schestowitzI'm one of yours readers.Mar 01 03:15
schestowitzAfter reading those of your (many) pills about gemini, I've decided to setup my capsule, too.Mar 01 03:15

schestowitzI have a internet domain hosted by a hoster in The Netherlands. And I want to get htpp and gemini.Mar 01 03:15
schestowitzThere are not any step-by-step recipes available on how to get a gemini website (text, couple pictures) plus a blog. And you have I think the most advanced capsule and more experience than me. Could please help me and enlight me?Mar 01 03:15

schestowitz-TRincluding some stuff like making monthly pages for viddeosMar 01 08:54
schestowitz-TRon another note, I have jujst opened daily linksMar 01 08:54
schestowitz-TRI see a profound change, as there is no "line" for social control mediaMar 01 08:54
schestowitz-TRbut I think, hang on, maybe that's a gOOD tHING (tm)Mar 01 08:54
schestowitz-TRMAYBE i CAN STOP SOCIAL MEDIA "FASTING" EARLYMar 01 08:54
schestowitz-TRcaps not intentionnal ^^Mar 01 08:54

schestowitz-TRMicrosoft floudering againMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRbut, to me, twitter is not importantMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRif you saw twitter "analytics"Mar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRyou would understandMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRI once did a video about itMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRshowing how over the past 5 years Mar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRtraffic was declining steadilyMar 01 09:02

schestowitz-TRit'll bounce backMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRI saw that before in digg.com and other sitesMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRthe writings are on the wallMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRas for diaspora, with zero followersMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRthere would be tons of catching up to doMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRI checked the hundreds of existing instancesMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRwho knows where they will be in 5  years, let alone moreMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRthat's what I entertained the idea of self-hosting itMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRI tried on the techrights servers ages ago and run itMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRthose files are still there somewhere in homedirMar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRbut the point is,Mar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRfor shity shiity shiotty "tweets" this is hardly Mar 01 09:02
schestowitz-TRworth the effortMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRyou then neer to aslso mmanageMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRemail notifications which means jumping through gulagsoft hooopsMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRcenrtifications, APIs with "services" and tokens and allMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRthis is tackling a real isssueMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRa 2010 issueMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRnot a 2022 issueMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRpeople are glued to "smart" phones nowMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRand they apparently use more gulagtube and netflix (drm) andMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRtiktok noMar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRI don't keep up with these thingsMar 01 09:03

Techrights-sec2every minute people spend glued to their smartphones is a minute not only thatMar 01 09:03
Techrights-sec2they won't get back but takes away from what would have been a wealth of skillsMar 01 09:03
Techrights-sec2and experiences, thus cutting into their futures. That goes 100x for youth.Mar 01 09:03
schestowitz-TRI mean, looki, I can justify doing all this a decade agoMar 01 09:04
schestowitz-TR(to myself)Mar 01 09:04
schestowitz-TRbecause the situation was different back thenMar 01 09:04
schestowitz-TRlike when corbyn ran for PMMar 01 09:04
schestowitz-TRand my tweets got like 100-200k impressions a dayMar 01 09:04
schestowitz-TRfor diaspora, ttl is 72 hours plusMar 01 09:06
schestowitz-TRso stopping on my own a little early might be okMar 01 09:06

Techrights-sec2yesMar 01 09:06
Techrights-sec2Speaking of links, how should the acquisitions be tuned?Mar 01 09:06
Techrights-sec2I presume there is no need to check Mastodon's Fediverse any more either?Mar 01 09:06
schestowitz-TRsome "toots" can be 'addictive' because they are relevantMar 01 09:08
schestowitz-TRbut little effort was put intoo writing themMar 01 09:08
schestowitz-TRso it is like that SMS mindsetMar 01 09:08
schestowitz-TRwhich dicourage proper understanding of stuffMar 01 09:08
schestowitz-TRand does not reward the hard workMar 01 09:09
schestowitz-TRiirc, dctorow just copy-pastes his long-form articlesMar 01 09:09
schestowitz-TRinto mamut.fr or whateverMar 01 09:09
Techrights-sec2yes, doctorow has a proper blog to track anywayMar 01 09:09
schestowitz-TRdoctorow wasted many years writing for tabloid trashMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRwhich he now tells me he wants to distancxce himself fromMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRas they do things he does not agreee withMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRbook sales and eff help him make a livingMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRand he focuses on his own blog, iirc on his very own platformMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRat long lastMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRin twitter I saw the other day that I had exceeded 950k tweetsMar 01 09:11
Techrights-sec2ackMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRbut those numbers do not matter and are not visible  like they Mar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRused to beMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRyou hgave to use some tricks to see themMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRI can still occasionally use such accounts to highlightMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRonly important thingsMar 01 09:11
schestowitz-TRlinks about 4 times faster than beforeMar 01 09:25
schestowitz-TRone side advantage is, the chance of my account being banned from twitter withMar 01 09:25
schestowitz-TReverything lost for good is a lot lowerMar 01 09:25

schestowitz-TRwhy?Mar 01 09:25

Techrights-sec2ackMar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2As mentioned before this conflict in Euruope is further normalizing the misuseMar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2of social control media by officials and agencies.  They are misusing itMar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2in place of official channels of communication and the press is feeding onMar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2that and helping normalize it beyond what has previously happened.  Mar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2Now Zuckerberg and Dorsey are the bottleneck through which leaders of state Mar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2must squeeze to reach the public.Mar 01 09:25
Techrights-sec2The press only hurts themselves by promoting social control media.Mar 01 09:25

schestowitz-TRI have begun drafting some stuffMar 01 09:29
schestowitz-TRI see that TechDirt works after the migration, one "Daily" 'Deal' [sic]Mar 01 09:29
schestowitz-TRcrept throughMar 01 09:29
schestowitz-TRwow, I am going  through the links very fastMar 01 09:32
schestowitz-TRI think somehow pressed crtl+s and paused it, ctrl+q fixed it I thinkMar 01 09:32
Techrights-sec2I'll check to see about filtering the new 'Daily "deal"' stuff.Mar 01 09:33
schestowitz-TRkMar 01 09:35
schestowitz-TRthe links added at the bottom I'll dump into irc where I csn read the headlinesMar 01 09:35
schestowitz-TRI assume there are good reasons not to include these in daily linksMar 01 09:35
schestowitz-TRIn due course I will reassess how to use social control media, if at allMar 01 09:35
schestowitz-TRmy grandpa saysd, you cannot change and explore other things if you never try thenmMar 01 09:35
schestowitz-TRI think at the time he was referring to working from homeMar 01 09:35
schestowitz-TRwhich I did, then regretted I hadn't done that soonerMar 01 09:35
Techrights-sec2Ok.  Fixed the "Daily Deal" references. Mar 01 09:45
schestowitz-TRI am almost done witrh Daily Links :-)Mar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRtheory: the motivation to run a service is closely connected to its overallMar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRimpactMar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRso the cutting off of some service, due to admin losing interest,Mar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRmight in fact signal the fad having passedMar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRand persisting in the old ways is insistance that timesMar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRare not changingMar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRsoon I'll get some coffeee and start recording, writing etc.Mar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRmuch better use of timeMar 01 09:48
Techrights-sec2I hope soMar 01 09:48
Techrights-sec2I think there has been a slight increase in people resuming real blogs.Mar 01 09:48
schestowitz-TRyes, some time last year I notiuced that even with zero "news" sitesMar 01 09:49
schestowitz-TRrianne and I could still post around 50 node in tuxmachinesMar 01 09:49
schestowitz-TReach dayMar 01 09:49
Techrights-sec2There was also a fairly successful campaing about 100 posts in 100 daysMar 01 09:49
Techrights-sec2to encourage people to write even short blog entries for 100 days in a row.Mar 01 09:49
Techrights-sec2That seems to have inspired many both directly and indirectly. Mar 01 09:49
schestowitz-TRit is all about habits and momentumMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TRdoctorw said about a decade ago something to that beffectMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TRit's like crushing your teethMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TRyou just do uit because you do it, and did it every dayMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TRwriting can be the sameMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TRsocial media addiction is the negativce "evil brother" ofMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TRthis mental thing, which also applies to prayerMar 01 09:52
schestowitz-TR(rianne and I stopped going to church)Mar 01 09:52
Techrights-sec2I think that 100 posts in 100 days campaign was a positive thing.Mar 01 09:59
Techrights-sec2I guess it depends on the character of the church, they do vary quite a bit.Mar 01 09:59
Techrights-sec2In some countries there are no qualifications or educational prerequisites,Mar 01 09:59
Techrights-sec2not even a degree in theology nor skill in ancient greek or hebrew neededMar 01 09:59

schestowitz“Regulations on strike and unauthorised absence: the Council unanimously approved the proposed amendments to the Service Regulation as a result of the respective ILOAT judgements rendered in July 2021”.Mar 01 15:51
schestowitzIf so, and despite the incorrect reference to “July 2021” (as ILO-AT’s 132nd session ended in JUNE 2021), may I point out that the proposed amendments cannot possibly deal with Judgment No. 4482, which was delivered on 27 January 2022.Mar 01 15:51

schestowitzA good question to which I predict there will never be a satisfactory answer. This is because I have no doubt that the governments of the Participating Member States will exert their influence to ensure that the question falls between one of the numerous cracks between the different (national, international and EU) legal systems that govern the UPC.Mar 01 15:52

schestowitzI am not too sure that there are so many cracks.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzWhat if a national jurisdiction refuses the exequatur of decision taken in Paris and/or Munich in IPC files in classes A and C?Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzNational jurisdictions regularly refer prejudicial questions to the CJEU about SPC. It would be surprising if the UPC would not need to do the same.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzIn all courts of member states, there is a double degree of jurisdiction, with a revision instance above.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzThis is not the case for the UPC of for the BA of the EPO.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzJust compare trademarks: EUIPO, its internal BA and eventually Luxembourg.Mar 01 15:53

schestowitzFEBRUARY 25, 2022 AT 10:50 AMMar 01 15:53
schestowitzAttentive, I agree that IN THEORY there should not be quite so many cracks. However, we are talking here about practice.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzTo illustrate, consider that ALL of the EPC Member States are party to the ECHR, and the majority are EU Member States. Nevertheless, they have presided over the imposition of measures that deprive EPO staff of human rights that are enshrined in both EU law and the ECHR. And, thanks in large part to a highly “political” decision of the Dutch Supreme Court, they have escaped accountability for doing so.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzI do not yet know how, but I am pretty sure that similar tricks to escape accountability will be employed in connection with the UPC. The politicians simply have too much invested in the UPC project for the outcome to be otherwise.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzOf course, I could be mistaken. For example, it would be quite something if the CJEU were to rule that it could not consider preliminary references from the UPC, on the grounds that the UPC is not a court common to the EU Member States. However, are we sure that the UPC will risk this outcome? Might the UPC’s judges instead refuse to submit preliminary references to the CJEU, even when they ought to be obliged to seek an opinion from the CJEU Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzon a point of EU law? What could any litigant do in that situation to ensure that their rights under EU law are respected? Would this then come back to a situation where what actually happens is a far cry from what the law says SHOULD happen?Mar 01 15:53

schestowitzAs long as those wanting the UPC declare it is legal, it will be legal.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzReasonable doubts are however permitted that the UPC is in conformity with EU law.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzIt seems to need more than a reference to the supremacy of EU law to insure that it is actually the case!Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzIt is amazing to see how the supporters of the UPC superbly ignore the open issues which exist.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzIn certain circles, auto-suggestion seems to be a favourite topic.Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzIt reminds of a proprietor repeating that claim 1 is novel in the hope that the self-professy suddenly becomes true!Mar 01 15:53

schestowitzI was actually thinking about this sentence of the UPC website (28 October 2021):Mar 01 15:53
schestowitz“The Chairman presented a draft Declaration on the authentic interpretation of Art. 3 of the PAP-Protocol, following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the Unitary Patent System. In line with public international law, this Declaration will confirm the entry into force of the PAP-Protocol, once the required 13 Member States become bound by said Protocol, recognizing that Art. 3 of the PAP-Protocol is to be interpreted as mirroring Art. 89 Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzof the UPCA. The delegations supported the approach proposed by the Chairman, hence giving him the mandate to organize a signing ceremony of the Declaration, foreseen in the margins of a future COREPER meeting.”Mar 01 15:53
schestowitzHas the Declaration been signed? If not, how could the PAP-Protocol have entered into force?Mar 01 15:53

schestowitzI think the board would probably agree that 75% of the fee should be refunded but they are bound by the wording of Rule 103.
