schestowitzqu1j0t3: thanks for also offering room in CanadaMar 05 10:05
schestowitzsebsebseb: noMar 05 10:05
sebsebsebyesMar 05 10:05
schestowitzBut I'm transparentMar 05 10:05
sebsebsebyou just didMar 05 10:05
schestowitzThis is not personal details like personal livesMar 05 10:06
schestowitzThe main channel we can try to keep on topicMar 05 10:06
sebsebsebthis one gets publically logged as wellMar 05 10:06
schestowitzWhich is why I sometimes paste stuff of relevance to the community hereMar 05 10:06
sebsebseband you copy in loads of stuff hereMar 05 10:06
schestowitzSometimes, yesMar 05 10:06
sebsebseband I am asking why you do thatMar 05 10:06
schestowitzBut there's no 'back room' activityMar 05 10:06
schestowitzWe're not a secretive group, no hidden agendaMar 05 10:07
sebsebsebfor example the thing you just copied in, does that really make much sense to the rest of us?  no probably notMar 05 10:07
schestowitzAnd people can't accuse us otherwiseMar 05 10:07
sebsebsebwho is host?Mar 05 10:07
schestowitzTechrights has a web hostMar 05 10:07
schestowitzAnd I try to make sure the site is run without relying on some dubious companyMar 05 10:08
schestowitzSome people host with Google for exampleMar 05 10:08
schestowitzAnd it can create conflict of interestMar 05 10:08
sebsebseband the thing about paypal what was that?Mar 05 10:08
schestowitzRemember when we had Google made in techrights?Mar 05 10:08
sebsebsebno I don'tMar 05 10:08
schestowitzPeople from Novell said we were "Funded by Microsoft"Mar 05 10:08
sebsebsebI don't think I went to techrights when it was run on GoogleMar 05 10:08
sebsebsebor whatever your sayingMar 05 10:09
schestowitzCause Google AdSense put Microsoft ads there sometimesMar 05 10:09
sebsebsebohMar 05 10:09
sebsebsebok like Linux Today then I guessMar 05 10:09
schestowitzIt was Boycott Novell as the only project back thenMar 05 10:09
schestowitzAnd they tried to discredit us then by saying the hosting was paid for by Micrfosoft adsMar 05 10:09
schestowitzNovell staff is desperate for spin like thisMar 05 10:09
sebsebsebok sureMar 05 10:09
schestowitzYesMar 05 10:10
sebsebseband the site needs to run on Linux really as wellMar 05 10:10
schestowitzLinux TodayMar 05 10:10
schestowitzMake no mistakeMar 05 10:10
sebsebseband with Apache or something open source :DMar 05 10:10
schestowitzThey TOO get discredited for itMar 05 10:10
schestowitzStill... it's epicMar 05 10:10
schestowitzIt's seen by many as "Microsoft-funded"Mar 05 10:10
schestowitzBut you'd have to look back at when Brian ran itMar 05 10:10
sebsebsebwhat you mean epic?  it's still a famous example?Mar 05 10:10
sebsebsebwho's Brian?Mar 05 10:10
schestowitzCarla still gets that in the comments she approves sometimesMar 05 10:11
schestowitzBrian writes for IDG nowMar 05 10:11
schestowitzHe was the managing editor of LT for a long timeMar 05 10:11
sebsebsebwell in a way maybe Linux Today having  Microsoft adds isn't a competly bad thing, won't be seen as a Microsoft hate site by many that wayMar 05 10:11
schestowitzNot sure..Mar 05 10:11
schestowitzI think sites that have this reliance will be better off losing to the likes of LXer of FS DailyMar 05 10:12
sebsebsebhowever techrights well you write bad about Microsoft as well, so having Microsoft adds on the site woudn't be goodMar 05 10:12
schestowitzPeople come to these pages and seeing massive Microsoft adsMar 05 10:12
schestowitzAfter searching the Web for Linux infoMar 05 10:12
schestowitzsebsebseb: preciselyMar 05 10:12
schestowitzShane and I tried to block these adsMar 05 10:12
sebsebsebwho is Shane?Mar 05 10:12
schestowitzAnd they then came via Microsoft partner domainsMar 05 10:12
schestowitzShane used to write until 2009Mar 05 10:13
sebsebsebwhy did he quit?Mar 05 10:13
schestowitzLike I explained before, he had little time to go online, problems outside the siteMar 05 10:14
sebsebsebohMar 05 10:14
schestowitzBut it's his personal lifeMar 05 10:14
schestowitzAnd it would be impolite to go further into otMar 05 10:14
schestowitz*itMar 05 10:14
sebsebseband I didn't even know about techrights untill after your DDOSMar 05 10:14
schestowitzHis distro site is no longer liveMar 05 10:14
sebsebsebattackMar 05 10:15
sebsebseband someone was like,  they are trolls or something, and I came to channels, and so on from there,  said this stuff before I belive a few times probablyMar 05 10:15

schestowitzI was never a "troll"Mar 05 10:15
sebsebsebanyway I think the guy who I found out about the channel from, even said that maybe you did it to your own site or somethingMar 05 10:15
schestowitzI was someone some people don't agree withMar 05 10:15
schestowitzMostly pro-Microsoft people Mar 05 10:15
schestowitzI don't understand your last sentenceMar 05 10:16
sebsebsebit can be interesting how people can end up in the channel,  take nissh for example for the other channel, in because of that Ubuntu Member troll blog entryMar 05 10:16
schestowitzBut anyway, at the time I was very actively blogging in schestowitz.comMar 05 10:16
schestowitzWhen I wrote more with Shane I neglected my personal site as a blogging platformMar 05 10:17
schestowitzYes, the channel is interestingMar 05 10:17
sebsebsebschestowitz: the guy who I found out about Techrights from,  said techrights was trolls or something.  also I think he may have said about the DDOS attack and how maybe it didn't happen realy you did to your own site or something as in  made it go offline, as joke or whatever, I  don't know, I am talking over a year ago nowMar 05 10:17
schestowitzMany people have been around since it was started in 2008Mar 05 10:17
schestowitzAnd these days we make about 1MB of logs per dayMar 05 10:17
schestowitzsebsebseb: there are flase rumours about us "faking"Mar 05 10:18
schestowitz*falseMar 05 10:18
schestowitzAnd I know the idiots who spread these rumoursMar 05 10:18
schestowitzThe usual suspectsMar 05 10:18
sebsebseband before I went to the channels I am pretty sure I had been to techrights.org a few times, because of linuxtoday linking to itMar 05 10:18
sebsebsebschestowitz: anyway I remember why I stayed, two reasons reallyMar 05 10:19
sebsebseb1. well  oiaohm I guess and people like that yeah :)  people who knew Linux and had opinions like me and :)Mar 05 10:19
sebsebsebschestowitz: 2. plus I liked the dents coming in from identica, would sometimes get onto interesting stuff, because of thatMar 05 10:20
sebsebseband whilst I am at it,  after talking to you enough at first,  I felt quite welcome really, but I remember how you thought I might have been a Novell person or something,  because I told you to not show yourself as op all the timeMar 05 10:20
sebsebseb,but anyway over a year ago I was just talking, and doesn't time go quite quickly reallyMar 05 10:21
sebsebseb2008 you say boycottnovell IRC started, well I would have liked a channel like that back in 2008 really,  it's just I didn't know about it thenMar 05 10:22
sebsebsebschestowitz: I should say tweets coming in even above from Twitter?  I mean tweets used to come in as well as far as I know, but not anymore for some reason?Mar 05 10:23
schestowitz[10:19] <sebsebseb> 1. well  oiaohm I guess and people like that yeah :)  people who knew Linux and had opinions like me and :)Mar 05 10:24
schestowitzYes, people like you around hereMar 05 10:25
schestowitzSome people are troublemakersMar 05 10:25
schestowitzAnd people silently resent themMar 05 10:25
schestowitzDriving away other regularsMar 05 10:25
sebsebsebpeople like me? Mar 05 10:25
schestowitz[10:20] <sebsebseb> schestowitz: 2. plus I liked the dents coming in from identica, would sometimes get onto interesting stuff, because of thatMar 05 10:25
sebsebsebsomething?Mar 05 10:25
schestowitzI selected carefully what ensures we get all the news that matters in the IRC channelMar 05 10:25
schestowitzSo I don't need to read anything else, or hardly soMar 05 10:26
sebsebsebright, but does everyone who has their dents coming in, or nearly everyone, know they do?Mar 05 10:26
schestowitzNot just tech neither. Some politics (gentle), environment, showbizMar 05 10:26
schestowitzThe channel produce techbytes tooMar 05 10:26
schestowitzI met Tim mostly via IRC, same with GordonMar 05 10:26
sebsebsebyes I know who make techbytesMar 05 10:26
schestowitzMany real-life friendships formed herMar 05 10:26
schestowitz*(hereMar 05 10:26
sebsebsebuhmm you meet Tim once, more than once?Mar 05 10:27
sebsebsebGordon meet him yet?Mar 05 10:27
schestowitzNot yetMar 05 10:27
schestowitzTim spoke to you too, he told meMar 05 10:27
sebsebsebnoMar 05 10:27

schestowitzsebsebseb: yes, IRC is coreMar 05 10:28
sebsebsebwell gnufreex and mincher  and DeamonFC and diablod3 none of them are from UKMar 05 10:28
sebsebsebno I don't think the core of IRC is mainly UK peopleMar 05 10:28
schestowitzTrueMar 05 10:28
schestowitzdaemon is not core and diablo isn't eitherMar 05 10:29
sebsebseband yeah oiaohm he's not from UK eitherMar 05 10:29
schestowitzThey annoy peopleMar 05 10:29
schestowitzHe's from .auMar 05 10:29
sebsebsebwhat do you mean by core?Mar 05 10:29
sebsebsebthe main people who chat in IRC that don't annoy loads of people?Mar 05 10:29
schestowitzPeople whom I trustMar 05 10:29
schestowitzWhom I can link to without fear of regretting it laterMar 05 10:29
schestowitzEnder is flipping sides all the timeMar 05 10:30
schestowitzSo I don't trust himMar 05 10:30
sebsebseblink to, like RD on identica?Mar 05 10:30
schestowitzThose whom I trust are also politeMar 05 10:30
sebsebsebmention in a blog post maybe?Mar 05 10:30
schestowitzUnlike those random people who embarrass us by trolling sites/mailing listsMar 05 10:30
sebsebsebEnder is flipping sides?Mar 05 10:30
schestowitzYes, RD and quoting in the siteMar 05 10:30
schestowitzHe also subscribe to absurd theories nowMar 05 10:31
sebsebsebDeamonFC  DiabloD3 I guess, and sometimes Gnufreex and Mincer all try and annoy Jono at bit at times when he's in there I  guessMar 05 10:31
schestowitzhttps://twitter.com/einfeldt/status/43868681230495744Mar 05 10:31
TechrightsBot-sc@einfeldt: .@jonobacon why do u feel FOSS is going mainstream? Glad to hear it, of courseMar 05 10:32
schestowitzJono said: "Never in my career so far I have I ever felt like we are so close to being ready to bring Free Software to the mainstream. Exciting times."Mar 05 10:32
schestowitz"Free software"Mar 05 10:32
sebsebsebalso some of the things Mincer and Gnufreex say about Ubuntu for example, are pretty extreame, not that keen on it myself, but well  it's kind of funny in a way a lot of it even at timesMar 05 10:32
sebsebsebCanonical think Unity will hit off with the main streame, a lot of us in the Linux community, think that won't be quite the case thoughMar 05 10:32
sebsebsebin fact quite a few us think Mint will get more popular this year it seemsMar 05 10:33
schestowitzNaa... I think he refers to something elseMar 05 10:33
schestowitzUbuntu takes the beating at the momentMar 05 10:33
schestowitzI don't think it's deservedMar 05 10:33
schestowitzThe Banshee screamers...Mar 05 10:33
sebsebsebschestowitz: uhmm well Gnome Shell is getting a lot of negative comments about it as wellMar 05 10:33
sebsebsebschestowitz: about the maximise and minimise buttons not being thereMar 05 10:33
schestowitzPeople look for excuses to attack the desktop readerMar 05 10:33
schestowitz*leaderMar 05 10:33
schestowitzgnome3 also gets some nwegative feedbackMar 05 10:34
schestowitzAt least we have kDE and they're all developing fastMar 05 10:34
sebsebsebI think toher distro's need to,  get better and compete more properly :) ideally well a few of themMar 05 10:34
schestowitzUbuntu should keep Unity only for tabletsMar 05 10:34
schestowitzLike it was originallyMar 05 10:34
schestowitzsub-notebooks tooMar 05 10:34
sebsebsebwell KDE may get even more pouplar by a long way this year as a result of Gnome Shell and UnityMar 05 10:34
schestowitzMaybeMar 05 10:35
schestowitzDoesn't matter muchMar 05 10:35
schestowitzAndroid is winning a lotMar 05 10:35
sebsebsebschestowitz: #ubuntu IRC channel should be pretty interesting when 11.04 comes outMar 05 10:35
schestowitzAt the expense of manyMar 05 10:35
sebsebsebI will so be in there idleing and sometimes typing stuff evenMar 05 10:35
schestowitzIt's too noisy for me, I left itMar 05 10:35
sebsebsebyeah it's busy and it will be even more busy when 11.04 comes outMar 05 10:36
sebsebsebfor quite a while againMar 05 10:36
sebsebsebmaybe about 2000 nicks in there now, including well the bots and suchMar 05 10:36
sebsebsebyeah maybe about 2000 nicks for a while this time round when 11.04 comes outMar 05 10:36
sebsebsebanyway I am not that keen on the direction Ubuntu is going in, so yep I stopped doing #ubuntu supportMar 05 10:37
sebsebseband now getting more invovled with  other distro's instead, and it's great :)Mar 05 10:37
sebsebseboiaohm: we could chat hereMar 05 10:40

oiaohmVinton G CerfMar 05 10:45
sebsebsebnot heard of that oneMar 05 10:46
sebsebsebschestowitz: anyway Canonical deserves some of the negative stuff they get really,  for example to do with Copyright Assignments and UnityMar 05 10:49
sebsebsebschestowitz: and you would maybe even say they deserve negative stuff, for shipping Mono apps by defaultMar 05 10:50
sebsebsebif they deserve or not is opinion,  and depends  on what we are reffering toMar 05 10:50

schestowitz[10:57] <sebsebseb> that's the world we have anywayMar 05 10:58
schestowitzBut this is the wrong responseMar 05 10:58
sebsebsebschestowitz: in fact if of working age, and don't have a job, and could be working really, and not in education either, well then I guess yeah in general seen as a failure really by a lot of people, what ashameMar 05 10:58

sebsebsebif enough people get together we can change the world quite a bit, and one way we can get together and do this is by using the InternetMar 05 10:59
