| schestowitz-TR | Just opened the envelope | Dec 12 18:45 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | very, very nice | Dec 12 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will ready it a secondt time, this time a lot more slowly, some time tomorrow | Dec 12 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I often wonder what it is like to live in a sort of isolated place, as a friend sort of did (we visited this past summer)... but I suppose that just like the war in general-purpose computing there will be attempts to metaphorically herd people | Dec 12 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | the speed with which it arrived was a surprise | Dec 12 18:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have 70 unread items left in IRC for patents. tonight 3 posts piled up already for sweden. let me know of any article ideas... I have more spare time than I anticipated this morening | Dec 12 18:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, phoronix did not mention Microsoft lately, and I have reasons to suspect we have the ntended effect | Dec 12 18:49 |
| Techrights-sec | That's good , Phoronix had been a good site and would only lose its reader base | Dec 12 18:51 |
| Techrights-sec | by sucking up to Redmond. In exchange for selling out he would not gain | Dec 12 18:51 |
| Techrights-sec | the traffic from any microsofters. | Dec 12 18:51 |
| Techrights-sec | So it was a losing proposition even if it looked like money at first. | Dec 12 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is a saying along the lines of, not sure of original or language of origin | Dec 12 18:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | it takexs x to gain credibility and [less than x[ to lose it | Dec 12 18:52 |
| Techrights-sec | yep | Dec 12 18:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | michael is so bruised in the eyes of many in techrights irc | Dec 12 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne is less forgiving them me (years ago she was already furious at SJVN) and she says no poit sneding traffic again to larabel as he is not predictable and cannot be trusted | Dec 12 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | sorry for typos | Dec 12 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | you know what I meant | Dec 12 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, I should type in IRC first, then copy across | Dec 12 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | tuxmachines was, according to alexa, sending biggest traffic source for larabel | Dec 12 18:55 |
| Techrights-sec | I'd say its' worth watching the situation and seeing if he recovers his | Dec 12 18:55 |
| Techrights-sec | form and if so only then link to him again. | Dec 12 18:55 |
| *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Dec 12 18:57 | |
| schestowitz-TR | serious question | Dec 12 19:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I no longer driver | Dec 12 19:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't have smart phone | Dec 12 19:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | only landline | Dec 12 19:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | how can I write about those risks without coming across as some foolish hypocrite? | Dec 12 19:10 |
| Techrights-sec | Not hypocritical. You successfully avoid the problems you warn about. | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | However, the "smart"phones and the surveillance engines in everyting else | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | are harder to avoid. I know someone in the US who bought and installed | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Amazon's Ring (tm) "doorbell" and didn't give a shit about any of the | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | technical shortcomings let alone the privacy disaster it embodies. | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | So the issue is not hypocracy but distance from the average slob in regards | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | to views and experiences. Some whine about wages yet at the same time | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | exploit slave labor like Wolt or Doordash or whatever. Another showed the map | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | of his house, via his smartphone, drawn by the vacuum cleaner which feeds | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | all data back to HQ for processing. The map and control over the device | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | are crumbs in exchange for the data, yet because the map was "on" the phone | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | and the phone never leaves his person it is seen as secure. | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Others are all in WhatsApp and Instagram yet claim they never use Facebook, being uninterested in that. Further | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | more, they like the others, they respond that | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | they never send anything to the net even though it all goes through Instagram | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | or WhatsApp. For them, it is "on" their phones... | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | So the common theme is that none of them have even an inkling about how the | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | systems and devices work and where and how the data is collected and passed | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | around. | Dec 12 19:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | some of these things I did not know. So I guess being repetitive and explaining these points is the latest one can do, seeing that govs won't put an end to it because they benefit from the collection and even subsidise this | Dec 12 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | For the rest it is as Max Schrems calls forced consent. There are no choices | Dec 12 19:22 |
| Techrights-sec | if one gets a phone, a tv, a car, or any number of products these days, | Dec 12 19:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | in most situations there is still a choice, but the window of escape is closing fast and there is penalty for non-adopters | Dec 12 19:23 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Dec 12 19:26 | |
| schestowitz-TR | what other outreach method? | Dec 12 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | wiki? | Dec 12 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | articles? | Dec 12 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | in my very narrow poov, the idea goes like this | Dec 12 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | start with an ieda | Dec 12 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | get clueful people to read it | Dec 12 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, offline, they will pass on the message | Dec 12 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | or online but not directly | Dec 12 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | There is also the challenge of re-decentralization which goes against the | Dec 12 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | push by GAFAM to eliminate the last of the small and medium sized players. | Dec 12 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | The question about certificates is not a technical matter but of one about | Dec 12 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | which institutions are allowed to vouch for a CA. | Dec 12 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF does the same now for "apps" | Dec 12 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | with sigstore | Dec 12 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | or whatever gulag and ibm call it | Dec 12 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF fronts for them | Dec 12 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you are talking about doing the same as they do on there www but to binaries | Dec 12 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, at x86 level with uefi they attempoted to leverage monopoly/monoculkture for "trust" | Dec 12 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | mode, controlled by Microsoft, for OS you boot | Dec 12 19:31 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that would be another | Dec 12 19:31 |
| Techrights-sec | example. Also the "app" store don't actually vet the software other than to | Dec 12 19:31 |
| Techrights-sec | ensure that no independent repositories are allowed to survive. | Dec 12 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | generally speaking, I miantain that highest "bang for the buck" pub-wise is Daily Links | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | as there is never enough time to cover everything but linking to | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | those who have put in the effort helps both them and the readers | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I doi wonder if there is room for technical work that somehow makes the | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | assemlage of these links more usable, e.g. some ways of correlating stories, also | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | across days, based on themes and such | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I like how in lagrange the Dailyt Links posts | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | are shows with categories along the left, based on headings | Dec 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a bookmark | Dec 12 19:35 |
| Techrights-sec | Cataloging the stories would be a whole separate task ... | Dec 12 19:37 |
| Techrights-sec | It would be very very useful to do so, but probably consume twice again as much | Dec 12 19:37 |
| Techrights-sec | time as collecting and collating the links in the first place. Plus | Dec 12 19:37 |
| Techrights-sec | cataloging is rather though intensive. Most of all, consistency is the | Dec 12 19:37 |
| Techrights-sec | essential factor and that means having as few people as possible work on the | Dec 12 19:37 |
| Techrights-sec | task over time, since even with collaborators, there is little overlap. | Dec 12 19:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | the overlap agrow and will grow as news runs dry. already, for foss, half of what you sent me I included already | Dec 12 19:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | ;-) | Dec 12 19:37 |
| Techrights-sec | So one cannot achieve perfect accuiracy just consisitency. | Dec 12 19:39 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes as lamented over the last few years, the news really is drying up more and | Dec 12 19:39 |
| Techrights-sec | more. There are really only a few good, relevant articles per day at most. On | Dec 12 19:39 |
| Techrights-sec | some days, there are even fewer. Friday through Monday, for example, are quite | Dec 12 19:39 |
| Techrights-sec | empty. | Dec 12 19:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | except in india | Dec 12 19:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | shifting to a more relevant point in 20013-14 I lacked time to cover stories so I experimented with turning FOSS News Picks into mini stories. That was still time consuming, basically short articles (like bruce Scheier) with a long list of references at the bottom | Dec 12 19:41 |
| Techrights-sec | The Indian sites have material but it is a very small percentage of the actual | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | articles, and a lot to wade through. | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | People are getting boxed in regarding choice of products and the loss of control | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | ushered in with the new devices. Schrems covers some of the web sites, but | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | while that is going on online, there is a far worse situation happening | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | around /everyone/ in the physical world. Everything has at least a microcontro | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | ller in it. USB-C cables are computers... | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | whereas USB-A cables were simply wires. | Dec 12 19:44 |
| Techrights-sec | As for the list of references, I would highly recommend a reference database | Dec 12 19:46 |
| Techrights-sec | Zotero is good in principle but has a terrible and inefficient interface. | Dec 12 19:46 |
| Techrights-sec | I use WordPresss | Dec 12 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec | failing that, GulagSearch | Dec 12 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec | in the web era, refs is just a url or url+title pair | Dec 12 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec | in articles I always include both, even if in the body of an article | Dec 12 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec | it makes it easier to locate artiocles when they vanish years later | Dec 12 19:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I use WordPresss | Dec 12 19:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | it makes it easier to locate artiocles when they vanish years later | Dec 12 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec | you were just mentioning adding in keywords, too, the title, URL and summary | Dec 12 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec | can be harvested automatically from the daily links but then adding | Dec 12 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec | a line or two of comments plus keywords (subject headings) can be quite | Dec 12 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec | inconvenient with a bad interface. | Dec 12 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec | Caching the body of the article would be useful too, that can be fetched using | Dec 12 19:50 |
| Techrights-sec | the URL. | Dec 12 19:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | we can do so-called (joking) "big data" and turn the large cache of Daily Links into some new gemini pages, | Dec 12 19:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | just as many wiki pages were in fact derived from site archives | Dec 12 19:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Wiki is difficult and does not scale. | Dec 12 19:51 |
