| schestowitz | identi.ca is moving to a new platform | May 16 02:06 |
| schestowitz | so twitfolk would no longer work, it used to work with Twitter up until OAuth was introduced around 2010 | May 16 02:06 |
| schestowitz | And now identi.ca is going to change too, and I'm not good a Perl, so can't rewrite the software | May 16 02:07 |
| qu1j0t3 | i'm a bit time limited. but check the channel i pm'd to you to see if this bot can work for you. | May 16 02:07 |
| qu1j0t3 | today i thought of some improvements | May 16 02:07 |
| schestowitz | does it havs ab option for one-line output? | May 16 02:08 |
| qu1j0t3 | it could be modified. | May 16 02:09 |

| eikonos | like putting it on one line? ;) | May 16 02:11 |
| schestowitz | phpirc would expand the tweet | May 16 02:11 |

| schestowitz | Linux Advocates is quickly turning into a schizophrentic version of BoycottNovell. One minute the guy is praising Fedora and Yum, the next he is scaremongering complete nonsense about developers and users being coerced into using systemd. | May 16 02:15 |

| schestowitz | I was invited to write for LA. I saw it from the inside for weeks. What a lot of people don't know (or choose not to know) is that Dietrich has some chronic deletionism issue which drove many contributors away from the site. A lot of the comments never ever show up. You may not know this because the suppressed voices never come to light. I, on he contrary, never ever deleted a blog comment. I give my critics courtesy. But I | May 16 02:23 |
| schestowitz | didn't Dietrich criticise for his policy of deleting comments (for lack of agreement, not for rudeness, so this was purely censorship and perception management). When Dietrich attacked members of the community, as he did to Fab (Linux Outlaws), I usually chose to stay quiet. One day I just said "Fab is not a troll" (after Dietrich had attacked him in public) and those 5 words were enough for him to kick me out. No incidents | May 16 02:23 |
| schestowitz | prior to it. I am not exaggerating. At leas4 4 contributors (now suppressed by him) wrote to me by E-mail about it. I'm not alone. | May 16 02:23 |

| schestowitz | " | May 16 02:30 |
| schestowitz | Boycott Novell did not call itself "Linux Advocates". Personally, based on what several Linux advocates told me, "Linux Advocates" is not about advocacy. Dietrich, unlike Katherine, admits it's a kind of experiment to see who passes his "advocacy" test (I can find you the direct quote); he already used to site to attack -- in public -- some longterm advocates. | May 16 02:30 |
| schestowitz | Boycott Novell was created in November 2006 shortly after the campaign to tax GNU/Linux (now Android and Chrome OS) using patents had begun. We needed to contain the bad precedent by removing the bad practice or at least marginalising it. It could become an unchallenged norm if it weren't for activism. A lot of people misunderstood Boycott Novell because Novell and Microsoft employees (among others) worked hard to demonise | May 16 02:30 |
| schestowitz | and misrepresent the site, including me personally. | May 16 02:30 |

| schestowitz | schestowitz, you are indeed not alone. The other day I wrote a response to Dietrich on his systemd article. My comment was trully well intentioned, although admittedly my words were of criticism (constructive). He not only deleted my comment, but also banned me from commenting on his site. Said deletion prevents me from retreiving my comment for your review...but it trully was not agressive at all. | May 16 13:11 |
| schestowitz | I went back to see if this was a common trend. Well, in one of the earlier articles he deleted a comment from a different person (Package manager article). What is interesting about this case is that I actually challenged ideas in the deleted post. My argument which was more aligned with the opinion of LA was _not_ deleted. And honestly, the comment deleted hardly merited to be so under any standard. | May 16 13:11 |
| schestowitz | For these reasons, I find this latest article to be comically ironic at best...and honestly disturbing. Dietrich's other article on "censorship [being a] symptom" is also starting to raise some flags on how trustworthy LA (and by extension the author) is. Without attributing more seriousness than the situation merits, allow me to vent some of the frustration by presenting a disturbingly similar analogy. The personality in | May 16 13:11 |
| schestowitz | question seems to me equally capricious as the current president of my original country (Argentina), who refuses to acknowledge all opposing views and faults of their own. Actively censoring opinions, presenting ridiculous excuses for any questionable offenses, and overblowing retaliations (e.g., censorship as a symptom). Such an oppressive personality has absolutely no place providing _ME_ any news. Being the internet a free | May 16 13:11 |
| schestowitz | place (sort of), my only recourse is to actively ignore and warn people to stay away from DA. Despite my hilighting of the word "me" to emphasize this as an opinion, I believe the site has no place providing _ANYONE_ with news. | May 16 13:11 |
| schestowitz | I don't know how LXer operates in this regards, but were it to a vote, I would definitely try to rid the site of all LA contributions. They don't do journalism...all they provide is a platform for discussion which is, clearly, broken by oppresion. LXer is also meant to post opinion pieces, but obviously the bar should be placed somewhere. I think LA is underwhelmingly not up to the standard that open source stands for. | May 16 13:11 |

| schestowitz | In this article "Confused by FUSE" on "linuxadvocates.com" The author Dietrich quoted a bad source to make point. Was told of this mistake, stuck with with it anyway and then when off on a totally irreverent comment path. He later corrected the article. This type of journalism blogging is not good for our community. Andrew Wyatt was the lead for Fuduntu. This guy had to go to one of the website sponsors to get some resolution | May 16 13:12 |

| schestowitz | When your opinion is factually wrong or you base your entire article on wrong info and get called on it, you either make a correction or suffer the wrath of your own arrogance. Your readership will continue to mention this arrogance when you continue to support or work with a writer that is guilty of this. Call them trolls if you want, but whats the worst troll? The "knowledgeable" writer or the "average" reader. Its really | May 16 13:12 |

(name has been changed to Cloverleaf Linux) Please don’t spread hate or FUD on re-spins Re-spins are important to the community.
