schestowitzIt is interesting to see that the IPOS has thought about an insurance, at least for legal fees, for innovators or better what can be called SMEs.Jun 24 04:53
schestowitzA while ago, in order to make the UPC more palatable to SMEs, the EU Commission (or was it another institution) launched the idea of a litigation insurance for SMEs. Dust has gathered and it seems that the idea of such an insurance is as dead as the UPC appears to be dead. Jun 24 04:53
schestowitzNot only are the court fees beyond reach for SMEs, and if they lose their case, they will be heavily burdened in spite of the ceilings foreseen. Jun 24 04:53
schestowitzWithout such an insurance, the UPC is of no interest to SMEs in spite of all contrary messages uttered by the EPO or the EUIPO. Jun 24 04:53

schestowitz              <p>Now, the world has changed. Our open source code may end up being labeled as enabling a “foreign adversary”. I never suspected that I could end up on the “wrong side” of politics by being a staunch advocate of open source, but here I am. My open source mission is to empower people to be technologically independent; to know that technology is not magic, so that nobody will ever be a slave to technology. This is Jun 24 06:09
schestowitztrue even if that means resisting my own government. The erosion of freedom starts with restricting access to “foreign adversaries”, and ends with the government arbitrarily picking politically convenient winners and losers to participate in the open source ecosystem.Jun 24 06:09

schestowitzNow that the US is carpet-bombing Huawei’s supply chain, I fear there is no turning back. The language already written into EO13873 sets the stage to threaten open source as a whole by drawing geopolitical and national security borders over otherwise non-discriminatory development efforts. While I still hold hope that the trade war could de-escalate, the proliferation and stockpiling of powerful anti-trade weapons like EO13873 is Jun 24 06:09
schestowitzworrisome. Now is the time to raise awareness of the threat this poses to the open source world, so that we can prepare and come together to protect the freedoms we cherish the most.Jun 24 06:09

schestowitzfull disclosure, i have a package in refracta. im on reasonably good terms with its lead dev (who is also in charge of devuan live.)Jun 24 19:06
schestowitzbut even before all that, i noticed that refracta took care of things sooner (and in my opinion, better) than devuan managed to.Jun 24 19:06
schestowitzof course, refracta uses the devuan repos, and so would i (most likely) if i used refracta. and refracta is made from devuan as well. but its like saying “debian or ubuntu?” there was a time many years ago, when my answer was ubuntu. then it was debian. and then sadly, it wasnt. i also liked gnuinos, (devuan based) but as far as i know that one is basically abandoned.

schestowitzoversimplification based on a metric (distrowatch ranking) that is known to be useless for a lot of arguments from flimsy correlation.Jun 24 19:07
schestowitzthere are plenty of reasons to be concerned about devuan. one is that legitimate critiques of devuan within its community are dealt with via the same kind of arrogance that destroyed debian and required devuan to be developed in the first place.Jun 24 19:07
schestowitzthis is not addressed much publically. the user community there is more like a hostage crisis or cult of personality than a community.Jun 24 19:07
schestowitzive talked with certain people from devuan about this, but there doesnt seem to be anything that can be done.Jun 24 19:07
schestowitzi wont name names. but if people realised how far up the problems go (or alternatively, how far up the stifled criticism goes) i think the gnu/linux communities would have a much clearer idea how dramatic and damaging this problem is for the future of devuan. i dont mean it has no future, i mean it has far less of one. basically, if there is a problem with devuan-- it doesnt matter who you are. because vital feedback necessary to improve Jun 24 19:07
schestowitzthe project is not going to get through the defense grid, even from the inside. the developers are not the problem. the community has the wagons circled around devuan and wont let critical users or anybody else into the circle. its becoming a “safespace.”-- which is exactly the change in debians community that allowed it to fail and make the worst decisions in its history.Jun 24 19:07

schestowitzit seems like you are projecting your expectations and way of thinking onto me. being aware that I just see parts of what is going on, I simply communicated my observation, that a lot of reporting over the years has changed from talking about how well things work or not, how usefull they are or not, how easy they are to maintain or not etc. to how they look and feel and that imho this is part of creating this current environment. though Jun 24 19:07

schestowitzI recently upgraded a 32 bits, 2005 laptop to XUbuntu 18.04. It’s still usable, but barely. The chance that this machine will still be usable after 2023 is vanishingly small, frankly.

schestowitzit is about every distro (including the free software foundations former flagship distro, trisquel) that is downstream of ubuntu. many of which are still lightweight enough to run (also servers running on ubuntu.) you have a point that the clock wont run out until 2023. but this is premature. ubuntu is not just a desktop distro, even if that is what it is best known for.Jun 24 19:12

schestowitz> Jun 24 20:15

schestowitz> Jun 24 20:15
schestowitz> but the organisation is stronger from people participating. it still represents multiple people when the membership is low, it represents more people when the membership is higher. it tries to be a megaphone for a movement-- a megaphone that is needed.Jun 24 20:15
schestowitz> Jun 24 20:15
schestowitz> it is not democratic. it is also certainly grassroots. but if people wanted to make their own 501c non-profit organisation based on it, theres nothing stopping them. if they contributed to the free software/culture/hardware movement, we would certainly talk to them.Jun 24 20:15
schestowitz> Jun 24 20:15

schestowitz> Jun 24 20:15
schestowitz> collaboration does not mean agreement. it doesnt mean we pretend everything is ok if theres a problem. if some open source people wanted to join the alliance, theyre free to do so. the alliance still reports on everything open source does wrong-- because open source has had decades to clean up its act-- and all its done is proven itself to be the thing perens warned us about when he resigned from osi in 1999.Jun 24 20:15

schestowitzThere is no need to change very much in the site but rather to profile its performance to see if we can lower the strain on the server. Alternatively, we can detect the source of the problem, as in option (1). This in its own right can slow down the site a little.Jun 25 01:06

schestowitzThis review aims to update the rules on how online services, such as social media platforms, should or should not delete or block illegal and “harmful” content. A reform might also bring changes to how online services could be held liable when such content is not taken down.

schestowitz11:41 AM EDT"A research report issued late last month by Manalo LLP, a London-based firm that provides research to investors around mergers and acquisitions, concluded that from an antitrust point of view, the proposed deal "has presented a degree of complexity due to the parties' long-standing vertical relationships." It contended that IBM and Red Hat act more as partners than competitors and collaborate closely on Linux.Jun 25 18:56
schestowitzThe report noted that investigators could "probe whether IBM has enough incentive to shift or shape" their vertical relationship in a way that later on could prove anticompetitive. One possibility could be IBM holding up delivery to competitors of key software offerings or crippling compatibility with competitors' products.Jun 25 18:57

schestowitzThe level of gobbledygook managerial speech at the EPO has been increasing continuously. It reaches some heights one could not dream off in the past, but here reality is above fiction.Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzFor the AC this sounds well thought of, and will pass without any problem. I take bets that the new tenant of the 10th floor will be lauded for coming up with such drivel.Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzThe main reason for giving only limited time contracts to examiners is to keep them at the mercy of management. This is see-through. If examiners might be fired after 5 or 10 years, they will be very careful whether they will adhere to a union or to go on strike.Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzWith only offering 5 years contracts to examiners, the EPO will not attract the best people it could attract. Anybody having started its career in its home country will think twice before leaving it, and all the national security system going with it to come into a system in which he will lose any connection with the latter, and having the perspective to be on the dole after 5 or 10 years. It will only be interesting for mercenaries in Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzpursuit of an adventure, preferably whilst they still are single.Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzEven with those who still will come, the net result is that there will be a fluctuating examiner work force. The side effect of this is that with a fluctuating work force, the quality will continue to degrade. First because the training time has been reduced to 2 years, and for any examiner leaving before or with 5 years, the training investment will have been in vain. Second there will be no continuity. We all have witnessed the Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzappalling quality in the US for precisely this reason.Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzAs I do not know any firm of patent attorneys showing its representatives, I also do not know any giving only a 5 years contract to its newcomers. There might be a clause not to leave immediately after being successful at the EQE, but this seems nothing abnormal, if the training investment should not have been in vain.Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzThe particularity of the work of an examiner/representative does not make it suitable to play “big/modern” manager. What might be valid in a company working for projects limited in time is certainly not valid at the EPO. It would be interesting if all countries having examiners offer those only time limited contracts to start with. Has this question ever be raised at the AC?Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzThat nowadays job security is not any longer guaranteed is a matter of fact, but the EPO is one employer who does not need to exaggerate in this behaviour. There is no profit to be made as such, but for incentives for the upper management. The more vicious, the more bonus. Why has the EPO gone down to such a level?Jun 28 20:58
schestowitzIf one would push the EPO down the drain, one would not act differently as the present “management”.Jun 28 20:58

schestowitzHow to bring my buddies from Alicante in the EPO. A VP was not enough, I also needed some PDs from there. Those having worked in the EPO IT department in the past are all daft, but as I could not fire them all at once, I gave those jobs and grades ad personam.Jun 29 21:15
