schestowitz-pi2yes, they are "consolidating" thoughMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2natwest has just 2 branches left in townMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2some have even fewerMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2and it's a BIG townMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2i told you last year how hard it is to convince them to just "waste"Mar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2A4 paper to tell you your balanceMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2i feel a little guilty because in 2001 i was boastiing about how i was an early adopted ofMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2online banking, they gave out CR-ROM at the timeMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2the CD-ROM was mostly for a Web site  Mar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2now they use this agenda for "creep"Mar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2no serviceMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2kafka dream: man wakes up, "oh, i have monies at the bank!"Mar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2goes o atm, atm says no cash, tries to find a bank branch all over townMar 23 01:26
schestowitz-pi2ete etc (make phonecall, they say buy a smart one, get "app")Mar 23 01:26
techrights[sec]Here not all the banks have even a single branch in the region.Mar 23 01:27
techrights[sec]THose that do, have only a single office with *highly* restricted visitingMar 23 01:27
techrights[sec]hours.Mar 23 01:27
techrights[sec]In Norway, they gave "free" debit cards to under-18s and all adults whoMar 23 01:27
techrights[sec]had the same card had outrageous service fees on each and every purchase.Mar 23 01:27
techrights[sec]The kids quickly avoided learning how to handle cash.Mar 23 01:27
techrights[sec]Maybe from a surveillance / tracking perspective?Mar 23 01:28
schestowitz-pi2should techrights cover the issue, _citing_ my experience with ATMs?Mar 23 01:28
techrights[sec]Maybe from a surveillance / tracking perspective?Mar 23 01:29
techrights[sec]Is the PP active in the area?  This is ostensibly their platform.Mar 23 01:29
schestowitz-pi2Loz Kaye lives near meMar 23 01:30
schestowitz-pi2we also greet each other in the streetMar 23 01:30
schestowitz-pi2he was their head before they went underMar 23 01:30
schestowitz-pi2he was on RT -- shudder -- a few timesMar 23 01:30
schestowitz-pi2but PP is history here... PPUKMar 23 01:30
techrights[sec]Might tip him off as to the ATM situation.Mar 23 01:32
techrights[sec]Same here, none of the candidate had anything related to net neutrality,Mar 23 01:32
techrights[sec]copyright reform, or privacy on their statements and most had basicallyMar 23 01:32
techrights[sec]blank statements.  Mar 23 01:32
schestowitz-pi2tell you what...Mar 23 01:33
schestowitz-pi2i will monitor what happens the next few daysMar 23 01:33
schestowitz-pi2and maybe cover it, video+textMar 23 01:33
schestowitz-pi2atm i have a busy publishing schedulke: pension, epo, fsf, maybe ryanMar 23 01:33
schestowitz-pi2weekends are easierMar 23 01:33
techrights[sec]okMar 23 01:33
schestowitz-pi2one person mentioning the problem is better than zero people naming the problemMar 23 01:34
schestowitz-pi2e.g. cashless ATMs (literlaly no cach in them, just balance check)Mar 23 01:34
schestowitz-pi2"son, when i was my age we had machines that dispensed money... then they became Mar 23 01:35
schestowitz-pi2telescreens that tell you your bank balance, but people thought it was useless aMar 23 01:35
schestowitz-pi2and get spyphones with apps instead"Mar 23 01:35
techrights[sec]Once people accept that there is no cash in the ATMs they will get removedMar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]because few will complain at that point.Mar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]That's an other problem which m$ has provided: getting people to accept abuseMar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]witout complaining and a general learned helplessness about the situation.  Mar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]Worse, many people have become m$ sympathizers due to disinformation andMar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]just plain "magical thinking" about the situation.  I recall now 20 years ago Mar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]almos, when I spoke with two friends over beer.  One was in realestate but Mar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]ran an office which was 100% FOSS due to him and the others there being tunedMar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]in.  The other kept objecting with "but that would not be allowed if theyy Mar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]tried that" or "someone would stop that if they tried that" to all theMar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]facts we brought up, facts which were established in court.  Yet the one guy wasMar 23 01:40
techrights[sec]in 100% denial about what m$ was doing.  Anyway, the point with that digression Mar 23 01:41
techrights[sec]is that there is a lot of disinformation out there combined with wishful,     Mar 23 01:41
techrights[sec]unrealistic thinking. Mar 23 01:41
techrights[sec]and denial of empirical facts.  Mar 23 01:41
techrights[sec]Then there is the learned helplessness which is even more harmful.Mar 23 01:41
schestowitz-pi2i'll take note of all this and cover soon, maybe weekendMar 23 01:41
techrights[sec]m$ == incompetence. Mar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]Their sales pitch is that it is so simple that trained monkeys can run itMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]but then when it inevitably fails to work as advertized, whine that it is tooMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]hard and that they lack the knowledge and skill to make it workMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]In truth those products only have to look good enough to make the sale toMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]the manager with purchasing authority.  After that, it is the fault of theMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]"IT" dept for not making it work, even though it doesn't have the possibilityMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]to work.  Managers love M$ Outlook and M$ Exchange because the latter losesMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]mail left right and center, giving them plausible deniability for their claimsMar 23 01:46
techrights[sec]that the mail was lost when they neglect a task.   Mar 23 01:46
schestowitz-pi2last week i learned that TheLiar also lied to other people about losing mailMar 23 01:48
schestowitz-pi2or spamMar 23 01:48
schestowitz-pi2and did not respond to basic mail/contactsMar 23 01:48
schestowitz-pi2he is the one who tries to brush away his past with the company nowMar 23 01:48
schestowitz-pi2"evil, evil man"Mar 23 01:48
techrights[sec]Yes, they love M$ Exchange because then people have to give them the benefitMar 23 01:50
techrights[sec]of the doubt about the mail having been lost whenever they use that excuse.Mar 23 01:50
techrights[sec]And those are the people currently writing policy and strategy documents on   Mar 23 01:50
techrights[sec]^national policy and strategy documents on behalf of the Biden administrationMar 23 01:50
techrights[sec]^ topic ?Mar 23 01:50
techrights[sec]name and shameMar 23 01:50
techrights[sec]not that they have any shame or conscience at all if they are on the m$ payrollMar 23 01:50

techrights[sec]He is taking up the cause of human rights and confronting over it...Mar 23 13:15
techrights[sec]He's doing very good work but will have to focus a little and maybe aimMar 23 13:15
techrights[sec]more judiciously so he can get a lot done before they get himMar 23 13:15
schestowitz-pi2some people in his position start 'doping' (like lunduke; trolling, now ill again)Mar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2and then they are regarded as spoiled fruitMar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2phobia, isms, etc.Mar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2shouting on camera is never a good idea, it's an own goalMar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2better to take a break from the pc for a few daysMar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2rms became too softMar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2to the point of tolerating things he oughtn'tMar 23 13:17
schestowitz-pi2he has a leash and braceMar 23 13:17

techrights[sec]https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=23/03/22/0145259Mar 23 13:22
techrights[sec]His background is that he talks to the camera instead of paying a shrink likeMar 23 13:22
techrights[sec]a "normal" newyorker.Mar 23 13:22
techrights[sec]RMS has been broken, I am very reluctant and sad to admit.Mar 23 13:22
techrights[sec]He is on a leash now based on his last few talks.  Mar 23 13:22
techrights[sec]He has lost a lot of the passion in his speech too.Mar 23 13:22

schestowitz-pi2fro 5-10 mins I've been waniting to utter out loud some examplesMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2but refrainedMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2the short story is, "more extreme than RMS" will become a thingMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2while they soften RMSMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2change of subject, as I want to empty my head off thisMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2so truthout did not 1 but two "trans youth" 'articles' yesterdayMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2this isn't about trans but kidsMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2but this has not been a recurring theme for weeksMar 23 13:33
schestowitz-pi2this is not good for those sites, they pick subjects few are sympathetic toMar 23 13:33
*psydroid2 (~psydroid@u8ftxtfux23wk.irc) has joined #tuxmachinesMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]M$ has been pushing that as a trope for about two decadesMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]Yes, it's a way of moving the goals posts, people are trained to use RMSMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]as beyond the outlier boundary and as M$ moves him into line, people move furtherMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]under their control.  Mar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]It's a way of taking attention off of real problems and pretend that theyMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]only apply to a subset of the population.  The EFF does that all the time Mar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]since Barlow died.  Mar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]Not just subjects which few are sympathetic to but actively use those  Mar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]unsympathetic topics to marginalize key issues which apply to the wholeMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]population at large.Mar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]e.g. not privacy for all, but privacy for $GROUPMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]e.g. not technology literacy for all, but technology literacy for $GROUPMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]etc Mar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]The only goal is not to help $GROUP but for the general population to ignoreMar 23 13:38
techrights[sec]or become inactive in regards to the otherwise important topic.Mar 23 13:39
schestowitz-pi2dare i say there is a darker playbook hereinMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2and it goes likeMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2roy is worse than RMS (they tried it on me 15y years ago)Mar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2and:Mar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi21) roy talks about issue xMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi22) roy does not condem yMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi23) x and y are not relatedMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2hence x is wrongMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2because it lacks a focus on yMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2exampe: roy says boycotting a nation in freesw is badMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2hence roy supports putinMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2roy is homophobicMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2they tried the same on fsfMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2but fsf stopped allowing interjection of this toxic shitMar 23 13:50
schestowitz-pi2this toxic shit canceled esr from  osiMar 23 13:50
techrights[sec]yep and that's about the time frame of that tooMar 23 13:58
techrights[sec]esr got cancelled hard, remember they aimed for linus for some years beforeMar 23 13:58
techrights[sec]they could find a way to take him outMar 23 13:58
techrights[sec]the guy who ran SELF was hunted similarly to the early designs against LinusMar 23 13:58
techrights[sec]but he fended them off successfully until the pandemic broke the conference Mar 23 13:58
techrights[sec]cycle and killed the momentum for SELF.Mar 23 13:58
