, was digg.com | Jan 09 03:42 |
| cybrNaut | if Twitter bans me as an activist that gives civil warnings to people about CloudFlare (and they did), then I'm happy to see mass Twitter bannings because it helps expose to others that they don't respect civil speech. Although nothing q-anon says would be civil so i guess those blocks won't drive too many ppl off | Jan 09 03:42 |
| schestowitz | where I had posted and received a lot of comments | Jan 09 03:42 |
| schestowitz | USENET is NOT like that | Jan 09 03:42 |
| schestowitz | my USENET posts and replies are still online | Jan 09 03:42 |

| schestowitz | [03:40] <Techrights-sec> to gain acceptance for mass censorship. | Jan 09 03:43 |
| schestowitz | [03:40] <Techrights-sec> Everyone is cheering the bans so enthusiastically that almost no one | Jan 09 03:43 |
| schestowitz | [03:40] <Techrights-sec> is actually checking to ensure that it is in line with the constitution. | Jan 09 03:43 |
| schestowitz | [03:40] <Techrights-sec> It is more than what Bush II called it, a "goddamned piece of paper" | Jan 09 03:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Twitter is self-destructing and it shut Donald Trump up. | Jan 09 03:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Where's the downside? | Jan 09 03:43 |
| cybrNaut | indeed | Jan 09 03:43 |
| Techrights-sec | https://www.counterpunch.org/2005/12/14/quot-just-a-goddamned-piece-of-paper-quot/ | Jan 09 03:45 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-"Just a Goddamned Piece of Paper" - CounterPunch.org | Jan 09 03:45 | |
| cybrNaut | by driving high-profile ppl off Twitter, it potentially gives exposure to Twitter's superior competition if they move to it, and that's a good thing | Jan 09 03:46 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: you miss the point | Jan 09 03:46 |
| schestowitz | they also delete POTUS tweets | Jan 09 03:46 |
| schestowitz | it's perhaps useful for shareholders | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | but... | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | it'll raise many questions for years to come | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | including: | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | why now? | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | why not ages ago? | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | he violated policies ages ago | Jan 09 03:47 |
| schestowitz | but he was still useful to their business model | Jan 09 03:47 |
| cybrNaut | i could create a new twitter acct and use it, but that would make me an enabler for a control freakish centralized service. So I stay away from twtr now. | Jan 09 03:50 |
| schestowitz | my twitter story in a nutshell | Jan 09 03:56 |
| schestowitz | tmanco (tony) asked me to join identi.ca | Jan 09 03:56 |
| schestowitz | here in IRC | Jan 09 03:56 |
| schestowitz | reluctantly I eventually did | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | it slowed down my posting flow in techrights | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | later I realised that with ping.fm (IIRC) I could cross-post to Twitter | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | so a Twitter account was made too | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | also very reluctantly | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | later joindiaspora | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | when twitter started shadowbanning me | Jan 09 03:57 |
| schestowitz | like 50 times | Jan 09 03:58 |
| schestowitz | I then protested by creating also a gab account, before it was a beehive of lunatics | Jan 09 03:58 |
| schestowitz | but twitter is just there getting copies of things | Jan 09 03:58 |
| schestowitz | it's no longer attracting traffic like it did half a decade ago, they're just ad-pushing and agenda-steering now, for profit | Jan 09 03:59 |
| schestowitz | it's their new business model | Jan 09 03:59 |
| schestowitz | a lot of people quit over it | Jan 09 03:59 |
| schestowitz | 25 days ago they also started blocking sites that don't do JS or that Twitter does not "like" | Jan 09 03:59 |
| schestowitz | that was a final nail on their coffin | Jan 09 03:59 |
| schestowitz | now, without trump, they have just pop stars and crap | Jan 09 04:00 |
| schestowitz | hopefully people will see all those sites for what they really are | Jan 09 04:00 |
| schestowitz | and... STOP PARTICIPATING | Jan 09 04:00 |
| schestowitz | If pleroma.site is not coming back, and it does not seem like it will anymore (he cannot recover it from backups), I won't bother with fediverse at all anymore | Jan 09 04:00 |
| schestowitz | and that's a shame as Ariadne crafted a very nice bot, viera, to syndicate from there in IRC | Jan 09 04:01 |
| cybrNaut | it's a bit of a shame the right-wing nut jobs are pushed onto Mastodon, and the pop stars who bring a huge audience of normies are still on Twitter | Jan 09 04:01 |
| cybrNaut | wish it were the other way around | Jan 09 04:01 |
| schestowitz | it just shows | Jan 09 04:02 |
| schestowitz | that this does not solve the issue | Jan 09 04:02 |
| schestowitz | go back to blogging | Jan 09 04:02 |

| schestowitz__ | but he seems to have given up | Jan 09 05:31 |
| schestowitz__ | after some failed attempts at restoring | Jan 09 05:31 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe I can tweak Ariadne's bot, maybe i'll come up with something else | Jan 09 05:32 |
| schestowitz__ | but I am 99% sure pleroma.site won't be coming back online, which is a shame (3rd time I lose a fediverse account in less than 5 years) | Jan 09 05:32 |
| schestowitz__ | (which means starting again from 0 followers, 0 posts etc.) | Jan 09 05:33 |

| DaemonFC[m] | What's wrong with mastodon.social | Jan 09 05:44 |
| schestowitz__ | ask me again what that TOO shuts down | Jan 09 05:45 |
| schestowitz__ | There's no business model to these things | Jan 09 05:46 |
| schestowitz__ | you rely on the mercy of people who don't give a damn about you | Jan 09 05:46 |
| schestowitz__ | in the past few months I saw quite a few mastodon instances shut down | Jan 09 05:46 |
| schestowitz__ | with short notice, not even a reason given | Jan 09 05:46 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe money and time (maintenance) | Jan 09 05:46 |

| vZS1 | All this federated nonsense will never last | Jan 09 08:53 |
| vZS1 | The answer is P2P, if you want persistence. | Jan 09 08:53 |
| vZS1 | And keeping things small | Jan 09 08:53 |
| vZS1 | P2P means people who care will help you share the burden of keeping things online. | Jan 09 08:55 |
| vZS1 | And it's built to work with arbitrary data | Jan 09 08:55 |
| vZS1 | Social media is optimised for advertising not sharing information | Jan 09 08:56 |
| schestowitz__ | Blogs are a lot simpler and mroe efficient | Jan 09 08:57 |
| schestowitz__ | person X registers domain Y | Jan 09 08:57 |
| schestowitz__ | Y is hosted by Z | Jan 09 08:57 |
| schestowitz__ | can change host to Z1, Z2.... | Jan 09 08:57 |
| schestowitz__ | People then join each other by RSS feeds | Jan 09 08:57 |
| schestowitz__ | so Z links to Y, which links to X | Jan 09 08:57 |
| vZS1 | Yep | Jan 09 08:57 |
| schestowitz__ | and XYZ can change | Jan 09 08:58 |
| schestowitz__ | but as long as your RSS lists are the same, you stay connected | Jan 09 08:58 |
| schestowitz__ | social control media puts HUGE burden on the edges | Jan 09 08:58 |
| schestowitz__ | if each person has his/her own instance | Jan 09 08:58 |
| schestowitz__ | it won't scale | Jan 09 08:58 |
| schestowitz__ | space, RAM, CPU | Jan 09 08:58 |
| schestowitz__ | as you need to syndicate so much, so it then becomes a bandwidth hog as well | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | so let's go back to RSS | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | I never wanted to leave RSS in the first place | Jan 09 08:59 |
| vZS1 | We never left RSS | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | but a decade ago there was corporate media hype pushing us awasy from it | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | with help from Google, then Mozilla | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | which decided that RSS is somehow a fad all of a suddent | Jan 09 08:59 |
| vZS1 | Don't forget Facebook and Twitter | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | and it stopped promoting and teaching users about RSS | Jan 09 08:59 |
| schestowitz__ | then Mozilla hired many FB exectutives | Jan 09 09:00 |
| schestowitz__ | and asked us to use FB... with "containers" | Jan 09 09:00 |
| schestowitz__ | using FB...., "safely"... a paradox | Jan 09 09:00 |
| vZS1 | They're bleeding users. It's the third world, bots, and Ad revenue keeping them alive. | Jan 09 09:02 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, same for shithub | Jan 09 09:03 |
| schestowitz__ | I've long argued that | Jan 09 09:03 |
| schestowitz__ | no incentive for them to cut off the fakes | Jan 09 09:03 |
| schestowitz__ | as it would scare shareholders | Jan 09 09:03 |
| schestowitz__ | people with multiple accounts help them game the "charts", too | Jan 09 09:03 |
| schestowitz__ | many joijn shithub for the fake idea that they have big share or scale | Jan 09 09:03 |
| schestowitz__ | much of that is faked | Jan 09 09:03 |
| vZS1 | Twitter is in the deepest shit because they didn't diversify | Jan 09 09:04 |
| schestowitz__ | Like Ashley Madison | Jan 09 09:04 |
| schestowitz__ | with its fake "women" | Jan 09 09:04 |
| schestowitz__ | and bots | Jan 09 09:04 |
| vZS1 | At least the other big ones invested in other businesses | Jan 09 09:04 |
| vZS1 | Twitter is a toxic share in the stock market rn | Jan 09 09:05 |

| vZS1 | The one that really concerns me is Cloudflare | Jan 09 09:10 |

| vZS1 | They've not exactly had a spotless record so far | Jan 09 09:13 |
| vZS1 | Their stock is also attracting a hefty amount of investors | Jan 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz__ | they will get bought by something | Jan 09 09:15 |
| schestowitz__ | looking to leverage CF for something | Jan 09 09:15 |
| vZS1 | Netflix would gain a lot from acquiring CF. | Jan 09 09:16 |

| schestowitz__ | their manager, Jan, who was supposed to phone me yesterday, did not phone | Jan 09 09:53 |
| schestowitz__ | not surprising given her temperament | Jan 09 09:53 |
| schestowitz__ | and phone for an advisor to complain about the lack of phoneball means staying on line 20-30 minutes | Jan 09 09:53 |
| schestowitz__ | So I phoned this morning, redirected to Dublin (yes, Dublin) and after spending loads of time on the line it got disconnected or he accidentally hung up | Jan 09 09:54 |
| schestowitz__ | wait 5 minutes, he did not even call back | Jan 09 09:54 |
| schestowitz__ | So I call again, this get a different person (this time in Liverpool) | Jan 09 09:54 |
| schestowitz__ | and I managed to get him to tell a manager to phone me back | Jan 09 09:54 |

| schestowitz__ | One option is, he gives up | Jan 09 10:26 |
| schestowitz__ | and then passes the domain to someone else | Jan 09 10:26 |
| schestowitz__ | in which code no code changes are needed | Jan 09 10:26 |

| schestowitz__ | I am still uploading an Intel video | Jan 09 11:44 |
| schestowitz__ | it'll take another 3 hours | Jan 09 11:44 |

| schestowitz__ | this is now workable and we cannot make calls except on the landline | Jan 09 11:45 |
| schestowitz__ | this is what one pays 40 quid a month for | Jan 09 11:45 |
| schestowitz__ | google youtube also downsamples the videos (blurred) and it still occassionally buffering | Jan 09 11:46 |
| schestowitz__ | so it's a downstream issue too | Jan 09 11:46 |
| schestowitz__ | had we been in a rural area, fine, but we're a mile away from Manc Town Hall | Jan 09 11:46 |
| schestowitz__ | 'BT has succumbed to lying and cheating, for it apparently refuses to publicly acknowledge that its network cannot meet the basic capacities required (as per laws and regulations)" | Jan 09 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | I have a feeling the managers may have flagged me by now | Jan 09 11:48 |

| vZS1 | Back to the Financial Times post for a sec | Jan 09 12:10 |
| vZS1 | Many people in the comments defended Assange. Most did | Jan 09 12:11 |
| vZS1 | Several people pointed out entire lists of things the FT piece left out | Jan 09 12:12 |
| vZS1 | There were a lot along the lines of "war crimes you can get away with but not free journalism" | Jan 09 12:12 |
| vZS1 | A few pointed out that the Swedish charges magically disappeared after the US extradition request | Jan 09 12:13 |
| vZS1 | I think they misjudged how their readership would react to the piece | Jan 09 12:14 |
| vZS1 | Tremendously backfired on them, it seems. | Jan 09 12:14 |
| vZS1 | One person even mentioned (this was one item in their list) how Wikileaks found out that "smart" TVs by the big names like LG and Sony were planning to use the built-in microphones to record and transmit without the customer knowing. So the manufacturers are basically in with the spying agencies to expand the surveillance machine | Jan 09 12:17 |
| vZS1 | The one I was most satisfied to see is when several readers pointed out that the media is involved in character assassination of Assange instead of covering what's actually in Wikileaks | Jan 09 12:19 |

| schestowitz | this is the correct one, typos likelty | Jan 09 12:21 |
| schestowitz | I am exhausted by this | Jan 09 12:21 |
| schestowitz | taking a break from pursuing it for now | Jan 09 12:21 |
| schestowitz | vZS1: re Assange, yes, but many fell for the smearing | Jan 09 12:23 |
| schestowitz | as you can see in yesterday's IRC logs | Jan 09 12:23 |
| schestowitz | some even become willing participants in the smearing | Jan 09 12:23 |
| vZS1 | I have an ignore list for a reason | Jan 09 12:24 |
| schestowitz | bonus: the latter types sometimes work for companies that commit or profit from the war crimes | Jan 09 12:24 |
| schestowitz | and they call themselves "social justice warriors" | Jan 09 12:24 |
| vZS1 | I'd like to focus on the positives | Jan 09 12:24 |
| schestowitz | experience suggest that those who called >themselves< that mostly attempt to distract from real issues like millions of bombed Arabs to some BS 'causes' of so-called 'snowflakes' | Jan 09 12:24 |
| schestowitz | bcause they'd rather talk of corporate "Responsibility" or "Diversity" or whatnot as if those are the worst's most uregnt issue | Jan 09 12:25 |
| schestowitz | and don't forget the "Racist" statues | Jan 09 12:25 |
| schestowitz | very, very urgent... more than stopping the bombs | Jan 09 12:25 |
| vZS1 | Many FT readers also pointed out how the judge used medical grounds to chicken out of supporting Assange. The judge agreed with the extradition request's arguments | Jan 09 12:25 |
| schestowitz | yeah, that too | Jan 09 12:26 |
| schestowitz | but it could be worse | Jan 09 12:26 |
| vZS1 | I'm sorting out some paperwork atm | Jan 09 12:26 |
| vZS1 | But I should be done soon | Jan 09 12:26 |
| schestowitz | there were worse potential outcomes | Jan 09 12:26 |
| schestowitz | I think Assange's legal team chose this strategy and a fallback and only this fallback worked | Jan 09 12:26 |
| vZS1 | I'll send you screenshots of the FT post and comments | Jan 09 12:26 |
| schestowitz | cheers | Jan 09 12:26 |
| schestowitz | maybe another video to do? TBH, it would be too repetitive to be worth it | Jan 09 12:27 |
| schestowitz | news is slow today though, I wasted 3 hours on the phone | Jan 09 12:27 |
| vZS1 | I'll also do that IPNS how-to for TR today. | Jan 09 12:27 |
| schestowitz | I asked Techrights-sec if we should do something about the censorship campaigns | Jan 09 12:28 |
| schestowitz | the whole mozilla, trump etc. | Jan 09 12:28 |
| schestowitz | but it's too politically-charged and tribalism would spoil the substance of the debate/constitution | Jan 09 12:28 |
| vZS1 | Worth covering. Freedom of speech means the same for us as for Cheeto Hitler | Jan 09 12:28 |
| vZS1 | You don't need to take sides when writing about censorship. | Jan 09 12:32 |
| schestowitz | " Cheeto Hitler" became a thing | Jan 09 12:33 |

| schestowitz | lol | Jan 09 12:34 |
| schestowitz | that person reads our IRC logs | Jan 09 12:35 |
| vZS1 | Mobs on social media will usher in acceptance of heavy censorship. This is very true | Jan 09 12:35 |
| vZS1 | People are celebrating the social media bans when they should be abhorred by them | Jan 09 12:36 |
| schestowitz | there are other optiobs | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | I think social control media is toxic by design | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | I once watched a video that put it nicely | Jan 09 12:37 |
| vZS1 | Until it becomes acceptable and becomes legislation | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | the problem is what unlike a forum such as this (IRC., newsgroups), | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | you put together in one platform many opposed groups | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | that would not otherwise blend in | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | like a party of the KKK in the same room with BLM | Jan 09 12:37 |
| schestowitz | that increases hostilities and at the same time creates factions | Jan 09 12:38 |
| schestowitz | in the same platforms | Jan 09 12:38 |
| schestowitz | contrariwise | Jan 09 12:38 |
| vZS1 | Don't forget they profit off every type of interaction | Jan 09 12:38 |
| schestowitz | in street protests | Jan 09 12:38 |
| vZS1 | Their goal is to maximise interaction | Jan 09 12:38 |
| schestowitz | you have police on horses or with shields to separate the factios | Jan 09 12:38 |
| schestowitz | that's lacking in social control media | Jan 09 12:38 |
| schestowitz | not "interaction" :) | Jan 09 12:39 |
| schestowitz | they call it "ENGAGEMENT" | Jan 09 12:39 |
| schestowitz | like, customer engagement | Jan 09 12:39 |
| schestowitz | this week I learned several times BT does not have 'cancellations" | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | or "customer support" | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | or "customer retention" | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | they call it "loyalty" | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | a positive-sounding BS | Jan 09 12:40 |
| vZS1 | Indeed. Many people pay more attention to social control media than their own spouse. | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | so pissed off customers ------------> LOYaLTY | Jan 09 12:40 |
| vZS1 | So they are practically engaged to their accounts | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | "Mark was so pissed off that he phoned up LOYALTY" | Jan 09 12:40 |
| schestowitz | I'm not done with BT | Jan 09 12:41 |
| schestowitz | but for my composure I take a break from it | Jan 09 12:41 |
| schestowitz | I don't want to do article/video about the Trump ban | Jan 09 12:41 |
| schestowitz | it's way too politically-loaded and binary | Jan 09 12:41 |
| schestowitz | I need a little break tbh | Jan 09 12:41 |
| schestowitz | to think what matters most to free software | Jan 09 12:42 |
| vZS1 | Take a break then | Jan 09 12:42 |
| schestowitz | I was going to do some coding on viera, it's that bot you saw here syndicating linux news | Jan 09 12:42 |
| schestowitz | it's written in python | Jan 09 12:42 |
| vZS1 | Yeah. Tinker with that relax a bit | Jan 09 12:42 |
| schestowitz | pleroma.site looks like a goner, which is a shame because Ariadne spent ages building it from the ground up and then babysitting it for a long time while taking endless abuse from literally neonazis | Jan 09 12:43 |
| schestowitz | if I cannot cope with that code, I'll write my own | Jan 09 12:43 |
| schestowitz | Ariadne is a reallt awesome dev, really clean code | Jan 09 12:44 |
| schestowitz | elegant, but python isn't my choice of lang and it has lots of APIs I don't know like the fediverse ones | Jan 09 12:44 |
| schestowitz | over the past 12 years we had at least 4 bots to syndicate members' statusnet and twitter accounts | Jan 09 12:45 |
| schestowitz | the APIs keep changing, breaking, sites go offline | Jan 09 12:45 |

| schestowitz | one option is, as soon as logs for IRC get generated the URL shows up here | Jan 09 14:50 |
| schestowitz | another is, ipfs will spew out new CIDs as soon as they're added (for people to pin) | Jan 09 14:51 |

| schestowitz | some suggested making that foldable | Jan 09 20:28 |
| vZS1 | I mean more for navigation | Jan 09 20:28 |
| schestowitz | but suggested javascript | Jan 09 20:28 |
| schestowitz | which would be a step back | Jan 09 20:28 |
| schestowitz | like latest posts listed at the top? | Jan 09 20:29 |
| schestowitz | (of blog)? | Jan 09 20:29 |
| vZS1 | Im suggesting more a change in the site layout. Split TR posts into a linear history. Relegate the external links to another page | Jan 09 20:30 |
| vZS1 | The main site is still hard to navigate | Jan 09 20:30 |
| vZS1 | When you click on a link in the new root page, it still goes back to the old site | Jan 09 20:31 |

| schestowitz | wordpress does not work like this thoygh | Jan 09 20:33 |
| schestowitz | *though | Jan 09 20:33 |
| schestowitz | unless we exclude some category from front page | Jan 09 20:33 |
| schestowitz | though it can affect RSS feeds as well | Jan 09 20:33 |
| schestowitz | vZS1: need mockup to better understand | Jan 09 20:34 |
| vZS1 | There's no page you can visit to see the TR stories | Jan 09 20:34 |
| vZS1 | And only the TR stories | Jan 09 20:35 |
| schestowitz | there are 30,000 blog posts | Jan 09 20:35 |
| schestowitz | the wiki can be better for some stuff | Jan 09 20:35 |
| schestowitz | That's how EPO workers read the site | Jan 09 20:35 |
| schestowitz | and their wiki landing page is listed in the front (root) page | Jan 09 20:35 |
| vZS1 | Yes but the TR posts aren't | Jan 09 20:36 |
| vZS1 | Wiki has a dedicated page | Jan 09 20:36 |
| vZS1 | TR articles don't | Jan 09 20:36 |
| vZS1 | It would be worth making a dedicated page which lists TR articles. | Jan 09 20:36 |
| schestowitz | so you want a listing that excludes a particular category | Jan 09 20:37 |
| schestowitz | as if it's a bad one | Jan 09 20:37 |
| schestowitz | and I don't think it is | Jan 09 20:37 |
| schestowitz | some use the site for nothing BUT those link | Jan 09 20:37 |
| schestowitz | *links | Jan 09 20:37 |
| schestowitz | because no other site collates and curates them like this | Jan 09 20:37 |
| schestowitz | with hierarchy and speed | Jan 09 20:37 |
| vZS1 | Yes so it can have its own page | Jan 09 20:37 |
| vZS1 | People find the site hard to navigate | Jan 09 20:37 |
| vZS1 | Streamlining would help readers quickly find what they want | Jan 09 20:39 |

| schestowitz | it's still doable | Jan 09 20:40 |
| schestowitz | and... if you want. | Jan 09 20:40 |
| schestowitz | the current front page can split the two | Jan 09 20:40 |
| schestowitz | then show one timeline or list for each | Jan 09 20:40 |
| schestowitz | though it would just add more items to that page and clutter is further, I think | Jan 09 20:41 |
| vZS1 | It's not the front page that needs changing | Jan 09 20:41 |
| vZS1 | That's just a summary | Jan 09 20:41 |
| vZS1 | It's the layout of the rest of the site | Jan 09 20:41 |
| schestowitz | the bulletins already splits the two | Jan 09 20:41 |
| schestowitz | and links are always at the bottom | Jan 09 20:41 |

| schestowitz | vZS1: in the long run, yeah... | Jan 09 20:49 |
| schestowitz | [20:49] <href> Cool. I hope to find backuping people and a sort of "council" who owns the domain and backup encryption key. | Jan 09 20:50 |
| schestowitz | [20:50] <schestowitz> :-) | Jan 09 20:50 |
| vZS1 | It's also convenient for us. Because sharing the load is built into P2P networks | Jan 09 20:50 |
