schestowitz-TR | "Dr. Roy Schestowitz is the #1 Microsoft hater." http://www.fosspatents.com/2022/04/microsoft-rightly-withdrew-support-for.html | Apr 03 04:02 |
---|---|---|
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.fosspatents.com | FOSS Patents: Microsoft rightly withdrew support for ACT | The App(le) Association (which it once created) -- why are Verizon, Intel, AT&T, Verisign still behind advocacy against 99.9% of app developers? | Apr 03 04:02 | |
Techrights-sec | Or maybe just the last man standing after all the others have gotten bought out | Apr 03 04:02 |
Techrights-sec | either directly or indirectly by their decades long repuation laundering scheme. | Apr 03 04:02 |
schestowitz-TR | The police is the #1 crime hater | Apr 03 04:04 |
schestowitz-TR | hate is not healthy | Apr 03 04:07 |
schestowitz-TR | no doubt about that | Apr 03 04:07 |
schestowitz-TR | but crime is even more unhealthy | Apr 03 04:07 |
schestowitz-TR | not just for minds, but for the functioning of a society based upon rules and sensibilities | Apr 03 04:07 |
Techrights-sec | "hater" is what they='ve been able to frame all criticism of their crimes as | Apr 03 04:09 |
Techrights-sec | or the functioning of a naton; many nations have had what amount to roving | Apr 03 04:09 |
Techrights-sec | teams of sabateurs spreading across their territories and undermining the | Apr 03 04:09 |
Techrights-sec | technical infrastructure. | Apr 03 04:09 |
schestowitz-TR | right, I am not too worried because at the end people see things for what they are | Apr 03 04:09 |
schestowitz-TR | it's hard to perpetually fool people with all sorts of identity cards | Apr 03 04:09 |
schestowitz-TR | and PR stunts | Apr 03 04:09 |
schestowitz-TR | we just need to keep cooll and keep at it | Apr 03 04:09 |
Techrights-sec | Maybe, but so far M$ has been able to shift blame on all things including the | Apr 03 04:10 |
Techrights-sec | induced vulnerability oto cyberattacks. | Apr 03 04:10 |
Techrights-sec | Yes persistence is a key here. | Apr 03 04:10 |
Techrights-sec | But it's not just the M$ people and M$ products which are deadly for nations, | Apr 03 04:10 |
Techrights-sec | it is more so the M$ way of thinking. Who the F would think it's ok to design | Apr 03 04:10 |
Techrights-sec | cars where remote attackers can turn off the brakes and floor the accelerator, | Apr 03 04:10 |
Techrights-sec | among other things. | Apr 03 04:10 |
schestowitz-TR | to diagress a little, | Apr 03 04:12 |
schestowitz-TR | figos (now matey) thinks I am being too soft | Apr 03 04:12 |
schestowitz-TR | and then blasts me if I insinuate he sometimes goes too far | Apr 03 04:12 |
schestowitz-TR | like attacking people who are barely even the main or the woprst actors | Apr 03 04:12 |
schestowitz-TR | I think that it's important not to feed the crowd or the slant | Apr 03 04:12 |
schestowitz-TR | that calls us angry or unreasonable | Apr 03 04:12 |
Techrights-sec | It is important to be aware that M$ does what it can over the years to sow | Apr 03 04:13 |
Techrights-sec | strife through as many communities as it can. | Apr 03 04:13 |
Techrights-sec | M$ encourages name calling | Apr 03 04:13 |

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/265150/google-claims-microsoft-makes-governments-less-secure ) | Apr 03 04:14 | |
Techrights-sec | They always have their shills covering up and distracting from the real problems | Apr 03 04:15 |
Techrights-sec | and their real causes. | Apr 03 04:15 |
Techrights-sec | Note the complete silence from the WhiteHouse on the matter despite making all | Apr 03 04:15 |
Techrights-sec | kinds of noise otherwise about cyberattacks. | Apr 03 04:15 |
Techrights-sec | and cyberdefense. | Apr 03 04:15 |
schestowitz-TR | it is probably even harder to take on misinformation from "Big Oil" | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | I think they might have eben bigger clout | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | but that's not to belittle what we do | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | in fact, there are things I heardx 2 days ago that suggest shithub | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | is reeling in pain and trying to silence critics | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | using laawsuits and settlements | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | they already are in disarray | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | but they keep silent and calm | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | to prevent panic | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | I also think that fostering a culture of whistleblowers is good | Apr 03 04:19 |
schestowitz-TR | so we have more mitchel lewises | Apr 03 04:19 |
Techrights-sec | M$ products are probably strategically far more dangerous than Nordstream2 | Apr 03 04:21 |
Techrights-sec | the disinformation tactics used by M$ are like those used by tobacco and oil | Apr 03 04:21 |
Techrights-sec | Yes, there need to be more but ost of all the courts need to neutralize the | Apr 03 04:21 |
Techrights-sec | non-disparagement clauses almost certainly piggybacked onto $ severance | Apr 03 04:21 |
Techrights-sec | packages and even regular employment contracts. That's on top of the cult-like | Apr 03 04:21 |
Techrights-sec | loyalty prerequisite for initial employment there, | Apr 03 04:21 |
schestowitz-TR | the NSA has just caught another insider/contractor | Apr 03 04:22 |
schestowitz-TR | I fiirmly believe that one real risk is, | Apr 03 04:22 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) people whose leaks have no real outcome/impact | Apr 03 04:22 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) people who get caught and accomplish nothing | Apr 03 04:22 |
schestowitz-TR | as that discourages future attempts | Apr 03 04:22 |
Techrights-sec | #1 is the worst; the country just shrugs and turns back to twitter or facebook | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | There are a lot of naive people who think that "getting things out in the open" | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | will change things. Nothing changes as the public (in the US and soon elsewhere) has become too uneducated to make informed dec | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | isions even if they were not | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | 100% absorbed in a combination of treading water at work and clicking mindlessly | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | through social control media. The latter is about manipulation and unlike what | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | some politicians and former politicians may wish to believe is not in any way | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | an unfiltered or even reliable source; Hell it's not even a source of information. | Apr 03 04:24 |
Techrights-sec | It never was, never will be, never can be. | Apr 03 04:24 |
schestowitz-TR | lots of things I want to sat | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | *say | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) many women opened up wounds over what trump did to them | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | it changed almost nothing | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) remember jeff reif, who spoke of reno-bade Microsoft tax dodge? | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | 3) to many of these people, this is the end of their career | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | nobody would employ them | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | all they have is a trail of old press reports | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | and many of these articles go offline over time | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | 4) the strategy used against these people is make them feel powerless | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | and gaslight or ignore them if feasible | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | inducing self-shame or regret is a plus | Apr 03 04:28 |
Techrights-sec | The remains of the press are part of the problem. That comes from the corporate | Apr 03 04:28 |
Techrights-sec | ownership which sets the agenda and priorities, and replaces the journalists | Apr 03 04:28 |
Techrights-sec | with stenographers. | Apr 03 04:28 |
Techrights-sec | M$ runs like a mafia and exploits regional or local corruption but in harmony | Apr 03 04:28 |
Techrights-sec | with their national level attacks. | Apr 03 04:28 |
schestowitz-TR | for the first time in over a month one blog mentioned EPO strike | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | the comments as in comment section can be considered good | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | but the media is in such an awful state | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | that in order to get info you need to find some rare blog posts and even | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | then the blog post is worthless, so you need to scroll down | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | to comments | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | i'm sure "manufacturing consent" had some bits covering that aspect | Apr 03 04:31 |
schestowitz-TR | of the propaganda model | Apr 03 04:31 |
Techrights-sec | AFAIK none of the national sites picked up *any* coverage of the EPO strike. | Apr 03 04:32 |
Techrights-sec | They barely cover strikes within their own countries and then only mostly from | Apr 03 04:32 |
Techrights-sec | the perspectivce of the employer. | Apr 03 04:32 |
Techrights-sec | That and "Shock Doctrine". | Apr 03 04:32 |
schestowitz-TR | I will do a long video later today | Apr 03 04:32 |
schestowitz-TR | in the meantime I need to look after the bumblebee we found yestersay | Apr 03 04:33 |
schestowitz-TR | probably his last day alive today | Apr 03 04:33 |
schestowitz-TR | we nurture but not nourish it, it cannot fly anymore | Apr 03 04:34 |
schestowitz-TR | it's the first time we find an insect in such a state on the kitchen floor | Apr 03 04:34 |
schestowitz-TR | and rianne loves bees | Apr 03 04:34 |
schestowitz-TR | this one is huge | Apr 03 04:34 |
Techrights-sec | I'm not sure how to treat the solitary bees. Maybe honeywater and reasonably | Apr 03 04:36 |
Techrights-sec | temperatures; they are not supposed to be out during the winter; | Apr 03 04:36 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe the unusually low temps are at fault | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | it was snowing that morning or the one before | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | anyway, i told rianne it's a rare chane to get close to them | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | without the risk of getting stung | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | othrwise the only pets we have are fish | Apr 03 04:40 |
Techrights-sec | Fish are calming | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | thankfully we don't travel (for years), as that would require | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | asking neighbours for help | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | and the people who moved in next door feel more like squatters | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | than residents | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | it's like 5 south asian people sharing one home | Apr 03 04:40 |
schestowitz-TR | converted the living room too into a bedroom | Apr 03 04:41 |
schestowitz-TR | with clothes hanging there to the front window | Apr 03 04:41 |
Techrights-sec | :/ | Apr 03 04:46 |
Techrights-sec | The stereotype is 12 to an appartment all working illegally | Apr 03 04:46 |
schestowitz-TR | we put a bid on that house, but it seemed it remained unsold | Apr 03 04:47 |
schestowitz-TR | and the owner put some rather 'unsavoury' tennants there | Apr 03 04:47 |
schestowitz-TR | compensation with quantity for the lack of quality so to speak | Apr 03 04:47 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe 150 per head per month | Apr 03 04:47 |
Techrights-sec | One thing that has worsened recently is comanies and governments misusing | Apr 03 04:47 |
Techrights-sec | twitter in place of official channels | Apr 03 04:47 |
schestowitz-TR | speaking of twitter | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | it has not been a month since I left | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | yesterday I checked anaalystics | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | it shows that not there are 400-800 daily impressions | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | that's for nearly 1 milliuon tweets | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | so on a daily basis maybe 1 in 2000 would be viewed or scrolled throuhg | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | it's not clear what twitter actually counts of how | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | so you can see the poor return on effort | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | once you stop adding new things you see the lack of value | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | of the older stuff | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | this inclues the visiblity of replies of mine to accounts of politicians, | Apr 03 04:50 |
schestowitz-TR | Wikileaks, etc. | Apr 03 04:50 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 03 04:51 |
Techrights-sec | so the archive is doing some good then | Apr 03 04:51 |
schestowitz-TR | barely. those are small numbersa. | Apr 03 04:52 |
schestowitz-TR | meanwhile joindiaspora is dead asnd they say it can take "months" before I can migrate all | Apr 03 04:52 |
schestowitz-TR | the data from it to another instance of diaspora | Apr 03 04:52 |
schestowitz-TR | even just for preservation's sake (the URLs would remain broken regardless) | Apr 03 04:52 |
schestowitz-TR | at least with IRC it is static and remains online for decades | Apr 03 04:52 |
schestowitz-TR | inc. the IRC logs I published 14 years ago | Apr 03 04:52 |
Techrights-sec | social control media is too valuable to large corporations and the politicians | Apr 03 04:53 |
Techrights-sec | they own for it to be left to die, though it should be | Apr 03 04:53 |
schestowitz-TR | this too shall pass | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | it's just a matter of how much longer it has left to live | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | AND what will be replacing it | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | I no longer think video is the next social control media | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | seeing what happened to gulagtube and vimeo | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | they waited and waited | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | and netflix doubled the price | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | i think spitify manager to swing into profits | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | but the effect of the recent exodus remains to be seen | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | they tried to enter the podcast "bizniz" | Apr 03 04:55 |
schestowitz-TR | and got burned by attracting cranks | Apr 03 04:55 |
Techrights-sec | they appear to see video only as a vehicle for advertising and clicks, though | Apr 03 04:56 |
Techrights-sec | others exploit for disinformation and propaganda too | Apr 03 04:56 |
Techrights-sec | yes, cranks are common on video plaforms | Apr 03 04:56 |
schestowitz-TR | people will still be "online" | Apr 03 04:57 |
schestowitz-TR | but I really don't know what they do "online" | Apr 03 04:57 |
schestowitz-TR | they used to use RSS feeds a lot more | Apr 03 04:57 |
schestowitz-TR | RSS culture is still beinmg clobbered | Apr 03 04:58 |
schestowitz-TR | Gulag and social control media are among the culprits here | Apr 03 04:58 |
schestowitz-TR | Gulag Noise is becoming more and more noise | Apr 03 04:58 |
schestowitz-TR | GIGO | Apr 03 04:58 |
Techrights-sec | online means "apps" these days, which is just mutilated browser going to | Apr 03 04:58 |
Techrights-sec | a javascript laden page running an unsigned, unautenticated program on the | Apr 03 04:58 |
Techrights-sec | machine via the browser; | Apr 03 04:58 |
schestowitz-TR | well, that's too bad then | Apr 03 04:59 |
schestowitz-TR | because it's neither sustainable nor productive | Apr 03 04:59 |
schestowitz-TR | but thena again they love their population powerless | Apr 03 04:59 |
Techrights-sec | it has been kept afloat artificially so far | Apr 03 05:00 |
schestowitz-TR | just like the webspam known as linux.com | Apr 03 05:01 |
schestowitz-TR | with some shadowy "editor" (perlow now, used to be spamnil for a year) | Apr 03 05:01 |
schestowitz-TR | I wait to see more recent info on LF | Apr 03 05:01 |
schestowitz-TR | esp. post-lockdowns | Apr 03 05:01 |
schestowitz-TR | when they lost a ton of "events" money | Apr 03 05:01 |

schestowitz-TR | need to think of new publication strategy for patent matters with emphasis on Eirope and on EPO | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | I do not know one | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | the weekly summarises become a tad repetitive | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | and it goes like this: | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | 2010 and prior: lots of good journalism on the subject | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | added to daily links or forming the basis for original Techrights tories | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | incidentally lots of it from EFF (!) | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | not anymore\ | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | then I did lots of rebutting in social control media | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | when it still matters | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | last year I started doing likes of [Ed:] in daily links | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | the downside was, w were linking and giving traffic to lots of lies | Apr 03 13:55 |
schestowitz-TR | so this year it was videos | Apr 03 13:56 |
Techrights-sec | Probably best /not/ to link to crap. | Apr 03 13:56 |
Techrights-sec | No matter how tempting it is to try to deride it, too many people will get the | Apr 03 13:56 |
Techrights-sec | wrong interpretation of the crap. | Apr 03 13:56 |
schestowitz-TR | we need to think of a strategy | Apr 03 13:57 |
schestowitz-TR | the upside of videos is, no URL is visible for people to find the lie | Apr 03 13:57 |
schestowitz-TR | and I can focus on how stupid those things are | Apr 03 13:57 |
schestowitz-TR | without repeating the lies on the screen | Apr 03 13:57 |
schestowitz-TR | I'm at a loss | Apr 03 13:57 |
schestowitz-TR | I don't know how to effectivel;y respond anymore | Apr 03 13:58 |
schestowitz-TR | zoobab is still wasting a lot of time "retweeting" things | Apr 03 13:58 |
schestowitz-TR | even teh flasehoods | Apr 03 13:58 |
schestowitz-TR | and then he gets depressed by them | Apr 03 13:58 |
schestowitz-TR | demoralised | Apr 03 13:58 |
Techrights-sec | reaching out by other TR members to their respective national news services, | Apr 03 14:00 |
Techrights-sec | might help a tiny amount but the news "services" seem fooled by social control | Apr 03 14:00 |
Techrights-sec | media instead and might be impervious to authentic sources soon | Apr 03 14:00 |
Techrights-sec | retweeting is a waste of time; | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | I think today's long video will be the last in this series | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | we need to alter approach | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | at the very least because we've very well established the point that | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | 1) gulag noise sucks and | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | 2) there's virtually NO coverage on these issues | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | today I saw one good article in Nature | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | It was about COVID patent waiver | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | at least it was correctytly framed | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | but these sorts of articles are rare | Apr 03 14:00 |
schestowitz-TR | if you can come up with an effective strategt, it would help much much more | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | than me hitting the wall | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | there is not much material to go by | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | with libreplanet I can use opther people's well-research presentation | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | and give them some exposure | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | with patents it's harder | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | as most patent events are "ciercle-jerks" | Apr 03 14:02 |
Techrights-sec | the patent "events" I have seen are based fully on lies and untruths, | Apr 03 14:02 |
Techrights-sec | that is an real problem, they receive no penalty for lying, rather are | Apr 03 14:02 |
Techrights-sec | rewarded financially for it | Apr 03 14:02 |
schestowitz-TR | so how do we respond? | Apr 03 14:04 |
schestowitz-TR | inciudentally, if you type mtechrights into gulag search it tries to complete with upc | Apr 03 14:04 |
schestowitz-TR | so clearly some people look for upc info and narrow it down by domain/;source | Apr 03 14:04 |
Techrights-sec | TR shows up rather well in some areas, Wikipedia is a place which needs | Apr 03 14:04 |
Techrights-sec | repair however | Apr 03 14:04 |
schestowitz-TR | wikipedia can go f* itself | Apr 03 14:06 |
schestowitz-TR | I won't spend a minute trying to fix somethng which is well broken | Apr 03 14:06 |
schestowitz-TR | and is, by its very own nature, easy toi re-=break | Apr 03 14:06 |
schestowitz-TR | esp. by those with the financial means | Apr 03 14:06 |
schestowitz-TR | like GAFAM-OSI | Apr 03 14:06 |
Techrights-sec | Loss of EFF, OSI, and LF among others are a sore blow to software freedom | Apr 03 14:07 |
Techrights-sec | It'd be worlds better if even one of those were pulling their own weight. | Apr 03 14:07 |
schestowitz-TR | I think we need to re-evaluate the way we respond to those threats | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | social control media is "good riddance" | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | it was not effective and makkjes it very easy to take things out | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | of context | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | their advanbtage is that they have money and mouths | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | many liars and budget to lob it over into gulag news | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | through lexology, mondaq etc. | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | their bribed media hides the very existence of an epo union | Apr 03 14:10 |
schestowitz-TR | it is deliberate | Apr 03 14:10 |
Techrights-sec | unfortunately | Apr 03 14:14 |
schestowitz-TR | maybe daily videos that are shorter? | Apr 03 14:15 |
schestowitz-TR | teh downside is that clustering of related topics is harder this way | Apr 03 14:15 |
schestowitz-TR | which means itr becomes a little less organsed | Apr 03 14:15 |
Techrights-sec | shorter videos might help a lot | Apr 03 15:11 |
schestowitz-TR | ok, today's will be the last of ikts kid | Apr 03 15:12 |
schestowitz-TR | kind | Apr 03 15:12 |
schestowitz-TR | I will wrap things up and ponder how else to approach this | Apr 03 15:12 |
schestowitz-TR | I think you will like the video I added from libreplanet | Apr 03 15:35 |
schestowitz-TR | it is 5 minutes long | Apr 03 15:35 |
schestowitz-TR | I've also just deposited my draft, a first and crude one, if you want to have a look | Apr 03 15:35 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 03 15:55 |
Techrights-sec | looked at the backup files: 98GB of video on TR | Apr 03 15:55 |
Techrights-sec | Maybe it would be appropriate for the members of SUEPO to take a serious look | Apr 03 15:55 |
Techrights-sec | at the relevant Wikipedia entries? | Apr 03 15:55 |
schestowitz-TR | I think it is morally wrong to send people to 'correct' wikipedia | Apr 03 15:56 |
schestowitz-TR | the way OSI tried to do | Apr 03 15:56 |
schestowitz-TR | and I am sure they are aware of the issues and the union can do that on its | Apr 03 15:56 |
schestowitz-TR | own | Apr 03 15:57 |
schestowitz-TR | they can wrsele in the mud with the EPO's PR pigs | Apr 03 15:57 |
Techrights-sec | Wikipedia is all about, and only about, edit wars most unfortunately. | Apr 03 15:57 |
Techrights-sec | It would be wrong, maybe, to publish an article, but since you are corresponding | Apr 03 15:57 |
Techrights-sec | with people there, you night bring the situation to their attention and let | Apr 03 15:57 |
Techrights-sec | them decide if or how to deal with it. | Apr 03 15:57 |
schestowitz-TR | I think it would be inappropriate for me | Apr 03 15:58 |
schestowitz-TR | as that would reinforce what I complain about | Apr 03 15:58 |
schestowitz-TR | like Microsoft bribing 'experts' to 'correct' wikipedia | Apr 03 15:58 |

schestowitz-TR | the passage of files between laptops is fast | Apr 03 16:51 |
Techrights-sec | Dongarra's award was not featured prominently at all in the NY Times, not even | Apr 03 17:22 |
Techrights-sec | in the relevant section. They dodged around the licensings too. The ACM | Apr 03 17:22 |

schestowitz-TR | involved in EPO scandal coverage | Apr 03 19:32 |
schestowitz-TR | after he had contacted me we found some commonalities | Apr 03 19:32 |
schestowitz-TR | and also he can help against UPC | Apr 03 19:32 |
schestowitz-TR | but maybe I'm too optimistic | Apr 03 19:32 |
Techrights-sec | I hope he can contribute to coverage, it is central to patents in Europe | Apr 03 19:32 |
Techrights-sec | and UPC is a scam and a danger to software /users/ everywhere. | Apr 03 19:32 |
schestowitz-TR | software is justa tiny portion of the many issues | Apr 03 19:32 |
schestowitz-TR | it's a bundle of wishlists | Apr 03 19:32 |
