And that's why so many end up in hospital this summer" [08:00] schestowitz-TR not sure you clicked it [08:00] schestowitz-TR but the hospitals are getting filled with covid patients again [08:00] schestowitz-TR if I was hospitalised for something else, that too would affect me [08:00] schestowitz-TR and I suppose it's not just a uk issue, rianne's relatives who are nurses [08:00] schestowitz-TR noticed an uptick as well [08:00] Techrights-sec2 I've not seen the details but know that the infection levels are higher than [08:00] Techrights-sec2 ever [08:01] schestowitz-TR a uk issue, rianne's relatives who are nurses [08:01] schestowitz-TR noticed an uptick as well [08:01] schestowitz-TR 1) in summer [08:01] schestowitz-TR 2) as WELL AS hospitalisation [08:01] schestowitz-TR so there's no basis to the argument that. it's OK now, let it just spread [08:01] schestowitz-TR dfc's mom just got that [08:04] schestowitz-TR ---- [08:04] schestowitz-TR many banks have "IT" issues that go beyond Microsoft [08:04] schestowitz-TR knowing pertinent tedetails would hep [08:04] schestowitz-TR *help [08:04] schestowitz-TR apropos, clown computing for a municipality from a FOREIGN provider never made sense [08:05] schestowitz-TR I wrote about it before without naming the city [08:05] schestowitz-TR this would not fly a decade or two decades ago [08:07] schestowitz-TR like I said the other week/month, the issue we deal with here is more than a brand [08:07] schestowitz-TR and "computer" schools seem to be part of the problem [08:07] schestowitz-TR making bad practices "acceptable" because of sponsors and "the market" [08:07] schestowitz-TR to the ordinary citizen this becomes visible or manifests itself as [08:07] schestowitz-TR "the system is down" or "Russia is having a go (cyberattack) at us" [08:07] schestowitz-TR it's also a cost (overhead) [08:07] schestowitz-TR I think we must responds to the FUD, without giving too much visibility tot he [08:07] schestowitz-TR FUD itself [08:08] schestowitz-TR and the goal is to equip other people with artguments [08:08] schestowitz-TR so that they do the "legwork" with us [08:08] Techrights-sec2 yes there seem to be a growing number of schools that fraudulently present [08:08] Techrights-sec2 themselves as "computer" schools when all they do is train microsoft resellers [08:08] Techrights-sec2 as far as desktop software, they don't even teach how to use the applications [08:08] Techrights-sec2 efficiently, [08:09] schestowitz-TR so... the DIPLOMAS MILLS (certifications) became THE schools [08:09] schestowitz-TR *DIPLOMA [08:09] schestowitz-TR I think those always existed, but maybe it beocmes the "norm" now [08:12] Techrights-sec2 schools became diploma mills thanks in large part to the Bologna Agreement [08:14] schestowitz-TR what does that generally mean to us? [08:14] schestowitz-TR that more colleagues will be promoted or introduced into companies in spite of a lack of merit? [08:14] schestowitz-TR that others ("competitors") will be wrose off? [08:14] schestowitz-TR that the economy, collectivelyt, will be curtailed at our expense or to our detrimnent? [08:14] schestowitz-TR hiosotyr shows that countries that don't stand out perish [08:14] schestowitz-TR and meanwhile some countries do adopt things like matrix znd flourish with real tech [08:14] schestowitz-TR but the one I partly have in mind here is norway [08:18] Techrights-sec2 the difference being that nowadays the countries are so interconnected that [08:18] Techrights-sec2 the forced incompetence can drag them all down; too few are able to see M$ [08:18] Techrights-sec2 products for the albatross that they are and even fewer able to even make [08:18] Techrights-sec2 an effort to cast off the yoke [08:26] Techrights-sec2 how is Norway going to stand out? [08:26] Techrights-sec2 They're up to their ears in M$ products [08:26] Techrights-sec2 ever since the fallout from that first mass shooting [08:26] Techrights-sec2 One guess is that the backdoors were used as a selling point to derail [08:26] Techrights-sec2 the move to FOSS which had advanced quite far by that time [08:28] schestowitz-TR it seems many in norway moved to apple and gnu/linux on the client side [08:28] schestowitz-TR universally, a lot of the back end is gnu/libre/linux and bsd [08:28] schestowitz-TR but sadly "clown" [08:28] schestowitz-TR consolidation around few DCs owned by leazeballs [08:38] schestowitz-TR as early as tomorrow afternoon I expect we'll have more data from "web-connected clients" [08:38] schestowitz-TR in turkey, russia etc. [08:38] schestowitz-TR we need to show Windows is going down [08:38] schestowitz-TR as the media is complicity in spreading lies for Microsoft about it [08:38] schestowitz-TR to keep foolish shareholders sinking money into The Scam [08:39] Techrights-sec2 yes the "clown" aspect allows for detailed surveillance and this thus [08:39] Techrights-sec2 "permissible" [08:39] Techrights-sec2 If the mainstream press were to point out that nearly 100% of malware, [08:39] Techrights-sec2 especially active infections, were due to M$ and not affecting GNU/Linux or BSD [08:39] Techrights-sec2 then that could bring on a tipping point quite quickly. There seem to have been [08:39] Techrights-sec2 a lot of successful, major DDoS attacks recently. Those are only possible due [08:39] Techrights-sec2 to the vast armies of compromised, networked Windows machines used in the [08:39] Techrights-sec2 huge botnets. [08:39] Techrights-sec2 The media spreading lies on behalf of M$ has been a growing difficulty for [08:39] Techrights-sec2 at least two decades now. Back at the beginning it was just the fringe [08:39] Techrights-sec2 doing that, maybe an individual author here or there but now it is the [08:39] Techrights-sec2 entirety of the trade press with no exception, aside from maybe Sam [08:39] schestowitz-TR sam wrorte two piece of garbage yesterday [08:39] schestowitz-TR I was about to tell you, but figured you had seen already [08:39] schestowitz-TR nothingof value [08:40] Techrights-sec2 no I had not seen, I skim over garbage, I should try to track the names [08:40] Techrights-sec2 but I don't have the sports team mentality where I can track the players [08:40] Techrights-sec2 and their scores easily [08:40] Techrights-sec2 I'm sure he must be under great pressure to join the corruption there at work [08:40] schestowitz-TR itwire very rarly has something of value to TR [08:40] schestowitz-TR very rarely [08:40] schestowitz-TR more often it's pure junk like spamnil [08:40] schestowitz-TR like "sponsored narratives" (zdnet) [08:48] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [08:49] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [08:52] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [08:53] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [08:55] Techrights-sec2 mostly but I still check it about every other day because Sam still sometimes [08:55] Techrights-sec2 writes there and occasionally has good articles [08:56] schestowitz-TR asssuming we both use the same joomla-generated rss feed (the site is a mess), you've not missed much [08:56] schestowitz-TR the feed I have of his... had not yielded anything good in weeks if not months [08:56] schestowitz-TR he does some "Smart" phone articles [08:59] Techrights-sec2 I check the actual web page but although it's low yield it is not yet low [08:59] Techrights-sec2 enough yield to drop.
