schestowitz> keep the following for you: I know many (many!) of the names in the list. You are right they used to be examiners. But they have been promoted not for the sake of excellence but for their ability to be i) a nuisance to their colleagues and ii) brown noses (eg. being high producers and disregarding quality or being involved in "unclear" affairs). Even before the Battistelli era EPO wasn't a paradiseJun 23 04:00
schestowitzHi,Jun 23 04:00
schestowitz1) I am aware (I started writing about EPO before Battistelli)Jun 23 04:00
schestowitz2) I will keep this private (will not quote)Jun 23 04:00
schestowitz3) They would still be better off as allies of CSC/SUEPO rather than of upper management, IMHO.Jun 23 04:00
schestowitzIn order for EPO to recover the top management needs to 'fall'.Jun 23 04:00

schestowitz"And they are concentration camps, no matter what Trump and his administration are calling them. I can't believe this asshole hasn't been removed from the White House."Jun 23 18:28
schestowitz> im trying to think of "unquestioning obedience" as threat for the threat db.Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz> stallman is a genius. a lot of people simply parrot what he says-- in many ways, parroting stallman is better than saying nothing.Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz> but i also think about the constitutional threat of drones.Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz> there are lots of safeguards on military drones, to keep the commander in chief (the pres) from taking over the army. but if we did have a semi-autonomous robot army that could be rigged somehow to take orders from the commander in chief, that would be a crisis on par with a coup detat.Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:14
schestowitz> the point is, that the real (human) armed forces all take an oath to the defend the constitution-- NOT the commander in chief. so while he gives the orders, he cannot (legally) give unconstitutional ones. he cant say for example to the american army: "kill all the civilians." their oath is the constitution, so they are REQUIRED to disobey their top commander in such a situation. (if this gives little comfort, that is a separate issue. butJun 23 19:15
schestowitzit should give a little, if not enough.)Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> robots cant do that-- they have no oath to the constitution. a drone is not yet capable of meaningfully/practically taking such an oath. so we have a potential constitutional crisis in the making-- and a coup in the making IF (hopefully long odds) that the pres ever figures out how to subjugate our robotic army.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> and yes, i mention this both as a serious literal concern for some point in the future, and also by way of metaphor.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> stallman would be better off training an army of clones capable of critical thinking, than an army of parrots which i often feel he has. i know its not entirely fair to the free software movement to say that they are all clones and parrots. im not trying to say its 100%. but there are so many people doing that, i feel the best move would be to discourage it.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> unfortunately, the fsf does more to encourage than discourage that sort of thing. as GUIDELINES or tongue in cheek, the "words to avoid" page is useful. in practice, it is more of a rule than a guideline. i have always called it the "gnuspeak dictionary."Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> but i am talking about an army of parrots, not the words to avoid page-- which i offer just as an example of unquestioning obedience in practice-- allowing the fsf to choose words for them.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> i would change that page (if the license allowed, which it doesnt-- stupid noderivs) to offer problematic words, a GUIDELINE (with a warning to those who would turn it into a rule) to avoid them, and encourage people to come up with their OWN alternatives, rather than adopt the ones the fsf chooses.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> they could do that, but they dont.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> but when i talk about obedience i mean it goes beyond this. i mean that people do not think openly about solutions to these threats. WE can encourage them to think openly about solutions, but the fsf acts (quite unintentionally im sure) as a gatekeeper and oracle-- WE know the problems, WE know the solutions.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> i think it should be HERE are the problems, HELP US think of solutions. thats not how the fsf works, or it is too limited in that regard (and not how they talk either.)Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> i think it would be better for stallman to retire from his position while he is still "young" and "powerful" enough to be certain his successor is suited to the task. if the fsf fails without him, he should try to steer the movement AWAY from the fsf.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> if he waits until he is too old, it will be harder to do that. and we have some evidence he is already being pushed out. so his effectiveness as president may already be limited.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> sometimes being on the inside isnt always the best avenue for change. imagine if he had spent his life at the ai lab, trying to do it from there. he left to be more effective.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> i think we need more stallmans. but lets talk about the difference between a viable clone and a parrot.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> a parrot is just an echo of stallman a few years ago.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> a REAL clone would think for itself. critical thinking is what stallman does best.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> if he has an army of parrots, then his clones are not viable. they are stunted, neutered--Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> and if they are not critical, they can be steered away from their mission by the next iteration of the fsf.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> i honestly think all the other fsf leaders are VERY soft. i think mako is soft too, but the most like stallman.Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:15
schestowitz> "we should distance ourself further from open source" (i say s/distance/distinguish/ -- where are they going to go? underground?) is a powerful quote from ben mako hill at libreplanet, circa 2016 or so. to me that says hes the best man (though i thought he was ages ago.)Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> if its a woman, i think kat walsh. though i think shes too open sourcey. mako could be as well, but i think hes ok. i know more about him than walsh, even though i met her twice. i simply know more about mako.Jun 23 19:16

schestowitz> today someone i consider respectable and honest said they hoped their comment didnt "provoke" me-- conversation attached.Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> i was flattered. it reminded me of when they used to say things like that about stallman.Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> shh shh shh, dont say intellectual property-- youll get him started again!Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> i notice youre attacking the term aye pee, and i think thats one worth attacking too-- regardless of everything ive said about "gnuspeak." so that is not a critique, that you attack such a misleading term. youre already critically thinking, youre not a parrot.Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> but i told alexander that im "happy to be his gnusciance"-- that its important to have people thinking for themselves, and i would still rather be understood than feared.Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> its an important distinction not made often enough-- thinking vs parroting, mutual understanding vs unquestioning agreement.Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz>Jun 23 19:16
schestowitz> i think its as much of a threat to free software as it is to the constitutional viability of the united states-- but i havent written a librethreat entry for it yet.Jun 23 19:16

acer-boxWas a little skeptical with his viewpoint that all of this "increased" with Trump. Later he did cite a statistic, but I was still skeptical because I remember that this agency has had these behaviors and attitudes since -- I would say a few years after 9/11? (9/11 happened in 2001, for our younger readers.) Someone in the comments placed another statistic illustrating that it actually sharply increased under the Obama administration.Jun 24 18:04
acer-boxNo matter who you blame, it's unconstitutional, regardless of the guise it's being done under. (That one statement also applies to a host of various "ACTS" that have been enacted over the years -- but I digress). There are things a person can do to protect themselves during border crossings.

schestowitz[21:39] <schestowitz> I added a commentJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:39] <MinceR> why do people still expect anything microsoft ever does to be benign?Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:39] <MinceR> i guess words speak louder than actions after allJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:39] <XRevan86> MinceR: It's big. Inate trust in the authority.Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:39] <MinceR> who made those criminals an authority?Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:39] <XRevan86> * innateJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <schestowitz> anyway, see the comments in The RegisterJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <__martin__> cite: Just more infiltration, entryism. They try to sell Windows and Azure. See comments on this article, e.g.: "You're assuming #Microsoft has good intentions. Instead, they've decided it's easier to suck the marrow from the bones if they can sneak inside the host under a flag of truce, like many other common parasites."Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <schestowitz> I saw some yesterdayJun 29 07:18

schestowitz[21:40] <XRevan86> MinceR: Money, money, money; always sunny, in the rich man's world.Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <schestowitz> people aren't stupidJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <schestowitz> but companies like Red Hat and Canonical are controlled by Microsoft cash nowJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <schestowitz> Zemlin PAC alsoJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:40] <schestowitz> Azure money and allJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:41] <__martin__> anyways, got one more question do you folks think RPi4's Raspbian or that Broadcom chip design is backdoored by design?Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:42] <__martin__> cuz I definitely think it must be at least GCHQ "approved"Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:42] <__martin__> (ordered one alrdy tho)Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:43] <__martin__> [as I gotta replace 10yo laptop with 1st gen Intel Core CPU & 9 yo desktop with Athlon II X3 which should be theoretically immune to the Meltdown shiets // even tho I ran to direct Pentagon agents within Valve's Dota 2 mobaJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:43] <MinceR> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Jun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:43] <schestowitz> gchq has many ways to get into thingsJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:43] <schestowitz> but it doesn't need to access everythingJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:44] <schestowitz> in this case it can harm a british firmJun 29 07:18
schestowitz[21:48] * __martin__ but one thing is for sure, they dislike distros without systemd as when I fired up Void instead of Ubuntu, my family memeber's cellphone got immediately ringed from bogus belarussian numberJun 29 07:18

schestowitzI have almost 300 unread items under CC (mostly politics) and plan to catch up with these by Monday. Same for "OSS" (Google News).Jun 29 07:41
schestowitzAre you looking under "Nature"? I still strive to put these at 0, seeing you don't often send links from there. Rianne reads these too, but not for linking purposes. Just personal interest.Jun 29 07:41
