[11:22] schestowitz-TR i checked because I saw high # of video requests this morning [11:22] schestowitz-TR anyway, everything is fine [11:22] schestowitz-TR irc a bit noisy today [11:22] schestowitz-TR noisy, not busy [11:22] techrightssec2 :/ [11:28] schestowitz-TR btw, i have not changed the cron job yey [11:28] schestowitz-TR you wanted to make an adjustment around xmas [11:28] techrightssec2 ack [11:28] techrightssec2 There is a work-around in place but work-arounds build up as technical debt. [11:29] schestowitz-TR anyway, we were a thorn on msft's side this week [11:29] schestowitz-TR that alone is good [11:29] schestowitz-TR i'll keep an even closer eye [11:29] schestowitz-TR the "news" will only "pick this up" when there's no choice but to do so [11:30] schestowitz-TR i'll slow down the series a bit, or split long stuff [11:34] techrightssec2 There has been little coverage of m$ plagiarism of copyrighted code via their [11:34] techrightssec2 "OpenAI" scam Copilot. The DMCA, which they have abused extensively both [11:34] techrightssec2 directly and via their marketing arm the BSA, has provisions for severe [11:34] techrightssec2 penalties for their stripping of both licenses and attribution from the code [11:34] techrightssec2 they are plagiarizing. [11:34] techrightssec2 ^ topic ? [11:36] schestowitz-TR i still have thousands of lines in notes about copilot and stuff [11:36] schestowitz-TR aside from "hey hi" hype and view from ebuzz central i think it's not the right time [11:36] schestowitz-TR right now to continue with that series [11:36] schestowitz-TR i will focus on epo and the openwashing first [11:36] schestowitz-TR i still have thousands of lines in notes about copilot and stuff [11:36] schestowitz-TR aside from "hey hi" hype and view from ebuzz central i think it's not the right time [11:36] schestowitz-TR right now to continue with that series [11:36] schestowitz-TR i will focus on epo and the openwashing first [11:37] techrightssec2 ok [11:37] techrightssec2 maybe just add to the notes [11:37] schestowitz-TR i was JUST about to add that to me NOTES, yes! [11:38] techrightssec2 EPO and sw patents are always top priority so maybe there is a sw patent [11:38] techrightssec2 aspect to their misbehavior. The stripping of licenses affects sw patent [11:38] techrightssec2 coverage since some license address sw patents and some don't. Then there [11:38] techrightssec2 is the question of what kind of sw patent scams "OpenAI" itself is trying to [11:38] techrightssec2 pull? [11:39] schestowitz-TR when I stopped tracking news aboutt epo about 11 months ago the quality of coverage was alreadyveru poor [11:39] schestowitz-TR so it's hard to cover, there's no input worthwhile anymore [11:39] schestowitz-TR some of the better patnt blogs became inactive [11:39] schestowitz-TR so mondaq, lexology etc. with iam dominated gulagnoise...

    WS2812B individually addressable RGB LEDs, commonly referred to by Adafruits NeoPixel trade name, are unique because a user can control the color and brightness of every LED in a chain through a single data wire. Each LED passes the data along to the next, with control commands going to the addressed LED. The user can control as many LEDs as they want using only a single digital I/O pin on a [11:40] schestowitz microcontroller.

I wonder how much of that is due to a conflict [11:43] techrightssec2 of interest.

[11:44] schestowitz-TR yes, that did cross my mind before [11:51] schestowitz-TR my latest video probably does a better job explaining [11:51] schestowitz-TR but then again it's easier to do after writing then before [11:51] schestowitz-TR either way, there is a pile-up of more scandals [11:51] schestowitz-TR some blurted out in irc today [11:51] schestowitz-TR as there was trolling and provocation [11:51] schestowitz-TR and spin [11:51] schestowitz-TR makes one wonder if microsoft has a hidden hand in all this ● Jan 06 [12:17] techrightssec2 https://www.thewrap.com/the-view-carly-fiorina-abortion-debate-texas-law/ [12:17] techrightssec2 She's still trolling and imho getting press unwarranted by her trail of [12:17] techrightssec2 failures including her infamous destruction of HP [12:17] techrightssec2 The press however tries to play public displeasure with her as misogyny rather [12:17] techrightssec2 that as something earned through her demonstrated combination of [12:17] techrightssec2 malice and incompetence.

More dangerously, they [12:45] techrightssec2 wear down the editors who try to monitor the situation but end up just letting [12:45] techrightssec2 the situation turn into a shouting match and then side, at least partially, with [12:45] techrightssec2 those who are loud enough or microsoftified enough. ● Jan 06 [13:19] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
