| psydroid | so for the GNOME lawsuit someone on this Dutch site was questioning the connection between Microsoft, Gates and Intellectual Ventures, so I linked a few Techrights articles | Sep 28 00:42 |

| psydroid | but I have had a suspicion for a long time that Microsoft employs people working at partner firms to infiltrate these sites and post their pro-Microsoft views there | Sep 28 00:43 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-itsfoss.com | The Great Open Source Divide: ICE, Hippocratic License and the Controversy - It's FOSS | Sep 28 08:29 | |
| mandy | Yet again the poisonous C.o.C. crowd trying to rule Linux, even openly against the Freedoms/FSF this time. | Sep 28 08:29 |
| mandy | As somany are saying in the article's comments, there's no way politics should be messing with developers/code/users, especially at their expense. | Sep 28 08:30 |
| r_schestowitz | hi mandy | Sep 28 08:31 |
| r_schestowitz | ( DaemonFC[m] connection to your husband?) | Sep 28 08:31 |
| mandy | Hi r_schestowitz :-) | Sep 28 08:31 |
| r_schestowitz | mandy: I know the article | Sep 28 08:31 |
| r_schestowitz | I will not touch it | Sep 28 08:31 |
| mandy | Yes? | Sep 28 08:31 |
| r_schestowitz | two main reasons (can think of more) | Sep 28 08:31 |
| r_schestowitz | 1) don't feed the trolls | Sep 28 08:31 |
| r_schestowitz | 2) as esr too has said (I don't often agree with him), stay well away of these troublemakers, don't become their 'target' | Sep 28 08:32 |
| r_schestowitz | So no... Techrights won't cover this | Sep 28 08:32 |
| mandy | Right, I see. I'd been worried to not see it written anywhere but itsfoss, not even reddit, lol, but I'm reassured by what you're saying, as if it's simply a case of not giving these trolls attention, then it can't be something that's ultimately a real threat. | Sep 28 08:33 |
| r_schestowitz | also think of it like this | Sep 28 08:34 |
| r_schestowitz | remember the 2016 US election? | Sep 28 08:34 |
| mandy | Developers just powering on regardless will certainly annoy them, lol, as well as being ignored | Sep 28 08:34 |
| r_schestowitz | They gave Trump billions worth of media publicity | Sep 28 08:34 |
| r_schestowitz | his rivals had to pay for theirs | Sep 28 08:34 |
| mandy | You're right, yes. | Sep 28 08:34 |
| r_schestowitz | This idiot does not deserve any attention | Sep 28 08:34 |
| r_schestowitz | if you want a very unsavoury coverage | Sep 28 08:35 |
| r_schestowitz | (and background) | Sep 28 08:35 |
| mandy | As long as everyone dismisses this CoC rubbish, they have no power. | Sep 28 08:35 |
| r_schestowitz | then read https://theothermccain.com/2018/05/30/coraline-ada-ehmke-transgender-feminist-satanic-sjw/ | Sep 28 08:35 |

| mandy | Thanks for the link and headsup :-) | Sep 28 08:36 |
| r_schestowitz | it'll make you more angry | Sep 28 08:36 |
| r_schestowitz | but this is what we deal with, need to at least understand it and keep this underground | Sep 28 08:36 |
| mandy | I bet it will. These ppl are like nasty little crabs snapping at everyone's ankles, when there are far more important things to focus on. | Sep 28 08:36 |
| r_schestowitz | they're like pigs wanting to drags us to the mud for a fight so we're down to their level | Sep 28 08:36 |
| r_schestowitz | I have a good article about Torvalds coming | Sep 28 08:37 |
| r_schestowitz | stick around, I'm always done | Sep 28 08:37 |
| r_schestowitz | (it's about technical and corporate aspects) | Sep 28 08:37 |
| mandy | Yes, seeing the truth about what's going on is so important, and being able to get an overview, and dismiss what/who shouldn't be given attention, in order to focus on what's really needing attention/action | Sep 28 08:37 |

| r_schestowitz | > the developers are helpless on this one. sure, they should put their foot down. it would help. it would also take away from their valuable work, and the developers really arent where the problem comes from. this is not an isolated incident-- it is years of actual abuse. glorified hall monitors with a whiff of their own authority, like huffing glue or petrol in a paper bag. its killing the whole thing, slowly. | Sep 28 10:56 |

| r_schestowitz | amarsh04: can you elucidate on systemd? | Sep 28 12:15 |
| r_schestowitz | amarsh04: also, what happens to Andre Morton? | Sep 28 12:15 |
| r_schestowitz | He has been so quiet since joining Google | Sep 28 12:15 |
| r_schestowitz | And now we have an American Microsoft apologist -- not Australian friend of Linus -- as 'next in line' for Torvalds. How did that come about? | Sep 28 12:16 |
| amarsh04 | not really r_scestowitz - I just removed systemd as much as possible from my Debian unstable installations, and used a repository from one of the Devuan contributors until Devuan was available | Sep 28 12:22 |
| r_schestowitz | see the above text | Sep 28 12:23 |
| r_schestowitz | an insider of devuab circles sent me this hours ago | Sep 28 12:23 |
| amarsh04 | systemd just seemed to want to take so much control of things it broke use cases that their maintainers didn't happen to use, or assumed that one always had local console access to fix things | Sep 28 12:23 |
| r_schestowitz | *devuan | Sep 28 12:23 |
| amarsh04 | I hadn't followed the politics of Devuan | Sep 28 12:24 |
| r_schestowitz | me neither | Sep 28 12:24 |
| r_schestowitz | see latest techrights articles (this morning's) | Sep 28 12:24 |
| r_schestowitz | we might need a lot more of devuan in years to come | Sep 28 12:24 |
| amarsh04 | ok, when I can, between work days I can be a bit drained | Sep 28 12:25 |
| amarsh04 | this week working Fri / Sat / Sun / Mon / Tue | Sep 28 12:25 |
| r_schestowitz | ok | Sep 28 12:26 |
| r_schestowitz | we decided we might retire soon | Sep 28 12:26 |
| r_schestowitz | 10 years | Sep 28 12:27 |

| amarsh04 | I wasn't running linux at home until 2004 but had heard Linux Torvalds live in 1994 at a conference for the now defunct Australian Unix Users Group | Sep 28 12:29 |
| r_schestowitz | why do you visit Tokyp so often? | Sep 28 12:31 |
| amarsh04 | seeing live music, very friendly rapport between artists even across different record companies and with and between fans | Sep 28 12:32 |
| amarsh04 | also almost the same time zone and relatively clean and safe | Sep 28 12:33 |
| r_schestowitz | so you like jpop or something else? | Sep 28 12:33 |
| amarsh04 | music of anime / games | Sep 28 12:33 |
| r_schestowitz | we like k-pop | Sep 28 12:34 |
| r_schestowitz | j-pop is a bit different, I like it a bit less | Sep 28 12:34 |
| amarsh04 | but I've also seen Yellow Magic Orchestra live and jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara and some classical concerts and musical theatre | Sep 28 12:34 |
| amarsh04 | audience sizes from 14 people to 27,000 people | Sep 28 12:37 |
| amarsh04 | nice being able to get almost anywhere in Japan by train | Sep 28 12:47 |
| r_schestowitz | that's good for their air quality too | Sep 28 12:48 |
| r_schestowitz | manchester is improving in that regard | Sep 28 12:48 |
