| schestowitz | In response to recently adopted GOJ government procurement | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | guidelines which give preference to open source systems, a group | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | of major U.S. and Japanese IT firms have formed a consortium to | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | produce servers and software running an identical form of Linux | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | operating system. The consortium includes Oracle, IBM, Hewlett- | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | Packard, Dell, NEC, Hitachi, and NTT Data. Oracle will manage | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | the maintenance of the operating system thus lowering costs for | Sep 09 09:13 |
| schestowitz | those are considering switching to Linux. | Sep 09 09:14 |
| schestowitz | The Communications Ministry is concerned about over-reliance on | Sep 09 09:14 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft Windows systems and claims that the fact that the | Sep 09 09:14 |
| schestowitz | Windows' source code is not open might limit freedom in | Sep 09 09:14 |
| schestowitz | developing new systems. According to Nikkei, currently, 78 | Sep 09 09:14 |
| schestowitz | percent of the servers in Japan run Microsoft Windows, compared | Sep 09 09:14 |
| schestowitz | to 14 percent that run Linux. (ECON: Marilyn Ereshefsky) | Sep 09 09:14 |

| TechrightsSocial | @keithccurtis: @schestowitz U need less paranoia. A basic fact that MS has people working on both things. Can't defeat what U don't understand. | Sep 09 18:59 |
| MinceR | they gladly say things to upset the free software community | Sep 09 18:59 |
| schestowitz | I have better things to look a than the 'gentle' side of Microsoft, i.e. PR | Sep 09 19:00 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: not much anymore | Sep 09 19:00 |
| schestowitz | as far as I can tell | Sep 09 19:00 |
| schestowitz | When did de raadt last throw a hissy? | Sep 09 19:01 |
| MinceR | dunno | Sep 09 19:01 |
| MinceR | it either was a long time ago or people ignore him so much it doesn't even propagate anymore | Sep 09 19:01 |
| schestowitz | I think he portrayed himself as anti-FSF troll | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | By only getting publicity when doing *that* | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | I saw him in a docu | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | And I know what he generally does | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | But most I know about him is the trolling | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | and the rants against inte./marvel | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | then there's the recent openbsd hole | Sep 09 19:06 |
| schestowitz | to which he responded | Sep 09 19:07 |
| schestowitz | so he makes the impression of being a poisonous person | Sep 09 19:07 |
| schestowitz | and openbsd is seen by some as arrogant | Sep 09 19:07 |
| MinceR | as far as i can tell, most if not all the talking points favoring *bsd over gnu/linux are lies | Sep 09 19:08 |
| MinceR | (usually qualified with "that stuff is not part of the default install, therefore it doesn't count") | Sep 09 19:08 |
| schestowitz | got examples? | Sep 09 19:10 |
| schestowitz | I notice in phoronix | Sep 09 19:10 |
| schestowitz | Larabel proprs up freebsd this week | Sep 09 19:10 |
| schestowitz | and then did a provocative headline | Sep 09 19:10 |
| schestowitz | something about bsd better for gaming then linux, with question mark in headline | Sep 09 19:10 |
| schestowitz | I think phoronix is running low on news | Sep 09 19:10 |
| schestowitz | so larabel scrapes a little off the bottom, I can't blame him | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | I'm happy that we have cablegate now | Sep 09 19:11 |
| MinceR | i've heard the "freebsd is so well documented" so many times | Sep 09 19:11 |
| MinceR | then i had to use it | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | we have like 505% more traffic than usuaul today | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | new visitors too | Sep 09 19:11 |
| MinceR | turned out the arcane, never-used process of "getting mysql to work" was never documented anywhere | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: maybe it's well documented | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | at code level too | Sep 09 19:11 |
| MinceR | i couldn't figure out how to convince the damn thing to start it | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | compared to windows | Sep 09 19:11 |
| schestowitz | the blob | Sep 09 19:12 |
| MinceR | and of course they changed everything so gnu/linux oriented guides won't work | Sep 09 19:12 |
| schestowitz | linux has comments on the code in multiple languages | Sep 09 19:12 |
| MinceR | when larabel props up bsd, that's just standard m$ pro-bsd bullshit | Sep 09 19:12 |
| MinceR | larabel works for idg | Sep 09 19:12 |
| schestowitz | it's not | Sep 09 19:12 |
| MinceR | idg is a flunky of m$ | Sep 09 19:12 |
| schestowitz | cause he hardly propped it up | Sep 09 19:12 |
| MinceR | connect the dots | Sep 09 19:12 |
| schestowitz | the issue is IDG ads there | Sep 09 19:12 |
| schestowitz | tthey advertise MS in Linux stories | Sep 09 19:13 |
| MinceR | "we love bsd because it's free code we can take any time, but we can't admit that so we'll just make up random bullshit to advertise bsd" | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | oh | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | you beat me to it | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | re IDG | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | but.. | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | he insists it does not affect his content | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | and I believe him | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | but they still would pay him to provoke for hits | Sep 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz | it's like the SOEMTHINGWorld sites | Sep 09 19:14 |
| schestowitz | They get paid by views/comments | Sep 09 19:14 |
| MinceR | i don't believe him | Sep 09 19:14 |
| schestowitz | So nobody does good invetigations | Sep 09 19:14 |
| schestowitz | Just some appeal to emotion | Sep 09 19:14 |
| schestowitz | "Linux is dying" | Sep 09 19:14 |
| MinceR | i always doubted it and he proved me right with his first troll headline | Sep 09 19:14 |
