| techrights[sec]_ | I'm just commenting now but have noticed for the last two or so years that | Aug 02 08:19 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Indonesia has been rather successful in shutting down coverage of what they | Aug 02 08:19 |
| techrights[sec]_ | are doing to West Papua and to a lesser extent Java and Borneo. | Aug 02 08:19 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I presume the silence gets external help from the wahhabists financing | Aug 02 08:19 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the aggression indirectly. | Aug 02 08:19 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | intresting task: we know ksa funds a lot of silicon valley | Aug 02 08:19 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | how much of the media is oil-funded now? | Aug 02 08:19 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Probably a lot. Somewhat related, KSA funds 60% of Malaysia IIRC. Malayasia | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | used to be buddhist a few decades ago before the violent population explosion | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and incursions. | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The media funding is an important question for the effects of influnece. | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | However, the control of social control media is a big matter too since | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | so many "journalists" just check in with Twitter or Facebook and fabricate | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | an article based on the spin and lies they were presented with. | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | rather than actually doing the barest minimum of journalism. | Aug 02 08:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | yes, they quote x y z based on what they can find in twitter | Aug 02 08:38 |
| techrights[sec]_ | so it is a psuedo consensus shaper | Aug 02 08:38 |

| schestowitz-pi3 | GulgTube did the same later | Aug 02 08:42 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | you watch what you are told, even if you don't feel it | Aug 02 08:42 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | you don't watch what you subscribe to | Aug 02 08:42 |
| techrights[sec]_ | There is the sequence, too, as you point out, in addition to shadow banning | Aug 02 08:58 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and down ranking / up ranking | Aug 02 08:58 |

| techrights[sec]_ | yes that is what "Planets" are about. I have never followed any after | Aug 02 08:59 |
| techrights[sec]_ | (or before) investigating what they are about. Planet Debian has been | Aug 02 08:59 |
| techrights[sec]_ | notably problematic, but the others were too even if not quite as bad. | Aug 02 08:59 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | planet debian is like the guard who denies you access to the office | Aug 02 09:01 |

| schestowitz-pi3 | trying another approach | Aug 02 17:53 |
| techrights[sec]_ | gluten-free is mostly a scam and if one truly needs it, say one has celiac's | Aug 02 17:53 |
| techrights[sec]_ | disease, then a lot of the stuff pretending to be gluten-free is dangerous | Aug 02 17:53 |

| techrights[sec]_ | What kinds of cheese? They are really good but fattening | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | brie, camembert? Oh there are several round kinds of soft cheese and they | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | are generally quite good. I keep them in an air tight box so they don't exchange | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | flavor with the other items in the fridge | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Listening to Nancy's LibrePlanet talk. There is a lot under the radar there. | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | One takeaway is the importance of domain expertise and that it is easiert | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | to train experts to program than vice versa. However, today's managers abhor | Aug 02 18:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | that because they don't have control. Never mind that the consultants the | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | new managers bring in make more of a mess than help, they are under the control | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | of that manager. | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | As mentioned SQL is an inappropriate technology compared to a hierarchal db | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | for that task. | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Anyway, the "problems" with VistA are due to managers starving the work pool | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and using the money for consultants rather than cultivating in-house expertise. | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Self-hosting staff has advantages which have been confirmed in many studies | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and major anecdotes. | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The AMA is fighting VistA, apparently, through proprietary billing codes | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Pretty much all of Jordan's health services utilize VistA now. | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Lots of traction in India too. | Aug 02 18:03 |
| techrights[sec]_ | It's easily customizable apparently | Aug 02 18:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | It's easily customizable apparently, which adds to being top-rated well over | Aug 02 18:07 |
| techrights[sec]_ | "Cerner" | Aug 02 18:07 |
| *monkeybusiness has quit (Quit: WeeChat 4.0.2) | Aug 02 18:34 | |
| techrights[sec]_ | A main obstacle against VistA seems to be a long-running, vendor-sourced FUD | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | against it reaching even the top levels of national politics. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Closed-source vendors spread FUD everywhere. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Though it can be difficult to deploy it is rated best once in use. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | One big problem is that the GUI is written in a closed-source language, Delphi, | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | despite being otherwise Open Source. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Oh here;s a deal-breaker in many areas; it is ASCII only | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | at least for now | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | But the falsehood coming from the politicians about "lack of programmers" is | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | false, because programmers don't have the domain expertise. Lab techs and MDs | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | have the expertise and can often be trained up to developer status. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | No .po files for localization. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Hmm. Censored: https://youtu.be/KfZISNsLPhA> | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | https://youtu.be/KfZISNsLPhA | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I'd say that all IT has become politics and about control now. That's why | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | RMS and his ideas are under such attack since he not only advocates freedom | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | from that and not only points the way but provides the tools as well | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The tribulations of VistA are just another example of the fight to wrest | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | control away from existing groups. | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | What bread or cracker do you have for the camembert? Any tomatos or grapes | Aug 02 19:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | to slice and add on top? | Aug 02 19:01 |

| techrights[sec]_ | but there are different cases where the specialized knowledge is more valuable | Aug 02 19:24 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and harder to obtain than the coding skills. There are roles for professional | Aug 02 19:24 |
| techrights[sec]_ | coders too. One example workflow (from a once great company) had highly | Aug 02 19:24 |
| techrights[sec]_ | experienced engineers work out algorithms and work flows and then once they | Aug 02 19:24 |
| techrights[sec]_ | had enough for the professional coder to see what was going on he optimised it | Aug 02 19:24 |
| techrights[sec]_ | but going back and forth with the engineers to ensure that it worked as | Aug 02 19:24 |
| techrights[sec]_ | intended | Aug 02 19:24 |
| psydruid | > RMS and his ideas are under such attack since he not only advocates freedom | Aug 02 19:40 |
| psydruid | And he came from a physics background so his job wasn't primarily IT or CS but using tools that were and would stay free so he could do his work without vendors of (closed source) software getting in the way | Aug 02 19:40 |
| psydruid | > One takeaway is the importance of domain expertise and that it is easiert | Aug 02 19:43 |
| psydruid | This is one of the main takeaways, the era of the isolated developer who operates in a vacuum doesn't exist anymore | Aug 02 19:43 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Found another quality blog. It is sparsely published but good, and FOSS-oriented and technical. I aimm | Aug 02 19:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | to find at least one per week, but that is a challenge | Aug 02 19:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and many just dry up and others are so inactive it is hard to say for sure | Aug 02 19:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | but sometimes they surprise in a good way. | Aug 02 19:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | * blog with RSS / Atom feed | Aug 02 19:44 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | psydruid: yes, the ideas are under attack | Aug 02 19:44 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | blogs were hard to find when i last tried | Aug 02 19:45 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | decent even harder | Aug 02 19:45 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | and active | Aug 02 19:45 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | atm i strive not to grow the opml file | Aug 02 19:45 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | but to make more time to write articles | Aug 02 19:45 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | i will try again tonight | Aug 02 19:45 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | i get too tired before I can record | Aug 02 19:45 |
| psydruid | I think it's important to emphasise that CS impacts and supports every field out there, so even as a non-CS/IT person you benefit from the tools that help you do your work being free | Aug 02 19:47 |
| psydruid | Most CS/IT persons just sell out to the highest bidder churning out software that they may not even use or care about | Aug 02 19:48 |
| psydruid | I don't generally sense any ethical radar or anything | Aug 02 19:49 |
| psydruid | and CS education separates students more and more from the platforms they're working on | Aug 02 19:49 |
| psydruid | So they can work higher up on the stack but cannot question what runs underneath | Aug 02 19:49 |
| psydruid | and that's how you get things like clown computing | Aug 02 19:50 |
| techrights[sec]_ | One can only stumble across them nowadays. There's really no other method | Aug 02 19:53 |
| techrights[sec]_ | to finding them. | Aug 02 19:53 |
| techrights[sec]_ | afk | Aug 02 19:53 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | psydruid: yes, masters of the systems | Aug 02 19:54 |
| schestowitz-pi3 | and people who merely create accounts on those | Aug 02 19:54 |
