[04:02] Techrights-sec Or maybe just the last man standing after all the others have gotten bought out [04:02] Techrights-sec either directly or indirectly by their decades long repuation laundering scheme. [04:04] schestowitz-TR The police is the #1 crime hater [04:07] schestowitz-TR hate is not healthy [04:07] schestowitz-TR no doubt about that [04:07] schestowitz-TR but crime is even more unhealthy [04:07] schestowitz-TR not just for minds, but for the functioning of a society based upon rules and sensibilities [04:09] Techrights-sec "hater" is what they='ve been able to frame all criticism of their crimes as [04:09] Techrights-sec or the functioning of a naton; many nations have had what amount to roving [04:09] Techrights-sec teams of sabateurs spreading across their territories and undermining the [04:09] Techrights-sec technical infrastructure. [04:09] schestowitz-TR right, I am not too worried because at the end people see things for what they are [04:09] schestowitz-TR it's hard to perpetually fool people with all sorts of identity cards [04:09] schestowitz-TR and PR stunts [04:09] schestowitz-TR we just need to keep cooll and keep at it [04:10] Techrights-sec Maybe, but so far M$ has been able to shift blame on all things including the [04:10] Techrights-sec induced vulnerability oto cyberattacks. [04:10] Techrights-sec Yes persistence is a key here. [04:10] Techrights-sec But it's not just the M$ people and M$ products which are deadly for nations, [04:10] Techrights-sec it is more so the M$ way of thinking. Who the F would think it's ok to design [04:10] Techrights-sec cars where remote attackers can turn off the brakes and floor the accelerator, [04:10] Techrights-sec among other things. [04:12] schestowitz-TR to diagress a little, [04:12] schestowitz-TR figos (now matey) thinks I am being too soft [04:12] schestowitz-TR and then blasts me if I insinuate he sometimes goes too far [04:12] schestowitz-TR like attacking people who are barely even the main or the woprst actors [04:12] schestowitz-TR I think that it's important not to feed the crowd or the slant [04:12] schestowitz-TR that calls us angry or unreasonable [04:13] Techrights-sec It is important to be aware that M$ does what it can over the years to sow [04:13] Techrights-sec strife through as many communities as it can. [04:13] Techrights-sec M$ encourages name calling [04:14] schestowitz-TR [03:04] Decades-long Microsoft propagandist Paul Thurrott covering up for Microsoft back doors and other inher [04:14] schestowitz-TR ently security issues https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/265150/google-claims-microsoft-makes-governments-less-secure [04:14] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/265150/google-claims-microsoft-makes-governments-less-secure ) [04:15] Techrights-sec They always have their shills covering up and distracting from the real problems [04:15] Techrights-sec and their real causes. [04:15] Techrights-sec Note the complete silence from the WhiteHouse on the matter despite making all [04:15] Techrights-sec kinds of noise otherwise about cyberattacks. [04:15] Techrights-sec and cyberdefense. [04:19] schestowitz-TR it is probably even harder to take on misinformation from "Big Oil" [04:19] schestowitz-TR I think they might have eben bigger clout [04:19] schestowitz-TR but that's not to belittle what we do [04:19] schestowitz-TR in fact, there are things I heardx 2 days ago that suggest shithub [04:19] schestowitz-TR is reeling in pain and trying to silence critics [04:19] schestowitz-TR using laawsuits and settlements [04:19] schestowitz-TR they already are in disarray [04:19] schestowitz-TR but they keep silent and calm [04:19] schestowitz-TR to prevent panic [04:19] schestowitz-TR I also think that fostering a culture of whistleblowers is good [04:19] schestowitz-TR so we have more mitchel lewises [04:21] Techrights-sec M$ products are probably strategically far more dangerous than Nordstream2 [04:21] Techrights-sec the disinformation tactics used by M$ are like those used by tobacco and oil [04:21] Techrights-sec Yes, there need to be more but ost of all the courts need to neutralize the [04:21] Techrights-sec non-disparagement clauses almost certainly piggybacked onto $ severance [04:21] Techrights-sec packages and even regular employment contracts. That's on top of the cult-like [04:21] Techrights-sec loyalty prerequisite for initial employment there, [04:22] schestowitz-TR the NSA has just caught another insider/contractor [04:22] schestowitz-TR I fiirmly believe that one real risk is, [04:22] schestowitz-TR 1) people whose leaks have no real outcome/impact [04:22] schestowitz-TR 2) people who get caught and accomplish nothing [04:22] schestowitz-TR as that discourages future attempts [04:24] Techrights-sec #1 is the worst; the country just shrugs and turns back to twitter or facebook [04:24] Techrights-sec There are a lot of naive people who think that "getting things out in the open" [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 [04:24] Techrights-sec isions even if they were not [04:24] Techrights-sec 100% absorbed in a combination of treading water at work and clicking mindlessly [04:24] Techrights-sec through social control media. The latter is about manipulation and unlike what [04:24] Techrights-sec some politicians and former politicians may wish to believe is not in any way [04:24] Techrights-sec an unfiltered or even reliable source; Hell it's not even a source of information. [04:24] Techrights-sec It never was, never will be, never can be. [04:28] schestowitz-TR lots of things I want to sat [04:28] schestowitz-TR *say [04:28] schestowitz-TR 1) many women opened up wounds over what trump did to them [04:28] schestowitz-TR it changed almost nothing [04:28] schestowitz-TR 2) remember jeff reif, who spoke of reno-bade Microsoft tax dodge? [04:28] schestowitz-TR 3) to many of these people, this is the end of their career [04:28] schestowitz-TR nobody would employ them [04:28] schestowitz-TR all they have is a trail of old press reports [04:28] schestowitz-TR and many of these articles go offline over time [04:28] schestowitz-TR 4) the strategy used against these people is make them feel powerless [04:28] schestowitz-TR and gaslight or ignore them if feasible [04:28] schestowitz-TR inducing self-shame or regret is a plus [04:28] Techrights-sec The remains of the press are part of the problem. That comes from the corporate [04:28] Techrights-sec ownership which sets the agenda and priorities, and replaces the journalists [04:28] Techrights-sec with stenographers. [04:28] Techrights-sec M$ runs like a mafia and exploits regional or local corruption but in harmony [04:28] Techrights-sec with their national level attacks. [04:31] schestowitz-TR for the first time in over a month one blog mentioned EPO strike [04:31] schestowitz-TR the comments as in comment section can be considered good [04:31] schestowitz-TR but the media is in such an awful state [04:31] schestowitz-TR that in order to get info you need to find some rare blog posts and even [04:31] schestowitz-TR then the blog post is worthless, so you need to scroll down [04:31] schestowitz-TR to comments [04:31] schestowitz-TR i'm sure "manufacturing consent" had some bits covering that aspect [04:31] schestowitz-TR of the propaganda model [04:32] Techrights-sec AFAIK none of the national sites picked up *any* coverage of the EPO strike. [04:32] Techrights-sec They barely cover strikes within their own countries and then only mostly from [04:32] Techrights-sec the perspectivce of the employer. [04:32] Techrights-sec That and "Shock Doctrine". [04:32] schestowitz-TR I will do a long video later today [04:33] schestowitz-TR in the meantime I need to look after the bumblebee we found yestersay [04:33] schestowitz-TR probably his last day alive today [04:34] schestowitz-TR we nurture but not nourish it, it cannot fly anymore [04:34] schestowitz-TR it's the first time we find an insect in such a state on the kitchen floor [04:34] schestowitz-TR and rianne loves bees [04:34] schestowitz-TR this one is huge [04:36] Techrights-sec I'm not sure how to treat the solitary bees. Maybe honeywater and reasonably [04:36] Techrights-sec temperatures; they are not supposed to be out during the winter; [04:40] schestowitz-TR maybe the unusually low temps are at fault [04:40] schestowitz-TR it was snowing that morning or the one before [04:40] schestowitz-TR anyway, i told rianne it's a rare chane to get close to them [04:40] schestowitz-TR without the risk of getting stung [04:40] schestowitz-TR othrwise the only pets we have are fish [04:40] Techrights-sec Fish are calming [04:40] schestowitz-TR thankfully we don't travel (for years), as that would require [04:40] schestowitz-TR asking neighbours for help [04:40] schestowitz-TR and the people who moved in next door feel more like squatters [04:40] schestowitz-TR than residents [04:40] schestowitz-TR it's like 5 south asian people sharing one home [04:41] schestowitz-TR converted the living room too into a bedroom [04:41] schestowitz-TR with clothes hanging there to the front window [04:46] Techrights-sec :/ [04:46] Techrights-sec The stereotype is 12 to an appartment all working illegally [04:47] schestowitz-TR we put a bid on that house, but it seemed it remained unsold [04:47] schestowitz-TR and the owner put some rather 'unsavoury' tennants there [04:47] schestowitz-TR compensation with quantity for the lack of quality so to speak [04:47] schestowitz-TR maybe 150 per head per month [04:47] Techrights-sec One thing that has worsened recently is comanies and governments misusing [04:47] Techrights-sec twitter in place of official channels [04:50] schestowitz-TR speaking of twitter [04:50] schestowitz-TR it has not been a month since I left [04:50] schestowitz-TR yesterday I checked anaalystics [04:50] schestowitz-TR it shows that not there are 400-800 daily impressions [04:50] schestowitz-TR that's for nearly 1 milliuon tweets [04:50] schestowitz-TR so on a daily basis maybe 1 in 2000 would be viewed or scrolled throuhg [04:50] schestowitz-TR it's not clear what twitter actually counts of how [04:50] schestowitz-TR so you can see the poor return on effort [04:50] schestowitz-TR once you stop adding new things you see the lack of value [04:50] schestowitz-TR of the older stuff [04:50] schestowitz-TR this inclues the visiblity of replies of mine to accounts of politicians, [04:50] schestowitz-TR Wikileaks, etc. [04:51] Techrights-sec ack [04:51] Techrights-sec so the archive is doing some good then [04:52] schestowitz-TR barely. those are small numbersa.

[13:55] schestowitz-TR not anymore\ [13:55] schestowitz-TR then I did lots of rebutting in social control media [13:55] schestowitz-TR when it still matters [13:55] schestowitz-TR last year I started doing likes of [Ed:] in daily links [13:55] schestowitz-TR the downside was, w were linking and giving traffic to lots of lies [13:56] schestowitz-TR so this year it was videos [13:56] Techrights-sec Probably best /not/ to link to crap. [13:56] Techrights-sec No matter how tempting it is to try to deride it, too many people will get the [13:56] Techrights-sec wrong interpretation of the crap. [13:57] schestowitz-TR we need to think of a strategy [13:57] schestowitz-TR the upside of videos is, no URL is visible for people to find the lie [13:57] schestowitz-TR and I can focus on how stupid those things are [13:57] schestowitz-TR without repeating the lies on the screen [13:57] schestowitz-TR I'm at a loss [13:58] schestowitz-TR I don't know how to effectivel;y respond anymore [13:58] schestowitz-TR zoobab is still wasting a lot of time "retweeting" things [13:58] schestowitz-TR even teh flasehoods [13:58] schestowitz-TR and then he gets depressed by them [13:58] schestowitz-TR demoralised ● Apr 03 [14:00] Techrights-sec reaching out by other TR members to their respective national news services, [14:00] Techrights-sec might help a tiny amount but the news "services" seem fooled by social control [14:00] Techrights-sec media instead and might be impervious to authentic sources soon [14:00] Techrights-sec retweeting is a waste of time; [14:00] schestowitz-TR I think today's long video will be the last in this series [14:00] schestowitz-TR we need to alter approach [14:00] schestowitz-TR at the very least because we've very well established the point that [14:00] schestowitz-TR 1) gulag noise sucks and [14:00] schestowitz-TR 2) there's virtually NO coverage on these issues [14:00] schestowitz-TR today I saw one good article in Nature [14:00] schestowitz-TR It was about COVID patent waiver [14:00] schestowitz-TR at least it was correctytly framed [14:00] schestowitz-TR but these sorts of articles are rare [14:02] schestowitz-TR if you can come up with an effective strategt, it would help much much more [14:02] schestowitz-TR than me hitting the wall [14:02] schestowitz-TR there is not much material to go by [14:02] schestowitz-TR with libreplanet I can use opther people's well-research presentation [14:02] schestowitz-TR and give them some exposure [14:02] schestowitz-TR with patents it's harder [14:02] schestowitz-TR as most patent events are "ciercle-jerks" [14:02] Techrights-sec the patent "events" I have seen are based fully on lies and untruths, [14:02] Techrights-sec that is an real problem, they receive no penalty for lying, rather are [14:02] Techrights-sec rewarded financially for it [14:04] schestowitz-TR so how do we respond? [14:04] schestowitz-TR inciudentally, if you type mtechrights into gulag search it tries to complete with upc [14:04] schestowitz-TR so clearly some people look for upc info and narrow it down by domain/;source [14:04] Techrights-sec TR shows up rather well in some areas, Wikipedia is a place which needs [14:04] Techrights-sec repair however [14:06] schestowitz-TR wikipedia can go f* itself [14:06] schestowitz-TR I won't spend a minute trying to fix somethng which is well broken [14:06] schestowitz-TR and is, by its very own nature, easy toi re-=break [14:06] schestowitz-TR esp. by those with the financial means [14:06] schestowitz-TR like GAFAM-OSI [14:07] Techrights-sec Loss of EFF, OSI, and LF among others are a sore blow to software freedom [14:07] Techrights-sec It'd be worlds better if even one of those were pulling their own weight. [14:10] schestowitz-TR I think we need to re-evaluate the way we respond to those threats [14:10] schestowitz-TR social control media is "good riddance" [14:10] schestowitz-TR it was not effective and makkjes it very easy to take things out [14:10] schestowitz-TR of context [14:10] schestowitz-TR their advanbtage is that they have money and mouths [14:10] schestowitz-TR many liars and budget to lob it over into gulag news [14:10] schestowitz-TR through lexology, mondaq etc. [14:10] schestowitz-TR their bribed media hides the very existence of an epo union [14:10] schestowitz-TR it is deliberate [14:14] Techrights-sec unfortunately [14:15] schestowitz-TR maybe daily videos that are shorter? [14:15] schestowitz-TR teh downside is that clustering of related topics is harder this way [14:15] schestowitz-TR which means itr becomes a little less organsed ● Apr 03 [15:11] Techrights-sec shorter videos might help a lot [15:12] schestowitz-TR ok, today's will be the last of ikts kid [15:12] schestowitz-TR kind [15:12] schestowitz-TR I will wrap things up and ponder how else to approach this [15:35] schestowitz-TR I think you will like the video I added from libreplanet [15:35] schestowitz-TR it is 5 minutes long [15:35] schestowitz-TR I've also just deposited my draft, a first and crude one, if you want to have a look [15:55] Techrights-sec ack [15:55] Techrights-sec looked at the backup files: 98GB of video on TR [15:55] Techrights-sec Maybe it would be appropriate for the members of SUEPO to take a serious look [15:55] Techrights-sec at the relevant Wikipedia entries? [15:56] schestowitz-TR I think it is morally wrong to send people to 'correct' wikipedia [15:56] schestowitz-TR the way OSI tried to do [15:56] schestowitz-TR and I am sure they are aware of the issues and the union can do that on its [15:57] schestowitz-TR own [15:57] schestowitz-TR they can wrsele in the mud with the EPO's PR pigs [15:57] Techrights-sec Wikipedia is all about, and only about, edit wars most unfortunately. [15:57] Techrights-sec It would be wrong, maybe, to publish an article, but since you are corresponding [15:57] Techrights-sec with people there, you night bring the situation to their attention and let [15:57] Techrights-sec them decide if or how to deal with it. [15:58] schestowitz-TR I think it would be inappropriate for me [15:58] schestowitz-TR as that would reinforce what I complain about [15:58] schestowitz-TR like Microsoft bribing 'experts' to 'correct' wikipedia ● Apr 03 [16:11] schestowitz-TR This talk is about Haven.

They dodged around the licensings too. The ACM [17:22] Techrights-sec writeup poiunts out prominently that it is an Open Source library.

[19:32] schestowitz-TR software is justa tiny portion of the many issues [19:32] schestowitz-TR it's a bundle of wishlists [19:47] *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:53] Techrights-sec The media has been allowed to misinform and distract the public by wrongly [19:53] Techrights-sec portraying software patents (when they were covered at all) as a developer [19:53] Techrights-sec issue. They are not. They govern usage, thus has nothing to do with copyright, [19:53] Techrights-sec and affect /end users/.
