schestowitz<blockquote>Jun 02 07:10
schestowitz <p>These days, however, Flynn himself concedes that "the IQ gains of the 20th century have faltered." A range of studies using a variety of well-established IQ tests and metrics have found declining scores across Scandinavia, Britain, Germany, France and Australia.Jun 02 07:10
schestowitz </p> <p>Jun 02 07:10
schestowitzDetails vary from study to study and from place to place given the available data. IQ shortfalls in Norway and Denmark appear in longstanding tests of military conscripts, whereas information about France is based on a smaller sample and a different test. But the broad pattern has become clearer: Beginning around the turn of the 21st century, many of the most economically advanced nations began experiencing some kind of decline in IQ. </p>Jun 02 07:10

schestowitz> Jun 02 11:45
schestowitz> and yet there are intelligent, experienced people who do, who see it as a threat to the free software ecosystem. i dont expect you to agree with them (its a fact that most people dont get why thats bad) but i always say-- if you make malicious software under a free license, it takes most of the old guard (seasoned free software developers-- not a condemnation of experienced devs at all, we need those!) a while to look past the license Jun 02 11:45
schestowitzand at the problem.Jun 02 11:45
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:45

schestowitz> how many have to agree that its a devestating problem before we can hold garbee accountable for it?Jun 02 11:46

schestowitz> Jun 02 11:46
schestowitz> systemd is probably the most inconvenient piece of free software in the past 10 years-- other than pulseaudio.Jun 02 11:46

schestowitz> Jun 02 11:46
schestowitz> theres an age-old philosophical/design problem with replacing programming scripts with sophisticated config files that ill skip for now, but learning systemd config files only helps you with systemd.Jun 02 11:46
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:46
schestowitz> the churn of deprecating things that work and are multipurpose with things that are specialised and designed primarily for large corporations or enterprise is not as helpful to free software as the open source world might want us to think.Jun 02 11:46

schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> no, its only part of it.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> systemd is a problem as software, and also politically. again, i dont expect you to agree-- i would point out that enough people (in my opinion) DO agree. denis roio of dyne.org (a fine free software-- not "open source" organisation) agrees.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> the politics of systemd, apart from the software-- are worse than the software.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> unfortunately, the fsf acts on the idea that licensing alone will fix that problem.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> technically, the fsf knows better-- gpl2 didnt fix every political or software problem-- the license itself had vulnerabilities (not unlike software vulnerabilities) that were eventually found (and then exploited) by tivo.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> if software can have vulnerabilities and exploits-- and the gpl (2) can have vulnerabilities and exploits-- then i shouldnt have to explain to someone from brazil of all places, that politics (of a nation, party or organisation) can have vulnerabilities and exploits.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> if you go back and read some of the things former ceos of your company have said about their role in floss, i think its reasonable to say that they have found and exploited vulnerabilities in the politics of free software.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> this doesnt mean that free software is inherently flawed or doomed-- it means that its politics can be exploited to work against free software.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> i believe systemd is part of that-- but you dont need to agree.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> when we get to something else you said, ill refer to this point.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> the fsf is not unaware of such problems-- open source (from its inception) has truly been all about exploiting vulnerabilities in free software politics. as much as free software "hacks" the entire concept of proprietary software, open source "hacks" free software and has done an exceptional job of selling off our efforts to companies like microsoft.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> (i predicted microsoft would buy red hat immediately after they took over github. ibm got them instead, but microsoft was also considered as a buyer.)Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> microsofts goal is clearly to take what we call "gnu" and open source calls "linux" and turn it into azure.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> and anything that isnt necessary or beneficial to azure is going to suffer. even the way the kernel is maintained is going to change, when gkh takes over. thats not going to be good.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz>> It's not that I don't share the perception that there's a corporate conspiracy, mind you.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> the real problem is not that the fsf is incapable of recognising problems so long as the problem "has the right license."Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> the real problem is how stubborn and slow it is to do so-- as if (and this is just metaphorical) rms doesnt want admit that the licensing alone isnt enough to keep things free.Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> again i dont mean that literally-- i think hes one of the smartest people alive and i know if i put that to him he would say "thats not true."Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:47
schestowitz> but everyone has their biases and things they are in denial about. RARE INDEED is a person with as much integrity as rms, i would compare him to einstein in that regard. but the best of humanity have faults (or make mistakes) that take a long time to realise and resolve.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> im not saying he cant find political problems that are not fixed by licenses. im not saying he is reluctant to admit what he knows to be true.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> but he could be slow to realise those problems sometimes, even if overall he is the world expert.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> even einstein was probably wrong about string theory, and he turned more of physics on its head than any other person (except perhaps newton.)Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> i warn people not to get trapped by the idea that fixing systemd will fix everything, because there is a bigger picture-- i think systemd is the largest piece of that puzzle so far (and if you think there is a conspiracy, i defy you to tell me what piece of the puzzle is larger than systemd.)Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> the patent agreements and purchase of github were huge steps backwards. but imo debian has flailed (not failed) since systemd was dropped on it.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> i cant even recommend it to people, it lacks the quality and security of previous versions of debian.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz>> It's just that I don't quite see that he's part of it, and you haven't given me anything to change that.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> my goal was not to convince you, and it never will be.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> my hope is to get you to understand where im coming from with this-- not to agree with my perspective, but to know what it is.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> i started the free media alliance for several reasons:Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> 1. to lobby the fsf on matters i think are important enough for them to change position about, which they have failed to take into sufficient considerationJun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> this isnt limited to systemd. i think their slow adoption of free culture (a separate issue from free software, i understand) is deeply unfortunate. i am intimately aware (for many years now) of the details about stallmans position on this.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> 2. to promote the matters with or without the fsfJun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> imo we will not have a future with software freedom unless we promote free hardware as well. intel has too much power, amd isnt always (if ever) better, im THRILLED about "ryf" but i consider it just a first step on the way towards what we really need-- free hardware takes longer than free sw, but i think it will be vital.Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> if it will be vital, why not make it a key component now?Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:48
schestowitz> so i promote free software, free culture and free hardware together.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i consider the arguments against doing that to be superficial and almost fallacious.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> but i always welcome the fsf to take these matters (not just systemd) more seriously.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> im also very, very happy that libreplanet is using cc by-sa for their videos.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> 3. to create a backup plan for free software if the fsf failsJun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i dont know if the fsf will be better without rms than apple is without jobs.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i probably feel more or less the way rms does about steve jobs. im not a fan.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> but apple without jobs isnt apple.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> will the fsf without rms truly be the fsf?Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i encourage people to not only think about who could ever replace rms (because there is only one of him, and thats a single point of failure) but i also encourage people to try to BE rms.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> of course no one can do that-- but look at christianity.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i am not an atheist like rms, i am agnostic. i think there is merit in religion, so long as we avoid extremism.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> though i am very passionately agnostic-- i dont think religion should be forced onto anybody. it must remain a choice. im against theocracy and pressuring people to believe such things.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> but take for example, the plague of christianity.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i do not consider it a negative, i consider it a collection of good and bad things.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> but politically speaking, i think it would be better for people to try to emulate their highest heroes than simply worship or parrot them.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i think it would be better for free software advocates to EMULATE rms than simply worship or parrot him.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> and i know hes against religion and wants people to think for themselves.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> but i would encourage people to be an army of people inspired by rms, rather than an army of people repeating him word for word.Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:49
schestowitz> i think there is too much parroting in free software-- not enough inspiration.Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> and when rms retires, where will growth come from?Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> for nearly a decade i have considered ben mako hill the most likely person to take over.Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> but better than one ben mako hill would be 20 or 50 or 100 people like him.Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> 100 people innovating free software as a concept is better than 100 parrots. its more scientific.Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> of course open source would like 100 people with no direction at all. i do think free software needs leadership, and open source only leads people to subjugation by (sociopathic) monopolies.Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> Jun 02 11:50
schestowitz> but free software also needs true debate. debate doesnt come from everyone agreeing-- it comes from people hashing out differences. i think the fsf (and the free software movement) ought to consider that a little more than i think it really does. ive felt that way year after year, and i have trouble finding the honest and open debate that i think is necessary. mostly i find people repeating things ive heard year after year, and hoping Jun 02 11:50
schestowitzor insisting that is all that is necessary.Jun 02 11:50

schestowitzYesterday my friend Alex posted this wonderful reply here to a new user that signed up on Kawen Space that describes some popular servers they are going to run into. You can read that post here. It has inspired me to write my own much longer guide/recommendations to all of the servers I am familiar with. This list will be in alphabetical order by instance name and contain only my own opinions. There will be a piece on Misskey and single-Jun 03 17:46

schestowitzBefore we begin, if you really are new to the fedi you should first take a look at this wiki of the fediverse's history created by Bob MottramJun 03 17:46
schestowitzFor each entry I will recommend a few prolific users from the instance I recommend checking out. There is always more users I could mention on these servers but I simply can't list everybody. I'm sorry if you don't get included and feel left out. All comments made about people in this post are only my opinion. I follow most of the people I mention, but not all of them. So let's begin:Jun 03 17:47
schestowitzAnime WebsiteJun 03 17:47
schestowitzThis is a well moderated instance with one of the more transparent blocking practices there is among Pleroma instances. Sometimes the admin says something spicy and is likely why other instances might block this one but this instance is well structured with fair rules. A new user would be happy here.Jun 03 17:47

schestowitzBSD Dot MoeJun 03 17:47
schestowitzThis is a general purpose Pleroma server that moderates behavior, not speech. So you can talk shit but you can't be a shit. A good instance overall.Jun 03 17:47

schestowitz@nether@bsd.moe - The admin of the instance.Jun 03 17:47
schestowitz@saga@bsd.moe - A shitposter, also fucking hilarious.Jun 03 17:47
schestowitz@cvcvcv@bsd.moe - The man, the myth, the legend of edgeposting. Hasn't posted in a month but was known for side-splitting all caps rants that go further beyond anything a facebook boomer is capable of. These posts are not for the faint of heart and are riddled with nonsense and profanity, but it's honestly hilarious. If you've ever had a moment at a family gathering when a grandparent or great grandparent said some really raunchy shit at Jun 03 17:47

schestowitzCybre SpaceJun 03 17:47
schestowitzDo not join this instance. This instance locks registrations behind a donation paywall. Occasionally they will open registrations for free but not often. They also block many instances. You are far better off self hosting your own instance than paying to be on this one. Also the public timeline is so slow on this instance these days it inspired one of its users to write this hilarious articleJun 03 17:47

schestowitzNot to be confused with Cybre Space. This server is closed to registrations but if you ask the admin nicely he might let you in. On the side the admin is working on their own ActivityPub implementation in rust called Kibou and that is really neat.Jun 03 17:47

schestowitzehjovan.comJun 03 17:47
schestowitzThis is a recent instance but worth talking about. This is some influencer guy from Twitter that setup a mastodon server thinking it was like private twitter. Didn't know anything about federation and was surpised other people could see him and his fans posts. They are normies but ultimately harmless. Some of their posts are even, dare I say... funny.Jun 03 17:47
schestowitzWho to follow:Jun 03 17:47
schestowitzI guess the admin @jovan@ehjovan.com. This instance opened like a day or two ago it's too early to highlight any standout posters. If twitter humor is your thing, you'll find it here. Maybe don't sign up here but don't shun these people. The Fedi is for everyone.Jun 03 17:47
schestowitzFosstodonJun 03 17:47
schestowitzThis is a well intentioned Mastodon instance that does not disclose its blocklist. It may not have one, but they never reply to my posts so I am assuming they do. If you don't join a naughty server they will probably federate with you just fine. If you like open source stuff, you might enjoy the users there. They do take donations but they thankfully do not lock signups behind a paywall. Signup at your own discretion.Jun 03 17:47

schestowitzFree Speech ExtremistJun 03 17:48
schestowitzThis is a very controversial instance but is ultimately harmless. I'd like to take this opportunity to explain something I've posted about on fedi before. This server is a prime example about how having a strong active user base will propel an instance into prosperity. FSE may not be the biggest instance on the fedi, but there are enough active users that if they broke federation tomorrow, or got blocked by literally everyone, then they Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzwould probably still have a good time talking amongst themselves (the opposite of mastodon.xyz). The admin is a very good person who is committed to protecting all speech of his users. Even those which he disagrees with, and even the speech of dumb edgeposters who don't actually have an intelligent thought. This makes the public timeline of FSE a tornado of competing ideas, hardened by constant debate and re-evaluation. Some people might Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzfind such an environment too hostile to enjoy, but if you like debate and aren't afraid of mean words you will probably have a good time here regardless of what your personal politics are.Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzA strong local timeline is not to be confused with a large server. Even on major mastodon servers with thousands of active users you can still feel isolated. While on a server like FSE every post you make is an invitation to debate and discuss your ideas. This is why its a running joke that every post on FSE is a potential hellthread. As everyone on that server is interested in debate and discussion of their ideas so their popular threads Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzgrow exponentially when they do grow.Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzWho to follow:Jun 03 17:48
schestowitz@p@freespeechextremist.com - this is the admin. I'm only going to mention him because there are so many active users on FSE I couldn't just pick a few. You either block FSE, watch FSE, or dive in to their hellthreads. If you aren't self hosting or joining specific servers FSE may be blocked for you so watch out for that if engaging with these people is what you are looking for (or not looking for).Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzFreeradical ZoneJun 03 17:48
schestowitzPretty much the same thing as Liberdon, but liberal instead of libertarian. I know of a user that was banned from this server from posting things that are really out of line with the politics of the admin (assuming they weren't lying to me), but if you wanna be political on fedi, and you're liberal, this server might work out for you. It does not block very many servers, which is rare for Mastodon servers in general.Jun 03 17:48
schestowitzWho to follow:Jun 03 17:48
schestowitz@tek@freeradical.zone - The admin. Sometimes posts interesting stories from his travels. He doesn't reply to my posts anymore. I didn't think he was a bad guy or anything though.Jun 03 17:48

I don't think I've ever had a bad time talking with anybody from this server. This is a top choice for someone new to the fedi that isn't an edgeposter.

schestowitzLALL - LetsAllLoveLainJun 03 17:48
schestowitzThis instance is a moderated instance that does not participate in any instance blocks. So you have the vision of Shitposter Club with the moderation of the likes of Pleroma Site. This instance is run by two popular admins @essie@letsalllovela.in and @crushv@letsalllovela.in. It is also home to several great users. I am pretty sure the domain name is a reference to Lain the anime character, and not Lain the Pleroma guy, though everyone is Jun 03 17:48

schestowitzThis is a sort of black sheep of mastodon servers. This is a political server of the libertarian/ancap/anarchy/whatever variety. If you like that and want to talk about that, then maybe you'll like this server. They pop up in my feed every once in a while.Jun 03 17:48

schestowitzMastodon SocialJun 03 17:49
schestowitzMastodon Social is the flagship instance for the Mastodon project. The BDFL of Mastodon - @Gargron@mastodon.social once made the righteous decision to close registrations for this instance to encourage people to distribute themselves among the fediverse to strengthen federation. He did a 180 on this and has reopened registrations several times, and they are currently open today. Mastodon was covered by the mainstream media around 2017 and Jun 03 17:49
schestowitzmost of the journalists did not understand the concept of federation and would talk about Mastodon the software as Mastodon Social the website interchangeably. This has led to many people signing up on Mastodon Social as their first instance and getting a skewed view of the fediverse. Gargron publishes a table of instances Mastodon Social blocks however there is nothing in the software that exposes the blocks. So this table could be out Jun 03 17:49

schestowitzThis is a Mastodon instance run by the the No Agenda podcast. This is a popular sponsor-less podcast that runs entirely on donations by the fans. They are blocked in a lot of places because they are known to talk shit about the American right-wing and the American left-wing politics and some people don't like that. If you are a fan of the show, you'll fit right in. They appear to handle account sign up off-site and I have no idea what you Jun 03 17:50

schestowitzThis Mastodon instance is closed to registrations but the admin has a patreon. Looking at the admins recent posts you can contact them for an invite for free so there is no paywall, just some manual vetting, which is fine.

However all the Jun 03 17:50

schestowitzThis is a Pleroma instance run by @kaniini@pleroma.site who is a major contributor to the Pleroma project. I personally enjoy Kaniini's posts but there is a sizable group of Pleroma users that don't. I won't go into detail on the motivations behind the haters because most of it is either bullshit or shit that's already been apologized for. Point is most of the threads Kaniini gets into can get spicy for one reason or another.Jun 03 17:50
schestowitzComments on the admin aside, Pleroma Site is a great example of what a Pleroma instance should be. While Pleroma servers expose who they are blocking, muting, etc via their Nodeinfo (which is easily seen on fediverse.network this instance keeps notes on who it blocks and why on a seperate webpage on the site. Each block has a rationale, which is cool. This is a general use instance with very fair moderation rules. I had an alt account on Jun 03 17:50

schestowitzShitposter ClubJun 03 17:50
schestowitzShitposter Club is my current (and likely final) home instance. This is where you can find my main account @dielan@shitposter.club. This instance has a deep lore as it was once a GNU Social instance that was established a very long time ago. This lore predates my arrival to the fediverse in 2017 and is only partially covered in Bob's wiki I linked at the top of this post so I will refer you an article written by a longtime SPC user, Robek:Jun 03 17:51
schestowitz What is GNU social and is Mastodon Social a "Twitter Clone"Jun 03 17:51
schestowitztl;dr - there were multiple twitter exoduses around 2014 and 2015 that drove people to the fedi, which were a diverse bunch and at odds with the techo-hippie-socialist types that exclusively used GNU Social before their arrival. Rather than freaking out, these kind hippies taught the newcomers how to set up their own instances, so they would not take up space on the existing ones and they could then just block the new instances if desired.Jun 03 17:51
schestowitz SPC is one such server that was established in this era.Jun 03 17:51
schestowitzOther than that SPC eventually left GNU Social behind and migrated to Pleroma (the only GNU Social server to successfully do this) which has been a big boon for shitposting as we can use modern mobile apps with the site now. SPC is an instance that does not block any other instance (but does try to clean up its TWKN a little bit with some timeline removals) and typically does not moderate the speech of its users. You can say some spicy Jun 03 17:51
schestowitzshit, but to get moderated off the server you have to actually be a shit. This causes the occasional edgeposter to join us and spout some crazy nonsense but they usually get bored with the lack of a response from the fedi and from the admin and leave just as fast as they arrived. This is a very chill server and I strongly recommend it.Jun 03 17:51

schestowitzThis is an instance that was also set up during the early twitter exoduses that brought diverse opinions into the fedi. Said exoduses and a brief history of GNU Social can be read here. When compared to Shitposter Club, GNU/Smug is a lot more edgy. The admin frequently edgeposts ironic memes and is not afraid to call out anybody that doesn't like it. Also similar to SPC GNU/Smug switched from GNU Social to Pleroma but they did not do a Jun 03 17:51
schestowitzmigration, the admin simply deleted the old GNU Social instance outright. This has caused some former users to become disgruntled and stir up drama, but in general nobody cares.

schestowitzSingle User Instances, and MisskeyJun 03 17:52
schestowitzI'm not actually going to list single user instances but instead explain what they are. One of the perks of the Pleroma project is that it takes very few resources to run. This makes it ideal for "self hosting" where you are the admin of your own server and also its only user. While you do surrender the public timeline (as it will only contain you) it does give you complete power over your federation. Some people on these kinds of Jun 03 17:52
schestowitzinstances are malicious - and as their own admin can create multiple accounts to get through your blocks to harass you. The solution is to just block their instance at your user level, or have your admin do it for the whole instance. Nobody wants to put up with that. Most single user instances are not malicious, so don't worry when you come across one. You just have to judge them case-by-case.Jun 03 17:52
schestowitzAs for Misskey this is an ActivityPub implementation that is written and maintained by non English speakers. This attracts a majority non English speaking audience. The software is really cool and occasionally you'll see English speaking users join these Misskey instances but you should treat them as though they are single user instances as you will likely not see anyone else from those instances. So I won't be listing any instances as Jun 03 17:52

acer-boxthere was no massacre on the tiananmen square, the killings happened all over the city while the students camping on the square were allowed to leave unharmed since they, unlike those demanding free unions and real workers rights, posed no immediate threat to the communist party. the free unionists on the other hand were jailed or executed in the aftermath of the revolt. of course, unions are not as cool as rebellious students wanting "Jun 03 19:44

schestowitz9:30 PM EDTLXer's spread of story topics is very large, so you might not expect the kind of focused discussion you'd get on a narrower forum. Maybe LXer visitors (like me, for example) mainly come to the site for its variety, and on-click to see linked articles of interest from the big smorgasbord on offer. Jun 05 15:42
schestowitzThere's also the fact that LXer stories are "syndicated" to a lot of other Linux sites. This means someone who on-clicks from Linux site A might only notice LXer in passing, en route from A to the featured story. Why discuss on LXer?Jun 05 15:42
schestowitzYes, I *would* like to see an article about how difficult it would be to get Linux to install on the SD card in a Dell Latitude 11 3000 laptop, and I did already read the opensource.com "primer" and had a quick glance at the Dell Precision article, but what's to discuss?Jun 05 15:42

schestowitzI guess it's been a year since I had a good (programming) idea. I still do my exercises with the Collatz sequence (latest version is FreeBASIC, but I've also done it in Forth, Lisp, C, Ada, Bash, Smalltalk, assembly, S-Lang, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran, Lua, Python, Perl... you get the idea).

schestowitzI suppose I fit into that category as well. I've had good intentions and have contributed full length articles to LXer in the past, but not so much in the last year or two. I realize that LXer is a non-commercial community site, and it is the sum of the contributions made by its community members that make the site what it is. The more everyone contributes, the better the community.Jun 05 15:43

schestowitz<blockquote>Jun 05 22:47
schestowitz <p> Today, WeChat has more than one billion monthly active users, and it's effectively the operating system of Chinese society. With his shift to a "Privacy-Focused Vision for Social Networking", Zuckerberg evidently aspires to turning Facebook into the operating system for everywhere else.Jun 05 22:47
schestowitz </p> <p>Jun 05 22:47
schestowitzThat is a huge problem for open source. Even though Linux underlies the billions of Android phones in use today, there is precious little sign of free software running on them. As people start to install Facebook Mini Programs—or whatever Zuckerberg decides to call them—on Facebook, running on Android, the fact that everything depends on Linux becomes even more irrelevant. Whether the new Mini Programs are open source or not, Facebook'Jun 05 22:47
schestowitzs platform certainly won't be, no matter how much Zuckerberg loves free software. Facebook will become the new Windows, with the difference that swapping in GNU/Linux instead of Windows is straightforward; doing the same with Facebook's new platform, will not be.  </p>Jun 05 22:48
schestowitz <p> The community could doubtless come up with a better Facebook than Facebook—after all, the open-source world has some of the best coders around, and they love a challenge. It probably would be a distributed, federated system with privacy and security built in. But the technical details really don't matter here. The hard part is not crafting a better Facebook, but convincing people to use it. Network effects make breaking Facebook's Jun 05 22:48
schestowitzgrip on social media incredibly hard. Once Zuckerberg has established Facebook as a complete platform, and people use it routinely and reflexively all the time they are awake, it will be even harder. What role will open source have then? </p>Jun 05 22:48

schestowitz <p>Speigel Online reported last week on comments by Germany’s Interior Minister Horst Seehofer proposing greater governmental access to end-to-end encrypted communications, such as those by WhatsApp and Telegram. While his comments represent merely one lawmaker's thoughts and the encryption community has vehemently objected to encryption backdoors and client application access, the reality is that at its annual conference earlier this Jun 07 05:22
schestowitzmonth, Facebook previewed all of the necessary infrastructure to make Germany’s vision a reality and even alluded to the very issue of how Facebook’s own business needs present it with the need to be able to covertly access content directly from users’ devices that have been protected through end-to-end encryption. Could Germany’s backdoor vision be closer that we might imagine? </p>Jun 07 05:22

schestowitz"Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzThe first question about clarity should be dismissed at once, and in this respect that the referral is not even admissible. After G 3/14, clarity should not enter opposition through the backdoor. Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzOn the other hand, if a claim is truly unclear, then the broadest possible interpretation of an unclear feature can be adopted, and there is a good chance that in view of the breadth of the claim that it will either lack novelty or inventive step. Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzAs the first question might be not admissible, the incident question on the location of the Boards could as well be deemed not admissible.Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzIf it is deemed admissible, then the two questions should be dismissed. Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzOn the other hand, the last question is not as futile as it looks at a glance. I am aware about the situation between The Hague and Rijswijk for the seat of the former DG1, but here the question has to be seen in trying to get read of the forced transfer of the BA to a suburb of Munich. Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzThis transfer was wished by the former president of the EPO who was incensed that the EBA would not deliver a decision rubber stamping and justifying his disdain for the separation of powers.Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzIf you are of the opinion that the time of the EBA should be spent on more important issues, why has the EBA be forced to deal with such a case, simply because an alumni of a French high school wanted it?Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzIn view of the fact that the designation of the members of the EBA is one of the prerogatives of the chairman of the BA, one can expect that numerous “external members” of the EBA will be designated. Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzBy the way, the new structure of the BA gives them even less independence with respect to the previous one, in spite of what has been said here and there. Jun 07 06:08
schestowitzThere are no amicus curiae briefs yet, but the position of the President is availableJun 07 06:08

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-register.epo.org | European Patent RegisterJun 07 06:08
schestowitzNeedless to say that for the President, Art 6(2) EPC allows the BA to be located in Haar, exactly for the same reasons as when it is question of The Hague, it is actually Rijswijk which is meant. Jun 07 06:09
schestowitzThe President wants a reply to all the questions. Non-admissibility of the referral is not an option for him.Jun 07 06:09

schestowitzAt the moment, software patents face unprecedented legal uncertainty in the United States' courts; by asserting such patents against a suspected (merely accuse) party not only are you at risk of losing these patents; in some cases you're forced to then pay all the legal expenses of the accused.

schestowitzBefore responding to Neil I want to pass it through you as well. Attached are the items which are associated with "Media Browser running very slowly" (last update created 31/05/2019 11:40; ticket xxxxx). This ticket is no longer about the media browser but about migration to WordPress or setup of WordPress alongside the existing setup. I think Drupal just causes them issues and they want to explore something else.Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzI believe cost estimates would be required too. That would mean management. How many hours required? It's not clear yet. Hence I contact you. We might wish to discuss with them further before giving a quote.Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzI've done WordPress since 2004 and have built dozens of WordPress sites since. I work with WordPress (back end and front end) every day and was involved in the core development in the early days of the project. I know not only the core but also lots of themes, extensions et cetera, but it is not clear what the client wants WordPress used for, or put another way, the nature of the use. I guess they want internal information circulated Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzusing WordPress and staff to be able to post there (text and files).Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzWordPress is well supported on Debian GNU/Linux and derivatives such as Ubuntu. They have a Long Term Support (LTS) releases of WordPress, so keeping it patched is usually a breeze. WordPress typically goes with a MySQL database and I know how to maintain/repair these kinds of database, having done so for a decade and a half. So that's not a problem.Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzThe attached documents specify ~30 concurrent users and based on the hardware specs it should not be difficult for the server to cope. It could probably deal with a few hundreds of concurrent users.Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzThe hardware cost (per annum) seems overinflated to me, but I guess that depends on the supplier. In theory they could run a WordPress site on a  virtual machine, so a dedicated server seems like a luxury.Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzIf the client intends to migrate a lot of content from Drupal to WordPress, then the job will be big (shades of CNELM, a past client). If they want a new site set up (and maybe accommodated with content... or content migrated by their staff manually), then we might want to do only their design. Setup of WordPress itself is very simple (for a skilled person). I could do so in less than an hour. On a bare metal server you just need to Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzinstall a distribution like Debian Stable, then apt-get the database/php/apache (LAMP), then wordpress, then configure the database and WordPress itself, having done all the network configurations, which quite a few of us know or can cope with (the client may need to allocate an IP address to it).Jun 08 08:00
schestowitzThey mention a staff directory or separate server for credentials/access, e.g. LDAP. I'm not too familiar with how it's joined into WordPress (no experience anyway), but it sounds like something our colleagues are good at (xxxx, for instance, did lots of work on LDAP before).Jun 08 08:00
