| schestowitz-pi2 | yes, i was about to say; | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 1) was he fully authorised | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2) was it really him | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 3) why was he hired | Apr 15 06:09 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | 7) was there access breach | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | with snowden they accused him of using passwords of colleagues, for at least some of thr trash | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i assume you saw my remarks re TM | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no issues since ;-) | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so let it slide | Apr 15 06:09 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | social control media as political weapon (twitter noted) | Apr 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | billbc right now (rianne reading out): acess to classified docs "a lot more common then it might seem" | Apr 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they di emphasise the age; in US to get CD degree you'd be about 22. it does not explain what they used, instead | Apr 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they focus on salient details; rianne: "there is no mention of microsoft here"; iow, not really investigative jour | Apr 15 06:17 |

| techrights[sec]_ | Yep, that much was very obvious from the start, especially since ByteDance | Apr 15 09:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | can do that kind of thing at the click of a button. | Apr 15 09:36 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | mincer is right, today it has been less prominent | Apr 15 09:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | effective approach | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | identify who feeds the troll | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | speak to them | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | troll starved | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | troll feels unwanted and leaves | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | social approach to a problem | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | atm i think there are 3 trolls in the channel, inc. "them" gulagtroll | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and morono | Apr 15 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | gulagtroll barely speaks anymore | Apr 15 09:43 |
| techrights[sec]_ | perhaps, has that approach worked? I see many troll accounts in the logs | Apr 15 09:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | over a longer period of time. More like 5 or 6 active | Apr 15 09:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | starttruck and evasivewoman and a few others | Apr 15 09:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | mjg knows that dfc has more spare time than he does and is clever and | Apr 15 09:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | can rip into him on a frequent basis | Apr 15 09:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | yes, rianne likes sfc for that reason alone | Apr 15 09:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | she said today that last night she was thinking what they can try to "get" me for | Apr 15 09:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | btw, today i contacted the company's accountancy | Apr 15 09:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we hit them from many directions atm | Apr 15 09:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and i spoke to my dad about it in mumble some minutes ago | Apr 15 09:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I figure it is important to have several concurrent approaches to solving | Apr 15 09:47 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the theft of the pensions, as you have been doing but have no skill myself | Apr 15 09:47 |
| techrights[sec]_ | with administrivia to offer further advice | Apr 15 09:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | yes, the goals and methods are many | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 1) dad (shorthand) agrees pensions are very sensitive about their brand/reputation | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2) for now i won't make a fuss over the hangup, it's not the most strategic vector atm | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 3) colleague tries direct approach with the company | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 4) next week i have several things | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | many in tech have decent sslary and thus pensions | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so it is on topic | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | "Defrauded Members of Staff (GNU/Linux Engineers) | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | " | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | from a draft | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if we can compel them to double-check these things, in general, it'll help guard workers' rights | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not just gnu/linux | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as so few people bother with activism anymore (and dad agrees on that) | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | btw, i see "media" sites still shilling social [sic] media | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | IN SPITE of what NPR showed | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they refuse to LEARN! | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> Search vs social [sic] is bad framing. OUTSOURCING is bad. β https://pressgazette.co.uk/media-audience-and-business-data/media_metrics/news-referral-traffic-breakdown/ | Apr 15 09:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> Like George Bush, Koch front group advocates defunding media (so that oligarchs like Bill Gates and the Kochs can take over it) β https://reason.com/2023/04/13/ax-government-funding-for-npr/ | Apr 15 09:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i find myself nuking almost all entries about 1) trump 2) ai 3) plural individuals; that culls out a lot | Apr 15 09:57 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Yep they still give /billions/ in free marketing to him | Apr 15 09:59 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | still tweaking, learning, adpating a lot | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but becoming better at getting the signal out, along with you | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this weekend i mighht focus on daily links, as i will try to also take advantage of the great outdoors | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if weather plays along | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | explained my exercise routine to dad, he explained his | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | cardiac is his achilles heel; | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i still use hat 7.2kg shotput ball on the sofa behind me, then about 8 other exercises, not counting stair climbs | Apr 15 10:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but outside rope, run, bike etc. though still too chilly | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I've fallen quite out of shape having been extra tired + also lazy the last month | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The bike paths are clear here but it is 15km of hills to get to the edge of town | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | If it were 5km, I would not have problem but 30km round trip is too much even | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | though the weather is above freezing | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | It's about 18km to the library. I'd like to go but again, 36km round trip is | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | quite much. I should go back to doing kungfu forms indoors (and eventually) | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | outdoors when it gets warmer. However I have had a distinct lack of initiative | Apr 15 10:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | or motivation lately on top of the fatigue | Apr 15 10:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i know the feeling, esp. the getting started can be bery hard | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | when the enzymes do their thing | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i find that doing it while reading and not pushing _too_ hard | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | gets you started ands warned up | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | *warmed | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in recnt months I found that boxing, martial arts etc. can be done while scanning with eyes low yeidl sites | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | such as reason.com nypost and few others I've not yet removed entirely | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | because the eyes do almost all the work | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | at the same time you can "learn" something from the mostly boring/false headlines | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | fud-spotting | Apr 15 10:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | for instabce, now i glance at RBloggers | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | very low yeild | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and links to other sites | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | *yield | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but it doesn't hurt to read the title with the eyes | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Why should I use R: The Excel R plotting comparison: Part 2 https://www.r-bloggers.com/2023/04/why-should-i-use- | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | r-the-excel-r-plotting-comparison-part-2/ | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they still say "Excel" instead of spreadsheet | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like saying "Ford" insatead of car | Apr 15 10:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | exerciuise can be low-tensionb stretching, too | Apr 15 10:10 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Yes there is the reactivation barrier too | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Focusing the eyes during movement is important so reading is not possible but | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | listening to podcasts or news works. | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Calling spreadsheets "Excel" has become a problem once again. I had suggested | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | back in the OO.o days that several groups get together and eliminate the | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | trademark protection for "Excel", "PowerPoint", etc with the point being | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | made that they have become generic terms long ago. | Apr 15 10:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | FOSS groups could lawyer up and attack on that aspect, it would also gain | Apr 15 10:15 |
| techrights[sec]_ | a lot of publicity for LibreOffice and Calligra and others | Apr 15 10:15 |
| techrights[sec]_ | More than 30 years ago college instructors used to *insist* on teaching | Apr 15 10:15 |
| techrights[sec]_ | using at least two spread sheet programs so that students got the concepts | Apr 15 10:15 |
| techrights[sec]_ | behind the spreadsheets and not just locked into a single vendor. | Apr 15 10:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | at school they taught us "Astound" before anything Microsoft | Apr 15 10:18 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | just had a kitchen chat about why and how and when re pensions | Apr 15 10:18 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we have the strategy roughly drafted | Apr 15 10:18 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the main goal is not money recovery | Apr 15 10:18 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but i must recognise colleagues are unlike me | Apr 15 10:18 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and respect theirs too | Apr 15 10:18 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I would expect that most of your colleagues are expecting the company to | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | coughh up the money; I would also expect that paying money is the only way | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | to get either company to feel their mistakes; A "sincere apology" and | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | "taking all the blame" is not even an empty gesture | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Crime yes, but money too. | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Jail time is needed for the miscreants, settle for nothing less, but don't forget themoneyas that is all they are | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | concerned about | Apr 15 10:21 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I expect that if pressed they;d have no qualms about throwing one or more oftheir staff under the bus | Apr 15 10:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this is a crime | Apr 15 10:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i will push as far as needed | Apr 15 10:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | caution: securityweek loweinr standard lately | Apr 15 10:24 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but i did not follow them for several years so cannot compare over large chunks of time | Apr 15 10:24 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | marketing/webinars | Apr 15 10:24 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | i wanted to type haiti, but felt it would be too cruel because they already suffered enough | Apr 15 10:50 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- containerjournal.com | 4 Strategies for Kubernetes Cost Reduction - Container Journal | Apr 15 10:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> Kubernetes itself is Free software, but... in practice you will end up with a ton of proprietary garbage and bloat on top. Lots of charlatans and salespeople pay 'Linux' foundation to promote their K-branded snake-oil. | Apr 15 10:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> The EU commission (EC) Web site at ec.europa.eu is publishing a lot of non-English text in the English sections. This seems like a new thing. Is EU Brexiting England? | Apr 15 10:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> OK, so containerjournal definitely is jumping the shark. Posting pure spam and now Microsoft+proprietary+surveillance garbage. Just take your domain offline and end things with dignity. No need for such a humiliating, self-defeating exit. | Apr 15 10:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> Business model of 'Linux Foundation' = SPAM FUNNEL. Pay us some money, we'll relay _some_ of your money as bribes to "media partners", then seed the Web with a bunch of spammy fake articles, boosting them using fraudulent activities in the case of clickfraud spamnil. | Apr 15 10:51 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Haiti is end game for terminal stage capitalism | Apr 15 10:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | haiti is "ahead of the curve" | Apr 15 10:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in the negative sense | Apr 15 10:57 |
| techrights[sec]_ | It is important to enlighten developers that the must not read anything into | Apr 15 11:01 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the name "Linux Foundation" and instead only look at what they do and who | Apr 15 11:01 |
| techrights[sec]_ | is on the board and executive committee. | Apr 15 11:01 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Repetition is very imporant because relatively few realize what has gone on | Apr 15 11:01 |
| techrights[sec]_ | using the name "Linux" | Apr 15 11:01 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in that area I think we did a lot already | Apr 15 11:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | lunduke is barely active anymore, so we're almost on our own, but that's ok. same for epo. | Apr 15 11:02 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Still repetition is essential | Apr 15 11:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | repetition is ok, but new angle or material are needd | Apr 15 11:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | hence i stalk the news | Apr 15 11:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | otherwise borsdom turns people off/away | Apr 15 11:07 |
| techrights[sec]_ | It can be tacked on as a few words when the LF gets mentioned | Apr 15 11:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i have another kind of problem with LF these days | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe alluded to today in IRC | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the LF became more | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | secretive | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | less prolific | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they ruinsed their own sites | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | proprietary CMS | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no original "content" | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no marketing almost | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so RSS feeds yield nothing | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | their irs filings always come late regardless | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if you can add a pair of eyes, maybe we can show more | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they have a lot o hide | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | apropos, rianne dicsussed with me standard life | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's something like | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe they know something i don't know | Apr 15 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but they don't know if i don't know | Apr 15 11:16 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and they don't want me to know | Apr 15 11:16 |

| techrights[sec]_ | no but there are ways to take a slightly different dig at LF each time | Apr 15 12:13 |
| techrights[sec]_ | it gets mentioned | Apr 15 12:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | one rule of thumb, for me at least, never type or publish what can simply be linked to, instead | Apr 15 12:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | esp. if it is by oneself | Apr 15 12:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | hence, with LF there is a vacuum | Apr 15 12:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not empty page syndrome | Apr 15 12:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i want to present new info | Apr 15 12:14 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | i will read the links again later, i limited myself to 5 mins and it was hard to digest quickly | Apr 15 12:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | because the message is deep | Apr 15 12:14 |

| techrights[sec]_ | ok thanks | Apr 15 18:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | my opinion (not everyone agrees) | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if fewer "foss" sites are 'left' | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but at least we weed out the fakes | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | that's better s/n ratiio | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and fewers phonies that paste in lies such as ms <3 linux | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they are time-wasters at best | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | osi just sucked the dick of salesforce | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like that was gonna improve things | Apr 15 18:05 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | another 'theory' roughly sketched: | Apr 15 18:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | say the right things, be honest, good things will come | Apr 15 18:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but it might take time to be fully appreciated | Apr 15 18:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and you get abuse/trolling for doing all this | Apr 15 18:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | sometimes that just means you hurt someone who deserved it | Apr 15 18:09 |
