| schestowitz | Microsoft's tactics against GNU/Linux have not changed much in two decades, they're just framed differently, nowadays the attacks are masqueraded as friendship and proxies are used more than before. So as a fresh look at how these established tactics are used currently to attack Free Software, a guest poster at TechRights has summarized them in a ten-chapter handbook, aptly named A Handbook for Destroying the Free Software Movement. The first | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | two chapters cover what Microsoft is now doing through GitHub, licensing, Azure, Visual Studio, Vista10, and its other components foisted on developers. Other chapters cover manipulation of media coverage, OEM lock-in, use of attack proxies, and software patents. Most of all, these tactics have stayed true to the plans outlined over 20 years ago in the Halloween Documents. | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Introduction | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 01: Know your enemies– Act like a friend | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 02: Work with the system– Use OEMs and your legal team | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 03: Playing the victim– Show the world that too much freedom hurts development | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 04: You get what you pay for– Getting skeptics to work for you | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 05: Open Source Judo– How to bribe the moderates to your side | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 06: Damning with faint praise– Take the right examples of free software and exploit them for everything | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 07: Patent War– Use low-quality patents to prove that all software rips off your company | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 08: A foot in the door– how to train sympathetic developers and infiltrate other projects | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 09: Ownership through Branding– Change the names, and change the world | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Chapter 10: Moving forward– Getting the best results from Open source with your monopoly | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | It's written a bit tongue in cheek from Microsoft's perspective. Some material is drawn from Comes v Microsoft (aka The Iowa Case) and, as mentioned, the leaked internal memos known as the Halloween Documents. | Jun 16 18:18 |

| schestowitz | "Yet another Hit Piece from the Editors' Darling, Canopic Jug. While so many VERY POSITIVE stories get rejected. Sad!!!!" | Jun 16 18:19 |
| schestowitz | "(cont) If the Editors like you, no need to follow so called Submission Guidelines. "Be neutral and factual in both Subject and Summary. You can wait until the article is posted or, if you must, include your opinion clearly marked as opinion at the end of the Summary." Bullshit!!!!" | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | Skimmed through Chapter 7. No proof of anything, no citations of Microsoft's actual current behaviors, only innuendo and quoted references from the 21 year old Halloween Documents. So no, not established tactics currently attacking free software, only what was known two decades ago. Which doesn't mean that what's said isn't true, only that there is no proof of it. Perhaps Chapter 11 should be, "Trick people by writing a whole bunch of things | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | with no actual proof that the behaviors are current so that they can be safely ignored by anyone who actually wants evidence." | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | Personally, I believe that Microsoft has established much better (and scarier) tactics than these in the intervening years, such that they no longer have to extinguish free software. To the contrary, their current strategy if anything is, "embrace, exceed, ignore." But who wants to waste all that time actually assembling proof and gaining access to sources? (Just for starters, don't you think countries hostile to the U.S. would have managed | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | to get Wikileaks to publish more damning documents by now if they existed in digital from? Like I said, changed and sharper tactics such that Halloween Documents are no longer produced because they're unnecessary.) | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | "If you must look at the "story." Start with Introduction. "Introduction of a new satirical ‘handbook’ published exclusively here (by a pseudonymous reader)." In other words, FAKE NEWS!!!!" | Jun 16 18:20 |
| schestowitz | "Hey, Donald, I hear a real billionaire is looking for you. His name is Paul Allen. Why don't you go find him?" | Jun 16 18:20 |

| schestowitz | Maybe so, but it gave me a good flashback back to the SCO days when Microsoft got BTFO and Linux was actually on the rise and becoming more usable as a desktop OS. Ubuntu from around 2007 to 2010 appeared to be unstoppable and every day it looked like it was going to crush Windows as a dominant desktop OS. | Jun 16 18:22 |
| schestowitz | Then, for some reason, Ubuntu backed down. It turned a usable Windows-like system into Macfag shit with everything useful hidden by default or moved somewhere else and a horrible new color scheme, and we all know people who don't actually buy MacFag shit don't like MacFag shit. Then they crippled Compiz-fusion so that it was impossible to show that a beat-up 10 year old laptop could have better graphical effects than a brand new Mac. | Jun 16 18:22 |
| schestowitz | I'm still bitter about all that, fucking bastards. | Jun 16 18:22 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 18:22 |
| schestowitz | "Flashbacks are nice, but it would be great to have their actions as a timeline. That way we can remember what they did to their competitors -> how they spun it -> why the current release sucks -> why the new release will be better -> lather, rinse, discharge microplastics into the environment -> repeat, and at exactly which points we were naive enough to believe them, until we stopped." | Jun 16 18:22 |
| schestowitz | "So much hasn't changed. We're a mixed development shop: Windows10 and Ubuntu, and neither is perfect, but I see the Windows devs on the same f-ing treadmill that I was running back in the 90s, it never stops. When I finish something in Ubuntu, it stays finished. And, when there's a problem in Ubuntu, even the Windows guys can dig into the logs, find the problem, find the diagnosis on the web in 30 minutes or less, and have a solid fix plan. | Jun 16 18:22 |
| schestowitz | On the Microsoft side, when shit breaks down or doesn't perform as expected it's denial and obfuscation city: maybe you need to buy a better library? That's unsupported. This is the new behavior, maybe you should migrate your codebase to the new toolset?" | Jun 16 18:22 |

| schestowitz | I first heard of it in about 1985 or thereabout on NPR. | Jun 16 18:27 |

| schestowitz | Segment your market. Squeeze the segments you have a monopoly. Opportunistic pricing in other segments. For example, a competitor comes along at a higher quality and lower price with an entry level computer. IBM comes out with a new fairly similar model at half the price with barely enough memory. Clearly selling at a huge loss. Wipes out competitor. But memory upgrade is priced so high that it more than makes up for the loss. This segment of | Jun 16 18:27 |
| schestowitz | the market is now back under control. Change models, pricing, etc to get this segment back to high pricing again without the super low price starter model. | Jun 16 18:27 |

Every soldier, policeperson, fbi agent and mercenary contractor should move to China where they belong, because I can promise you none of these people involved in any of these efforts deserve to be counted as citizens of the United States any more than Stalin, Mao or Xi for that matter.

| schestowitz | this is exactly what most "parents" (state appointed guardianship privilege) are already doing. they send their kids to state indoctrination centers during the day so they can make fake money to rent more plastic shit they don't need, and then stick them in front of enemy media when they get home and feed them poison that makes them dumber and guarantees they don't live to collect any ssn or retirement benefits. normals are so brainwashed | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | they will want to have you arrested for terrorism if you simply speak the truth and try to wake them up. once enough slaves are brainwashed they will change the laws to allow just that. It's already happening. | Jun 16 18:30 |

| schestowitz | Islam has its many problems, but TBH I'd rather not focus on it in techrights links not because I'm afraid of being labelled but because things like "honour killings" also happen in other religions.... they're just labeled differently. You could also find abuse of women in other religions. The more devout, the worse. I once had a girlfriend from France who came from a devout family, so I saw that firsthand. Rianne is leaning more and more | Jun 20 05:12 |
| schestowitz | towards secularisation over time-- something she's afraid to admit. And she too has become a "green buff" -- to the point where we boycott plastics, became veggie and minimise energy use, purchases etc. | Jun 20 05:12 |

| schestowitz | Over he past few months I added ALL links you sent to me, except maybe jihadwatch and other 'unsavory' sources (which I dumped into IRC channels for the logs, instead). | Jun 20 05:27 |
| schestowitz | So I don't think review would be necessary. To catch structural issues I search the 'wall of text' for common patterns of errors and validate the page after publishing. I can free up about 2 hours a day by offloading my non-tech news read/write. At this moment I write about Microsoft (will be up soon). | Jun 20 05:27 |

| schestowitz | Around 5-6am my time. At around 3am the big dumps happen on TR, sometimes rendering the site temporarily inaccessible. gzip probably the worst of the bunch. | Jun 22 19:55 |
| schestowitz | >> One issue I had with TM was that if the VM crashed during backup it | Jun 22 19:55 |
| schestowitz | >> would leave behind it old backups that filled up the partition. I | Jun 22 19:56 |

| schestowitz | >> days' backup, just in case | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | > Ok. The find utility can delete files matching a specific name pattern | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | > that are older than a set time. I'd like to find a way to have it leave | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | > the occasional weekly back up for a month or two though. | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | You can name the files differently for weekly, then have separate riles for that. I saw neat examples on the Web. | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | >> Also, to reduce server load, maybe not compress the file? I've long | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | >> considered doing that with other dumps too, seeing how they make the CPU | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | >> scream even if nice'd. | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | > Sounds good. It's just a matter of removing gzip from the pipe. | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | Yes, leave that in for now. We can worry about profiling the system's performance later. | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | > We'll also need our own scripts to fetch the material off of TR. | Jun 22 19:56 |
| schestowitz | I use a comment line template at the moment. The server is RAIDed, so total catastrophe is not very likely. | Jun 22 19:56 |
