[07:09] schestowitz-TR btw, did you follow the link I posted to my blog last night? [07:09] Techrightssec no [07:09] Techrightssec no, why? [07:10] Techrightssec just checked , many heart attacks [07:16] schestowitz-TR not just in the uk [07:16] schestowitz-TR some countries speak about it formally [07:16] schestowitz-TR the countries, not some random MP whom people try to paint as antivax [07:16] schestowitz-TR I told rianen last night that the psychology of it is complicated [07:16] schestowitz-TR as many of those other MPs took the boosters too [07:16] schestowitz-TR they would rather shoe away the messenger [07:16] schestowitz-TR than consider the possibility laid forth [07:16] schestowitz-TR he correctly points out that the boosters were only tested on animals [07:16] schestowitz-TR they leapfrogged the traditional protocols, to put it mildly, an understatement [07:16] schestowitz-TR and people were righly suspicious of the speed [07:50] Techrightssec ack [07:51] schestowitz-TR these protocols exist as a response to past blunders [07:58] Techrightssec it looks like a lesson about to be relearned the hard wauy ● Nov 12 [08:00] schestowitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide_scandal [08:00] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Thalidomide scandal - Wikipedia [08:02] Techrightssec yes that was one of several [08:02] Techrightssec this one is much larger in scope :( [08:06] schestowitz-TR my friend might die soon [08:06] schestowitz-TR he beat me in Mr. Fitness competition a couple of times [08:06] schestowitz-TR now his heart is considered defective and there is no cure [08:06] schestowitz-TR but they attribute this to his intensive rowing [08:06] schestowitz-TR he is one of two friends whose knees swelled after the first/second jab [08:06] schestowitz-TR and whose doctors (it was that severe) said it had become very common [08:06] schestowitz-TR both attribute this to the jab, one of prof. in medical field, the other has 3 masters degrees and [08:06] schestowitz-TR is an athlete [08:06] schestowitz-TR gaslighting in the media makes sense when you consider who pays that media (e.g. gaurdian, billbc) [08:07] Techrightssec that's a tragedy [08:07] Techrightssec yes the media is paid indirectly through the purchase of the doses, if [08:07] Techrightssec you think about it a bit. it's 20 - 30 EUR per dose or something like [08:07] Techrightssec that and if the company is only thinking 1) itself and 2) a few weeks at a time [08:07] Techrightssec into the future, then it "makes sense" to push out something unhealth or even [08:07] Techrightssec damaging and then use social control media to stigmatize all non-praise [08:07] Techrightssec using similar tactics as m$ uses [08:10] schestowitz-TR I forgot the name of that 'singer' [08:10] schestowitz-TR who was suspended by twitter [08:10] schestowitz-TR for just mentioning what happened to her cousin in trinidad (IIRC) [08:10] schestowitz-TR because she had many followe [08:10] schestowitz-TR nicki minaj? [08:10] schestowitz-TR *followers [08:10] schestowitz-TR I think it's perfectly obvious that not only GSK paid twitter for ads (seen many of them in 2020) [08:10] schestowitz-TR Bill and Lolita gates Foundation infested my timeline a lot [08:10] schestowitz-TR so the money came [08:10] schestowitz-TR and censorship followed [08:10] schestowitz-TR I didn't say anything not subtantiated or well sourced [08:10] schestowitz-TR but that does not matter [08:10] schestowitz-TR I was "disruptive" to the relationship with some clients (advertisers) of Twitter [08:13] schestowitz-TR -- [08:13] schestowitz-TR social control media is something that gets IN BETWEEN people [08:13] schestowitz-TR in that videoi I shared last night the MP (Sir something) explains than every "mainstream [08:13] schestowitz-TR media" bias does not help because people talk to one another and the gov. cannot control that [08:13] schestowitz-TR anf thus confidence in the gov, media and medical profession will wane [08:15] Techrightssec yep. one possible side effect of a full implosion of twitter would be [08:15] Techrightssec that such tight censorship becomes once again difficult to achieve. [08:15] Techrightssec yes, way to many a-hole /want/ to believe that social control media is [08:15] Techrightssec a raw communications medium and parrot statements to that effect, [08:15] Techrightssec when it is a strong filter in reality. sadly it seems that a lot of top [08:15] Techrightssec politicians are the worst affected by their delusion. [08:15] Techrightssec confidence also wanes because there are fewer competent people as a long term [08:15] Techrightssec fall out effect from the bologne agreement. :( :( [08:15] Techrightssec business has basic been a game of LARP for decades and now that is spilling [08:15] Techrightssec over into the rest of society [08:15] Techrightssec facts can be overruled by loud opinions [08:18] schestowitz-TR btw, as noted in irc moments ago, a source told me friedman was involved in ftx [08:18] schestowitz-TR professionally, not ass client [08:18] schestowitz-TR but this isn't notable at this time [08:18] schestowitz-TR a lot of stupidity, vanity, and fools who listen to musk "tweets" [08:18] schestowitz-TR bought into those "trading" platforms [08:18] schestowitz-TR many lost nearly everything, those who ended up on top include Sheela Microsoft (Bakkt) [08:24] schestowitz-TR [on bit of a tangent] [08:24] schestowitz-TR that is why i ended up rather cynical and I keep telling people that BY DAULT [08:24] schestowitz-TR *DEFAULT [08:24] schestowitz-TR I do not trust people and do not believe what they tell me [08:24] schestowitz-TR I need to establish some rust over time [08:24] schestowitz-TR Kirk Wiebe said 90% of Americans were polled as saying that cheating and 'embellishing' is OK [08:24] schestowitz-TR to get ahead [08:24] schestowitz-TR a bit of that 'fake it till you make it' psyche [08:24] schestowitz-TR the same is true here, with job titles, salaries, homes (owned by banks, backed by money that DOES NOT EXIST [08:24] schestowitz-TR even in the banks!!) [08:24] schestowitz-TR the sooner you realise what's going on, the easier it gets to brush off "social constructs" [08:24] schestowitz-TR (or corporater consptrusts such as "intelectual property") [08:24] schestowitz-TR set aside stupid gimmicks like clown, smart, iot etc. [08:24] Techrightssec Yes, that is such a tragic cultural shift. The US has been NewYorkified [08:24] Techrightssec Yep, fraud all the way down. [08:24] Techrightssec ack [08:27] schestowitz-TR is that really a new york thing or going by canards or steretypes? [08:27] schestowitz-TR I am curious as I saw the same among Italians and East Asians [08:27] schestowitz-TR maybe we're just better familiarised with anglo-saxon-franco variants of that [08:27] schestowitz-TR we have a friend from malaysia who built his whole social life on lies [08:27] schestowitz-TR a male nurse who since his early 20s said he was a heart surgeon [08:27] schestowitz-TR and walks away if you ask the "right" questions [08:27] schestowitz-TR he lies about many other things, which built upon this fakeness [08:38] Techrightssec hard to say, it is definitely the stereotype going back to the 1800s [08:38] Techrightssec however, it seems to be cultivated and praised in movies the last few decades [08:38] Techrightssec as well as tv shows. so with that kind of encouragement, it spreads to the [08:38] Techrightssec rest of society. "I'm not really a waiter|busboy|taxidriver, [08:38] Techrightssec I'm really an actor|singer|dancer|politician|etc" [08:38] Techrightssec Maybe there's also some overlap with the propaganda that gets much of the [08:38] Techrightssec public to vote as if they themselves were in the 1% most wealthy and that [08:38] Techrightssec have an obligation to screw over the rest for further personal gain.

[09:41] Techrightssec Interestingly I was just looking at GNU Taler again the other day. [09:44] schestowitz-TR for things we cannot pay for with cash as there is no hand-to-hand contact [09:44] schestowitz-TR usually due to distance [09:44] schestowitz-TR the first question to ask is, do they need to know who I am? [09:44] schestowitz-TR e.g. plane passenger, football spectator [09:44] schestowitz-TR or, what is there to lose? [09:44] schestowitz-TR if I pay the webhost witH, and my domain is easy to link to the - gasp - host [09:44] schestowitz-TR then paying with CC might be OK [09:44] schestowitz-TR so we need to draw lines in the sand [09:44] schestowitz-TR and limit how much is known about us and who to [09:44] schestowitz-TR email is not secure, esp. when reponding to gmail accounts [09:44] schestowitz-TR those accounts aren't just plain text but actively scanned for contents both ways [09:44] schestowitz-TR for commercial reasons and more [09:46] Techrightssec When flying, one has to pay $85 to get even a modicum of the dignity that [09:46] Techrightssec was afforded travellers prior to Little Bush. It's hard for people to believe [09:46] Techrightssec now, even if they are old enough to have experienced it, but flyers were once [09:46] Techrightssec treated as valued customers rather than as captive opponents and criminals [09:46] Techrightssec Not just scanned, it seems that URLs are followed as well. [09:49] schestowitz-TR shorly after microsoft stashed skype in NSA PRISM the H (heise) noted that in "private" chats in skype URLs [09:49] schestowitz-TR were not only followed but more was done (I forgot the details; is site still offline? was it [09:49] schestowitz-TR brought back permanently after the protests?) [09:49] schestowitz-TR the editor of The H pretty much vanished [09:49] schestowitz-TR I followed his personal blog for a while, but it was never quite functional [09:49] schestowitz-TR "morgan" was in the surname iirc [09:49] schestowitz-TR fabsh also vanished [09:49] schestowitz-TR tried to do podcasting for a while after linuxnews, linux outlaws and The H gig [09:49] schestowitz-TR they re-allocated him to cover some windows crapo [09:49] schestowitz-TR for heise [09:49] schestowitz-TR which he was not happy with [09:49] schestowitz-TR now he's history like matt hartley, whose comebacks keep failing [09:50] Techrightssec There are several problems with that activity, especially if the link happens [09:50] Techrightssec to be a one-off activation link :( [09:50] Techrightssec http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Microsoft-gave-NSA-s-PRISM-access-to-Skype-Outlook-com-and-SkyDrive-1916730.html [09:50] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.h-online.com | Microsoft gave NSA's PRISM access to Skype, Outlook.com and SkyDrive - The H Security: News and Features [09:52] schestowitz-TR 'wrong' link [09:52] schestowitz-TR iirc, they 'broke' the story about microsoft following urls and more [09:52] schestowitz-TR in skype [09:52] schestowitz-TR so the site is still online at least [09:52] schestowitz-TR unlike angrypenguin (bought and buried), linuxelectron and hundress of others [09:52] schestowitz-TR nobody can recall even existed [09:52] schestowitz-TR back when the www was a lot bigger [09:52] schestowitz-TR and hence better s/n ratio [09:52] schestowitz-TR now the spamfarm it is now [09:52] schestowitz-TR *not [09:53] Techrightssec Many have been shut down.

Hence diet, sleep, medical care. Schneier has a book coming next year, but he blogs [10:06] schestowitz-TR only one liners; he was a lot more active in the past. Doctorow limits himself to an article a day; in [10:06] schestowitz-TR sites like boingboing he was very prolific) [10:06] schestowitz-TR RMS has something important to say less than once a month [10:06] schestowitz-TR and Lunduke is speaking about Lunduke [10:06] schestowitz-TR but hardly ever dealing with any important topic, nor does what's left of "tech media" [10:06] schestowitz-TR that last one creates a crisis, as there are no "leads" to follow [10:06] schestowitz-TR so not much for blogs or for web forums (of various kinds) to act on [10:09] Techrightssec ack [10:09] Techrightssec Moshe Barr wrote in BYTE shortly before it shut down a lot about his new [10:09] Techrightssec baby, new motorcycle, and various other time-intensive things. Then some [10:09] Techrightssec months later, he wrote that he was honestly puzzled why he could not code [10:09] Techrightssec at the levels he used to.
