schestowitz

or.. based on twitter... it ALREADY was in front page

schestowitz

then the editors buried it within minutes

schestowitz

incredible case of aggressive moderation

schestowitz

who benefits?

schestowitz

"26 points by wrycoder 27 minutes ago "

schestowitz

one a minute

schestowitz

it does not even show up in https://news.ycombinator.com/newest

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-news.ycombinator.com | New Links | Hacker News

schestowitz

at all

schestowitz

like they made it vanish

Chaekyung

schestowitz: it was originally in VP8. It will eventually be available in VP9. I don't automatically re-encode to x264 so I made that one x264 for the applel users since it would be popular, a VP9 encode comes.. eventually.

schestowitz

ok, better than nothing

schestowitz

eventually the FSF will publish in their libre fornat regardless

Chaekyung

schestowitz: though I don't know when, since I uploaded a ton of videos today so it will take a while before it even gets to that one

schestowitz

Chaekyung: do you get traffic on that?

schestowitz

I think TR will send some your way

Ariadne: in spite of him, not because of (or due to) him

Mar 22 06:54

schestowitz

there are similar forces ruining OSI and LF

schestowitz

LF goals changed a lot, it is now promoting monopolies

schestowitz

OSI too, to a degree...

Ariadne

i agree that RMS presence has little to do with whether or not FSF succeds

schestowitz

I think justice has something to do with that

Ariadne

FSF was floundering when RMS was in charge, FSF continued to flounder after his departure

schestowitz

As Oliva put it

schestowitz

so RMS was not the issue

Ariadne

FSF will continue to flounder with his return

schestowitz

the issue is society and tech

schestowitz

schestowitz

we're losing control to bad things that happen

schestowitz

no org or person can slow that down for very long

schestowitz

Ariadne: that is framing the issue the wrong way, I think

schestowitz

and that makes it seem like defeatism

Ariadne

it is not

schestowitz

anything we can do to slow things down, good

Ariadne

i am just saying that we have lived and continue to live in a post-FSF software freedom world

schestowitz

also, we need to give some people the option/prospect of computing freedom

Ariadne

yes, but i think things like techrights are more effective

schestowitz

FSf was never very mainstream

schestowitz

I didn't even heard about them in the 90s

Ariadne

which is why i gave techrights infrastructure

schestowitz

we focus on patents

schestowitz

and on corruption

schestowitz

the fsf rarely does

Ariadne

yes, and those are actual threats to software freedom

schestowitz

FSF is about GNU and code and advocacy

schestowitz

licences also

schestowitz

but techrights and FSF work well together

Ariadne

GNU software makes up approximately 6% of a typical GNU/Linux distribution now

schestowitz

and a strong FSF is good for us

schestowitz

Ariadne: but down the chain

schestowitz

hence many things used

Ariadne

i'm not convinced that RMS coming back will actually reinvigorate FSF

schestowitz

linux for syscalls

schestowitz

so in terms of LOCs, maybe not much

schestowitz

but you would not invoke libreoffice code much

Ariadne

morale has been low at FSF for the past decade

schestowitz

unlike, say, syscall with "ls"

Ariadne

we will see

schestowitz

FSF is facing tough times

schestowitz

for many reasons SJVN too recently explained

Ariadne

obviously, i would prefer to see a strong FSF than otherwise

schestowitz

ryf hardware cert is one good effort from them

Ariadne

but wishing doesn't make it true

schestowitz

licensing being maintained... well, gplv3 is 2007

schestowitz

we advocated federation of advocacy

schestowitz

FSF is important because of GNU, licence, advocacy...

schestowitz

each org needs to evolve

schestowitz

e.g. laptops becoming tablets, phones...

schestowitz

RMS and FSF were slower to evolve to the threat

Mar 22 07:02

schestowitz

and we have long criticised that

Mar 22 07:02

schestowitz

with systemd they're not refusing to even name the problem with freesw so complex almost nobody can keep up and maintain it

Mar 22 07:02

schestowitz

later today we will publish about corruption... some internal docs from WBers

*scientes_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)

Mar 22 07:03

schestowitz

FSF now speaks about risks associated with chrome and mobile systems... or ones where the software people run is tightly controlled by "stores"

Mar 22 07:04

schestowitz

they also started talking about gemini

Mar 22 07:04

schestowitz

or... the threat of webapps or software as a disservice with javascript and rented space/access

schestowitz

no such thing was happening while RMS was absent

""Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones."

schestowitz

schestowitz

The increasing sophistication of surveillance techniques has drawn comparisons with George Orwell's 1984, but "Weeping Angel", developed by the CIA's Embedded Devices Branch (EDB), which infests smart TVs, transforming them into covert microphones, is surely its most emblematic realization.

schestowitz

The attack against Samsung smart TVs was developed in cooperation with the United Kingdom's MI5/BTSS. After infestation, Weeping Angel places the target TV in a 'Fake-Off' mode, so that the owner falsely believes the TV is off when it is on. In 'Fake-Off' mode the TV operates as a bug, recording conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server.

schestowitz

that's different

schestowitz

anyway..

schestowitz

it's old news by now

Ariadne

however, yes, i just personally got confirmation from FSF staff that he is back

schestowitz

we just wait to see if he also becomes president again

schestowitz

We should be happy because we're better with his advocacy than without it

schestowitz

we needed more voices during covid crisis

schestowitz

to speak out about (or against) all that surveillance creep

schestowitz

he spoke to RT about it last year

schestowitz

but that was about it..

Ariadne

if his advocacy is restrained to things he actually knows about, like software freedom, yes

Ariadne

maybe that was a condition of his rejoining the board

Ariadne

one can only hope

schestowitz

Ariadne: well..

schestowitz

people can express views we all do not agree with

schestowitz

you do not always agree with my views

schestowitz

and this is OK

schestowitz

it's normal

schestowitz

we need a different culture

schestowitz

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | The Myth of ‘Professionalism’ | Techrights

schestowitz

The FSF is respected for its courageous stance on speech

schestowitz

prior to 2019

schestowitz

stallman.org was managed outside the FSF

schestowitz

for a reason

Ariadne

anyway, it is my understanding that the FSF board prefers that stallman stick to software freedom topics and avoid public discussion about sex

Ariadne

and that such is a precondition for his rejoining the board

schestowitz

we have a real issue in the world

Ariadne

so, we will see what happens

schestowitz

"bill says"

schestowitz

"gates saYS"

schestowitz

he speaks about everything

schestowitz

like a "pro"

schestowitz

and us the "workers" need to "keep quiet"

schestowitz

we cannot have public opinions

schestowitz

for civil liberties we must challange that

schestowitz

e.g. freedom of association at work

schestowitz

unions

schestowitz

freedom of affiliation, too

schestowitz

and free speech (e.g. outside work

Ariadne

i agree in general, but also believe it is possible that RMS' extremely controversial views on sex can be harmful to his ability to be an effective executive at FSF

schestowitz

Codes of Conduct already present a threat to tat

Ariadne

so i think a precondition makes sense

schestowitz

they impose a corporate censorship regime on communities

schestowitz

Ariadne: we had the same issue here

schestowitz

when people (not me) brought up sex

Ariadne

yes, precisely

schestowitz

I think sex being brought up is sometiems deliberate

schestowitz

as controversy is assured

Ariadne

well, in the case of RMS, he invites the controversy

schestowitz

you mentioned some sex things here, mg did too

schestowitz

I'm not in favour of mixing topics as far as that

schestowitz

Ariadne: afaik, he read some things somewhere like Guardian

schestowitz

and then quickly quipped about them

schestowitz

in that definition

schestowitz

but it doesn't go into sexual details

Ariadne

i think it is deleted now

schestowitz

he ranted about a legitimate problem

some content on stallman.org has recently been deleted

which is overstretching defs

Ariadne

i suspect this is a result of the previously mentioned precondition

schestowitz

those are very real issues

schestowitz

they use them to remove politicians from office

schestowitz

sometimes over petty things

Ariadne

well i wish they would remove Cuomo from office for implementing a policy that killed 20k elderly people

schestowitz

in any event, we need to focus on the tech side of RMS

schestowitz

and not conflate that with other things

schestowitz

as the debates tend to shift away from that when the pull comes from RMS opponents

Ariadne

sure, i am just saying that according to FSF staffers who *I* know, there is a precondition attached to his board membership

schestowitz

in Hacker News many people steered the comments towards "autism"

schestowitz

afaik, he has n such diagnosis

schestowitz

like people who call Biden enile

schestowitz

and trump demented

schestowitz

based not on a medical diagnosis

schestowitz

so they do to Biden now what many did to Trump

schestowitz

I am happy RMS is back

schestowitz

because people listen to him

schestowitz

since the 70s or 80s he did some important practical work, recently more on the philosophical side

schestowitz

my next article is similar in a sense

schestowitz

I'm drafting it still

schestowitz

it's about the prioritisation of money over science

schestowitz

in re epo

schestowitz

EPO is VERY political

schestowitz

inc. how management misuses gender issues to distract from corruption

schestowitz

women are sick of that

schestowitz

the most controversial views of RMS are about corporations

schestowitz

the corporate media cannot stand them

schestowitz

but it cannot say that

schestowitz

as that would expose what this media really stands for

schestowitz

so they park and wait until a phony issue can be trumped up

Roy Marples is one of the imo entirely underappreciated people working in the trenches for software freedom

DaemonFC[m]

Not sure if that made it through.

MinceR

MinceR

it didn't

DaemonFC[m]

So I called Customer "Care" and some very pleasant lady in the Philippines took the call.

DaemonFC[m]

And Mandy spoke to her in Tagalog and she giggled a bit and deleted a code from my account that blocked the features and his plan from carrying over.

And his SIM swap worked without them demanding that I change to an expensive and crappier plan.

Mar 22 16:59

So that part went okay. My phone is a mixed bag with the new SIM, btw.

The T-Mobile Scam Call Blocker works. Sprint's didn't. My phone works fine in Walmart now, which was a total dead zone with the Sprint SIM.

DaemonFC[m]

But WiFi calling switches itself back to Cellular Preferred without asking, and then my reception sucks in my apartment when I could just use the WiFi calling before.

Mar 22 17:01

Mar 22 17:01

DaemonFC[m]

The transition for former Sprint customers has been a very bad experience and it's all so T-Mobile can save money by firing people and decommissioning towers that worked fine before.

schestowitz

glad I never have to deal with those companies

schestowitz

total ripoff

DaemonFC[m]

They've sacked at least 6,000 net employees that I know of and are trying to screw Sprint customers and raise their bills with a "free SIM card".

schestowitz

like 'unlimited' limits... for the price of home broadband for 5 people

schestowitz

I still need to buy batteries for our cordless phones

DaemonFC[m]

The $10 a month extra is $120 a year, and on top of that, you lose $108 worth of free HULU and $59 a year worth of AAA auto club membership.

schestowitz: MANY more layoffs are coming.

Mar 22 17:04

DaemonFC[m]

T-Mobile was stuck in leases yet to expire on Sprint stores and isn't going to use bankruptcy to get rid of them (better to just use attrition).

Mar 22 17:05

DaemonFC[m]

So half the stores will close (whichever ones are located too close to another one to be efficient), couple thousand stores, each employing roughly 10-12 people maybe.

Mar 22 17:05

schestowitz

DaemonFC[m]: maybe time to split job times

schestowitz

and recognise we have too many "bullshit jobs"

DaemonFC[m]

24,000-ish more job losses.

schestowitz

as the talk goes

DaemonFC[m]

The 6,000 so far are just the tip, and it's engineers and stuff.

schestowitz

give jobs to more people

DaemonFC[m]

Retail is next.

schestowitz

20 hours a week

schestowitz

raise pay, too

schestowitz

brb

DaemonFC[m]

Yes, raise minimum wage to about $17-18 an hour and change the definition of full time to like 28-29 hours.

schestowitz

just had to restart httpd on tuxmachines too

DaemonFC[m]

Come up with tax penalties if you work people less than that to game the system.

schestowitz

maybe the load causes all this

DaemonFC[m]

That would leave people working at Walmart no worse off financially than they are today.

Mar 22 17:08

DaemonFC[m]

But it would give them a third day off each week.

Mar 22 17:08

DaemonFC[m]

Which would raise the number of jobs in the store by about 60 or so.

Mar 22 17:08

DaemonFC[m]

At one company, they would have to hire about 230,000 more employees to do "work share", and net profits would go down a bit, but they'd still be okay.

Mar 22 17:09

DaemonFC[m]

But it'll never happen, Roy.

Mar 22 17:09

DaemonFC[m]

I became interested in the idea of work share when I heard that Germany was doing it as one prong of an attack on the unemployment problem.

Mar 22 17:10

DaemonFC[m]

We're still down about 11.5 million jobs since the start of the pandemic a year ago.

Mar 22 17:11

DaemonFC[m]

We lost about 20 million, and most of the "recovery" happened by October, so the Trump White House posted that "everything was recovering quickly....nothing to see here" and then the job gains pretty much stopped, right?

Mar 22 17:11

DaemonFC[m]

Only half a million more recovered since October.

Mar 22 17:11

DaemonFC[m]

This is clearly an L-shaped recession in the real economy. Not Wall Street because of money-printing.

Mar 22 17:12

DaemonFC[m]

Tech stocks are doing great, but they're all like T-Mobile and Microsoft. Bragging about their Tax Giveaways and Layoffs Act "savings" while sacking 5-10% of their workforce under cover of darkness.

DaemonFC[m]

Mar 22 17:13

schestowitz: Then Ford Motor Company announced that it was lying the whole time about that expansion in Ohio that "Trump" secured.

Mar 22 17:14

DaemonFC[m]

The $900 million in factory upgrades vanished, and they say they'll be using Trump NAFTA to open a new plant in Mexico instead.

Mar 22 17:15

DaemonFC[m]

Trump NAFTA only requires that the cars be built in "North America" and that the workers "average" $16 an hour (with no compliance mechanism), so they can blame this on Biden if they want, but it was what was negotiated in the treaty and it's not like Ford was ever going to expand in Ohio.

Mar 22 17:16

DaemonFC[m]

The UAW is furious, as they should be. But their members should be furious at their leader, Trumka, for supporting Trump NAFTA as it was based on Trump-ka's word that Ford would never exercise their right to come back and screw them all later, which they did.

Mar 22 17:17

schestowitz

[17:13] <DaemonFC[m]> (News won't print it.)

Mar 22 17:21

DaemonFC[m]

What everyone in America really wants is more good jobs, so you can almost forgive some of them for being duped by Trump's siren song beckoning them to crash into the rocks, the first time.

Mar 22 17:22

DaemonFC[m]

But some of them voted for him again after they crashed into the rocks and it was obvious that no help was coming, from anyone.

Mar 22 17:22

schestowitz

MinceR: or say soros owns bruxelles

Mar 22 17:22

DaemonFC[m]

Trump's 757 is parked at an airport in upstate New York.

DaemonFC[m]

The engines are apparently so far gone that it's not even worth the price of fixing it.

schestowitz

fly it without fixing

DaemonFC[m]

The last time it flew was a campaign prop and the people the news spoke with say it was costing an enormous amount of money to keep it flying then.

DaemonFC[m]

A pilot who saw it estimated that the cost of fixing just one of the engines would be a million dollars because the price of an overhaul would exceed purchasing a new one.

schestowitz

schestowitz

planes have to be used a lot to be worth it

schestowitz

otherwise, share them

That's particularly true with luxury models where they don't want you fixing them though and have patents to ensure no second source parts.

schestowitz

schestowitz

I don't like flying.

And there's absolutely no way I'd do it for another 13 days. "Gee, 4.5 hours with nothing to do where they bill me two months worth of Comcast to have wifi on the plane.".

I usually just load up the laptop with movies and watch that on the flight.

They arrested Marilyn Hartman again. The "serial stowaway". She gave an interview to the news after removing her ankle bracelet and leaving the house without the court's permission. In the interview, she admitted she stowed aboard at least 30 flights since 2002 and the TSA never noticed until 2014.

DaemonFC[m]

The judge was so angry at her he ordered her held without bail in the Cook County jail.

The reason he could have been sentenced to 6,000 years in prison in Washington State is because of that guy in the 80s (forget the name) who kidnapped and raped a young boy and cut his penis off.

<schestowitz "ha"> Early on, HydrogenAudio did public listening tests of iTunes AAC vs. MP3.

Mar 22 20:02

DaemonFC[m]

Overall, it was a wash between the two formats, with one winning over the other about an equal number of times and about the same overall score.

Mar 22 20:02

DaemonFC[m]

While iTunes improved, so did MP3 for a number of years.

Mar 22 20:03

In the end, iTunes scored a little better, but it was never 50% more efficient at any point in history.

Mar 22 20:03

DaemonFC[m]

Even in the end it was perhaps 20% more efficient than MP3, but storage became an unimportant issue because it expanded while costs went down.

schestowitz

there was retaliation for that

Mar 22 21:49

DaemonFC[m]

At least they used to be quite funny. Everyone who used the release version would have quickly surmised how bad it was. Like everything else Microsoft released it eventually got mostly patched up by the end of its supported lifecycle.

Mar 22 21:49

DaemonFC[m]

Then onto another release disaster.

Mar 22 21:49

DaemonFC[m]

The people who leap to the front of the line hit all of the really bad problems and then Windows reports on that.

Mar 22 21:50

That's why Microsoft did $40 Windows 7 upgrades and "free" Windows 10.

And I mentioned that they had removed the registry backup tool from Windows 98 that ran under DOS.

DaemonFC[m]

The second time around, I copied some improved system utilities from Windows Me that ran on Windows 98 and called it a day.

DaemonFC[m]

Windows 98 would let you stomp defrag with one from Windows Me that didn't start from the beginning every time there was a disk write.

DaemonFC[m]

Sometimes, with Windows 98, you could leave defrag running all night and it would get stuck somewhere and still be running the next morning.

schestowitz

defrag

schestowitz

I remember that...

DaemonFC[m]

On Windows 10, it's still called defrag, but you never really see it.

DaemonFC[m]

It runs automatically. On an SSD, it just occasionally wakes up and TRIMs the file system.
