schestowitz-pi2in the month of February we equipped ourselves with better tools by which to analyse, curate, collate news. I very much doubt I'll reduce focus on TR in the coming decade, be it over WWW or whatever comes along/in tadem/nextMar 10 07:17

techrights[sec]it relays.  BB seems to have sold out to the entities it was supposed toMar 10 07:29
techrights[sec]be watching and gaurding against.  It's disingenuous propaganda at this pointMar 10 07:29
techrights[sec]Most dangerously it is about the only site covering the section 230 politicsMar 10 07:29
techrights[sec]so that causes a big threat.Mar 10 07:29
schestowitz-pi2the threat is "reduce" as more and more people give up and stop being the "audience"Mar 10 07:33
schestowitz-pi2but the peak "shilling" is when the readers have not _yet_ figured that outMar 10 07:33
schestowitz-pi2many "linux" sites do the sameMar 10 07:33
schestowitz-pi2then they stop complelely and vanishMar 10 07:33
schestowitz-pi2like cnet right now and zdnet next...Mar 10 07:33

schestowitz-pi2in my feeds only one feed habitually spams tiktokMar 10 07:36
schestowitz-pi2it's that music/copyright site Mar 10 07:36
schestowitz-pi2i forgot its name Mar 10 07:36
