OIN’s Deb Nicholson: We Don’t Solve Any Real Issues, Just Like OSI (Where Nicholson is Now Interim General Manager)

Posted in GNU/Linux, ISO, OIN, OSI, Patents, Videos at 8:28 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

OSI board

Microsoft Tim's interview with Neil McGovern

Summary: Before working at OSI, whose sole accomplishment so far is an attack on the FSF, she worked for IBM (et al) front group OIN and SFC, which is another attack group that raises money from Microsoft and then attacks the FSF

“WHY on Earth are you picking on Nicholson???”

One might actually say a foolish thing like this, conveniently ignoring the fact that — putting aside irrelevant gender aspects — Nicholson worked for SFC while SFC was attacking Richard Stallman, lobbying and pressing for his removal. At the same time she brought Microsoft money to the SFC for two years in a row, then moved to the flailing OSI, where only months later she and her colleagues started a campaign of defamation against Stallman and an extended campaign to undermine the FSF (using ‘guilt’ by association tactics).

“At the same time she brought Microsoft money to the SFC for two years in a row, then moved to the flailing OSI, where only months later she and her colleagues started a campaign of defamation against Stallman and an extended campaign to undermine the FSF (using ‘guilt’ by association tactics).”The hate letter’s perpetrators actually plotted to redefine Free software and make proprietary software seem "OK" only 1.5 months before they found an excuse to start a vicious attack, helped by media that’s funded by proprietary software giants.

Looking back, there’s a track record of bad deeds. Nicholson’s bosses at SFC — like herself — were given an award a month ago. Can’t they recognise the self-harm they’re doing? De Raadt, Miguel de Icaza, Garrett, Nicholson, Kuhn…

What on Earth is going on and who stands to benefit?

Prior to the stints at the SFC and OSI there was a stint at the Open Invention Network (OIN).

“They clearly do nothing to tackle software patents or patent trolls and they mostly protect monopolies, just like OSI ‘minionry’ does these days.”The totally useless OIN, which we’ve criticised for quite some time (the short story is, they seek to undermine true patent reform and distract from opponents of software patents, instead working to legitimise such patents), is no good. GNU developers we’ve spoken to are saying the same. Some GNU/Linux developers who are threatened by patent trolls also receive no help from OIN. We did a series about this last month.

In the following video, which is rather old by now, we have an almost open (or frank) admission that OIN is of no real use to software developers. It’s for monopolies that cross-licence.

To quote from the video: “You wouldn’t be able to sue IBM for it…”

They clearly do nothing to tackle software patents or patent trolls and they mostly protect monopolies, just like OSI ‘minionry’ does these days. The portion below (Fair Use) is 4:00-5:20 from the full video.

Notice how the questions aren’t even being answered (or not properly anyway) until pressed further and further. Roblimo died years ago and I still feel deep sadness over it (I shed tears, too), as he was always nice to me and wanted to hear my side of the story, especially on things which truly mattered (he also put me in the radio 14 years ago when he worked for Slashdot and we debated OOXML).

RSS Feeds Make Reading Fun Again, Mostly Distraction- and Provocation-Free

Posted in Deception, Free/Libre Software, GNU/Linux at 6:46 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: RSS feeds aren’t about selling you stuff and manipulating/swaying you in some other direction (like click-bait inside timelines and sidebars, a de facto ‘noise machine’), for they compete on grounds like reliability rather than clicks or “screen time”, so you can concentrate on what’s really going on, in general, and what you currently read; today we share an up-to-date list of RSS feeds for Free software and BSD/GNU/Linux

THE Web is a very, very noisy place and many people fail to realise just how noisy it is (unless they take a ‘break’ or choose alternative means, including RSS instead of Web pages). Sure, most RSS feeds are still HTTP/S and HTML, but that too may change over time because of Gemini protocol (gemini://) and some work in progress towards standardising syndication/aggregation. The links below say more about why RSS is so much better:

“The end goal is to take control back from companies that censor/filter news.”The previous video explained why society would likely be better off with RSS, not centralised platforms many know as social control media (a consolidation plot/agenda, much like clown computing).

Young readerTo get the ball rolling, for those who aren’t already using RSS readers, added below is a long list of RSS feeds and their respective sites. About 460 feeds are listed, for sites/URLs which aren’t endorsements but just a raw list (feed name/title typically just derived from the feed, not manually improved/completed). Some of them may no longer work, but I typically delete those that stop working, so this list ought to be mostly current.

The end goal is to take control back from companies that censor/filter news. To become independent or liberated from sources of potential abuse (of power), or for autonomy/self-governance over one’s reading (no “algorithms” and “hey hi” in the middle) we really ought to adopt this approach and encourage others to do the same. Google and its sponsored proxies (including Mozilla) won’t help people adopt RSS feeds; they actively sabotage existing support for it. It doesn’t suit the agenda of advertisers.

For those who want to follow us or syndicate over Gemini (gemini://), use gemini://gemini.techrights.org/feed/ with an archive in gemini://gemini.techrights.org/daily-feed/ or IPFS index in Gemini at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/ipfs/ (corresponding to text or
HTML index over HTTP
).

Is RSS technology, combined with self-hosting, the ‘vaccine’ against oligarchs-led ‘cancel culture’? They wish to surgically remove critical voices; centralisation makes that incredibly easy/easier, bringing audience to infinitesimally low levels with the flick of a button or a phonecall.

Why RSS Feeds Are Far Better Than Social Control Media and So-called ‘News’ Portals

Posted in Deception at 6:24 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Be in control of who and what you follow; don’t let filtering middlemen get in the way because manipulation of minds (some might call it “indoctrination”) is simpler when media is consolidated or few giant corporations can (and oftentimes do) control what you can and cannot see/hear/read, either for their financial gain or for owners/partners

THE very broad issue of Web censorship is better understood by those who experienced it not in the access sense (“I cannot access X, Y, and Z”) but in the “I’m being censored!” sense. For instance, for over 6 years the EPO has blocked Techrights, which EPO insiders tell us “almost everyone” at the EPO reads regardless (e.g. from home or a mobile phone connected to a mobile network). Inside the Office (or Office network) Office Presidents Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos have both blocked the site, not for containing falsehoods but precisely the opposite. They want workers to only see sponsored falsehoods, i.e. articles that Office management pays for (marketing/PR), not things that expose true corruption at the Office.

A book storeThe video above focuses not on anything EPO related but my experiences in social control media, which over time ‘monetises’ manipulation. The media giants have always sought to restrict or control who gets a voice and who hasn't a platform (even if the ideas are perfectly legitimate). In the age of social control media they do the same thing ‘at scale’ (muzzling millions of people and deceiving billions of people).

One way to bypass this growing problem is to directly subscribe to trusted sites. This is where RSS feeds come handy. When it comes to “Planets” which syndicate many RSS feeds in one place, the issues associated with social control media creep in again; whoever controls a “Planet” gets to decide who has and who hasn’t a voice/reach/audience. Hence we suggest directly subscribing to sites/blogs, not “Planets”. From an efficiency perspective, it’s alluring to just plug one’s RSS reader to few third-party aggregators, but that would be missing the point. Those third-party aggregators then have tremendous power over dissemination of (mis)information and mischievous agenda occasionally introduces itself, e.g. change of management or so-called ‘anti-harassment’ teams with creative interpretations of the word “harassment”. They don’t accept criticism of self-assessment/introspection.

“The media giants have always sought to restrict or control who gets a voice and who hasn’t a platform (even if the ideas are perfectly legitimate).”In the next part I’ll share a long list of RSS feeds for GNU/Linux and Free software news, reviews, howtos and so on. It has been years since I last published such a list. It takes time to edit it, converting from OPML to HTML syntax. I’ll also show a spontaneous example of how I use the RSS feeds.

Richard Stallman: We Need to Increase the Minimum Wage in the US

Posted in Finance, Free/Libre Software, Interview at 5:16 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Dr. Richard Stallman, the Free Software Foundation’s founder, speaks about corporations versus benefits, among other related issues

[00:00]

(intro music)

Roy: We’ve spoken about poverty in general, it’s been shown recently that a thing the United States has dropped a great deal in terms of the levels of the child poverty in the Western world. I think it’s second worst now.

RMS: Well, that’s not surprising because you have Republicans doing everything key can to attack

[00:30]

anything that benefits most Americans and you have Democrats rather weak in defending those programs so they’ve been reduced and reduced and reduced. You get a Democratic president who said that he wanted to make budget cutting and deficit cutting a goal. That’s the wrong goal when you’re having a recession. What you need to get out of a recession is deficit spending. That’s what Keynes told us. So, they’re ignoring this. Why? Well, we

[01:00]

can guess it’s because the plutocrats want them to ignore this.

Roy: Would you say that the minimum wage is the main point to concentrate on?

RMS: I don’t know if it’s the main point because it’s one of many important things. Yes, we need to increase the minimum wage in the US. That’s not all we need to do. We need to do a lot of things.

Roy: I think there’s been a great deal recently in the media especially where they speak about how unemployment rates have gone down but they don’t really want to show you which companies were hiring and the fact they were

[01:30]

hiring temporary employees and part-time employees and that’s another issue which robs people from the rights to certain benefits of full-time employment.

RMS: Yes, in the US health benefits and some others are, including retirement income, these have been connected by a mistake in judgement with employment. However, employers don’t have to pay into these things for somebody

[02:00]

who’s working less than half-time. So that gives employers an incentive to hire only less than half-time workers and then people don’t get these things. Now, the solution, in regard to health care is disconnect it entirely from employment. It is a mistake, and likewise for support for the old, it shouldn’t be connected with employment at all. Because if it is connected with employment, that is economic pressure on companies not to employ workers in your country.

[02:30]

They would rather employ people elsewhere or use machines. They would rather spend a lot of money to automate rather than pay people. So it’s an undesirable incentive that this law places on employers. If we simply taxed businesses based on their revenue and used the money to provide health care and income for the old and everything else that is important to do for

[03:00]

people, then these companies wouldn’t have any incentive not to get their work done by hiring people. No, don’t stop it because I want to say a bit more. First of all, when I go into a supermarket or any other store that has self-checkout machines, I urge people not to use them because by using those machines they are increasing unemployment. I don’t use them myself, unless they basically give

[03:30]

me no other choice at all. And I tell the people who work in the store, I’m refusing to use those because I want you to continue to have jobs. You can do this too. We can all do this. We can make it a movement. Second, I learned a few days ago about the role played by offshoring, by complcated chains of ownership running through countries where

[04:00]

the real owners of a company can be secret so it seems that this is something that we need to put a stop to. But why don’t we? Plutocracy, of course. The governments that continue to allow this to be done are obeying the rich that they don’t dare disobey.

Roy: Because they fund them.

RMS: Exactly. So, you need politicians who are courageous enough to

[04:30]

say we are not going to play beggar thy neighbor any more. We’ve going to kick the banksters out of London unless they bow down to a state that isn’t plutocratic. And if they say obey us or we’ll leave, we’ll tell them good-riddance because trying to attract marauders like that in the hope of a little trickle-down

[05:00]

is in the long term a self-defeating policy which anyone can see by looking at it with the long perspective.

Comment on the Open Letter to Remove RMS, Based on the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines

Posted in Free/Libre Software at 12:02 am by Guest Editorial Team

Reprinted with permission from Elias Rudberg, original in this Web site

About the Author

This text is not supposed to be about me, but let me start with a few words about my own background. I have been programming one way or another for most of my life. The work on my PhD thesis involved a lot of programming related to the Ergo quantum chemistry program, and later I worked on scientific computing research involving the Chunks and Tasks programming model. Over the years I have become more and more fascinated by the concept of free/libre software and I would really enjoy contributing more to such projects. I support organizations like the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and Software Freedom Conservancy. Recently I made some small contributions to Phosh and the Linux kernel, something I was very proud of.

Why I am writing this

Recently, an open letter was published with the title “An open letter to remove Richard M. Stallman from all leadership positions”. Many people have signed the letter; at the time of writing, 61 organizations have signed, and there are 3009 individual signatures.

The open letter has triggered a debate within the free/libre software world, a debate that I find both interesting and important. However, as I read the letter and various responses to it, I imagine that many voices on both sides are coming from a place of anger and outrage. I think more thoughtful communication would be helpful in this situation.

Whatever one might think of RMS or the GNU project, I found
the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines to be quite good, and so I was wondering what would be different if the debate were following those rules. Since the open letter sparked the debate and was signed by so many people, I find it interesting to look at the letter itself from the perspective of those guidelines.

Part 1: avoiding personal attacks

Quote from the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines:

“Please do not take a harsh tone towards other participants, and especially don’t make personal attacks against them. Go out of your way to show that you are criticizing a statement, not a person.”

I think under normal circumstances we all see the wisdom in the above, in general. However, there are parts of the open letter that could be interpreted as personal attacks, depending on the mindset of the reader. One such part of the letter is the following sentence: “He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety.”

There is a risk that the phrasing in that part of the open letter can be interpreted as assigning those labels (misogynist, ableist, transphobic) to the person, as part of his identity, rather than criticizing specific statements or actions.

The advice in the communications guidelines to “go out of your way to show that you are criticizing a statement, not a person”, does not seem to have been followed here. Assuming that the statements in the open letter are based on statements and actions, it should be possible to reformulate that part of the letter to make it more clear that the letter is criticizing certain things RMS has said and done, and reduce the personal focus.

Part 2: avoiding exaggerations

Another relevant part of the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines reads as follows:

“Please respond to what people actually said, not to exaggerations of their views. Your criticism will not be constructive if it is aimed at a target other than their real views.”

Again, this is hardly something that would normally be under dispute, most people would agree that it is best to avoid exaggerations when formulating criticism. Looking at the open letter, there seems to be room for improvement in this regard.

“The phrasing “misogynist, ableist, and transphobic” quoted earlier is another example of something that may appear as as an exaggeration to readers of the letter.”One specific part of the open letter that risks being seen as an exaggeration is the phrase “his hurtful and dangerous ideology”. Even if you (who signed the letter) are convinced that RMS has a hurtful and dangerous ideology, it may be worth considering that readers of the letter may think this is an exaggeration.

The phrasing “misogynist, ableist, and transphobic” quoted earlier is another example of something that may appear as as an exaggeration to readers of the letter.

Turning to the appendix of the open letter, linked to with the sentence “We have detailed several public incidents of RMS’s behavior”, that contains references that also risk being seen as unfair exaggerations or misinterpretations. To see a specific example of this, consider the reference number 2 in the appendix of the open letter, which points to a vice.com article. Because the headline of that vice.com article mischaracterizes the
actual statements, I worry that this citation will increase the defensiveness of readers who are skeptical of the letter’s concerns. To read details about these issues, see for example: Cancel We The Web? and On Stallman.

As the quote from the communications guidelines above says, criticism will not be constructive if it is aimed at a target other than the real views of the people criticized. It would have been better to avoid exaggerations, and to avoid referencing something that is partly false, like the reference number 2 mentioned above. More impeccable citations would go a long ways toward increasing the credibility of the letter.

Moving forward

Turning again to the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines, I think the following part can help us move forward in the current difficult situation:

“If other participants complain about the way you express your ideas, please make an effort to cater to them. You can find ways to express the same points while making others more comfortable. You are more likely to persuade others if you don’t arouse ire about secondary things.”

This applies here: in the recent debate some people have complained about the way you express your ideas in the open letter, and perhaps they have a point. As discussed above, there are some things about the open letter that could have been better.

Regardless of one’s position on any controversy, I believe that more careful constructive presentation of arguments will increase the chance of persuading readers.

Contact

Anyone who would like to ask questions or otherwise discuss this with me is welcome to contact me by e-mail: mail@eliasrudberg.se. I am particularly interested in hearing from those who signed the open letter — the critique above is directed at the letter you signed, and I would very much like to hear how you respond to it. Please do not hesitate to write to me.

Thanks

Thanks to Aaron Wolf for his review and editorial suggestions.
