schestowitz-TR2you want me to double check that when posting and updating things seem sane, right?Sep 13 08:31
Techrights-secYes, thanksSep 13 08:31
Techrights-secIt /should/ be ok, but a second set of eyes is essential. Sep 13 08:31
schestowitz-TR2I wanted to ask,Sep 13 08:32
schestowitz-TR2[08:29] <techrights-news> Notice how SJVN and OIN refuse or fail to speak about software patents as the issue, they blame "trolls". IBM, Microsoft, LF etc. are not against software patents; watch who they collect bribes from!Sep 13 08:32
schestowitz-TR2is this something to cover in article/video?Sep 13 08:33
schestowitz-TR2SJVN is swpats shillSep 13 08:33
schestowitz-TR2I thought I'd just ignore himSep 13 08:33
schestowitz-TR2he and zdnet pushing the oin lineSep 13 08:33
schestowitz-TR2they are in another universeSep 13 08:33
Techrights-secI think so, since they are consciously choosing to promote software patentsSep 13 08:33
Techrights-secthrough selective omission.  That implies misdirection if not downright    Sep 13 08:33
Techrights-secdishonesty.Sep 13 08:33
schestowitz-TR2let's wait a day and see if there are follow-upsSep 13 08:34
schestowitz-TR2or a better angle from which to tackle thisSep 13 08:34
schestowitz-TR2they cancel people who actually talk about the real issueSep 13 08:34
schestowitz-TR2and real solutions to the issuesSep 13 08:34
schestowitz-TR2they want to pretend ICBM will be our allySep 13 08:34

Techrights-secThe one link with the transcript provides that information but a few words or aSep 13 08:44
Techrights-seccouple of lines of summary would help greatly.Sep 13 08:44
Techrights-secHint: CAsSep 13 08:44
schestowitz-TR2sometimes I make errorsSep 13 08:49
schestowitz-TR2if judged not to be too huge, I don't try to undoSep 13 08:49
schestowitz-TR2because last time I tried it caused chaos on my home networkSep 13 08:49

Techrights-secackSep 13 08:54
schestowitz-TR2btw, I spent a lot of time recipe huntingSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2I realise I really suck at cookingSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2but then again we live in a generation like thatSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2imagine getting "that was tasty" instead of "you got a like"Sep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2I remember when mothers cookedSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2now the mothers are like kidsSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2with their "smart" phones and selfiesSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2I found no obvious errors in the capsuleSep 13 09:01
schestowitz-TR2---Sep 13 09:03
schestowitz-TR2I think the media now teaches both men and womewn that cooking is a sign of weakenessSep 13 09:03
schestowitz-TR2and they should instead be consumeers of processed foods with preservativesSep 13 09:03
schestowitz-TR2somer of which can contribute to trumour cellSep 13 09:03
schestowitz-TR2*tumourSep 13 09:03
schestowitz-TR2we spoke about it yesterday in relation to an auntSep 13 09:03
schestowitz-TR2--Sep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2I've just made copy of the irc lines re sjvnSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2sometimes instead of scripting I just think about the issues for a whileSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2like in the kitchenSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2and then the arguments come out a little betterSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2after thinking them overSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2maybe more links will become availableSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2I have not kept track of patent news in a while and not much is missedSep 13 09:08
schestowitz-TR2as journalism there too is stagnant or non-existentSep 13 09:08
Techrights-secChecking linksSep 13 09:09
schestowitz-TR2road-ahead sign: irc a bit noisy this week, I've decided to look away a little moreSep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2until it resettlesSep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2it's often like this when matey becomes active and people respondSep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2I am improving the layout here and writing some tiny toolsSep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2when the new setup is in place we can produce more suitably for the 2023 eraSep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2regarding trend ocean,  I 'll monitor his "content" for a week maybe Sep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2perhaps we can then decide what to doSep 13 09:13
Techrights-secNotice the tabloids ridicule Andrew but avoid mentioning whySep 13 09:13
Techrights-secackSep 13 09:13
schestowitz-TR2tabloids are always full of itSep 13 09:16
schestowitz-TR2I just ignore themSep 13 09:16
schestowitz-TR2sometimes I look at the covers for a laugh when rianne pays for food and I wait aroundSep 13 09:16
schestowitz-TR2all in all, the culture here is still good; the target audience of tabloids is typicallySep 13 09:16
schestowitz-TR2the 'lower' class, to put it politelySep 13 09:16
schestowitz-TR2being in the underclass somewhere like iceland might be no better than being among the elites in macao or lagos or some other "rich island"Sep 13 09:22
schestowitz-TR2the uk caused suffering inwards and outwards and used booze inwards (opium outwards) to soften ... looking for another words here ... the massesSep 13 09:22
schestowitz-TR2class here is still a thing, but only if you actively socialise.Sep 13 09:22
schestowitz-TR2lull, captivate, hyponotiuse, paralyse... still forgot the word I had in mind...Sep 13 09:22
schestowitz-TR2going for coffee, the word might come back if i don't stare at a monitorSep 13 09:23
Techrights-secpacify?Sep 13 09:30
Techrights-secThe global smartphone market looks like the new Opium WarsSep 13 09:30
schestowitz-TR2yes!Sep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2or neutralise, hypnotise, zombifySep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2the last is apt a term for "smart" phone Sep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2I didn't know about opium wars until 10 years agoSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2many orgs that used to fight for civil rights become corporate pacifiersSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2like oinSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2worse, Sep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2a) opium did not report back on the subjectSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2b) opium needs cultivating, farming, transportingSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2c) the age for opium is typically higherSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2...Sep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2people no longer garden for food nor can they cook anythingSep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2making them a lot more dependent on the "supply chain"Sep 13 09:35
schestowitz-TR2as noteed earlierSep 13 09:35

Techrights-secIt does share the characteristics of pacification and neutralization, however.Sep 13 09:36
Techrights-secYes, it hits them before their teens.  See some of the health articles aboutSep 13 09:36

Techrights-secIn some areas, I have heard, that the new houses and apartments, and renovatedSep 13 09:36
Techrights-secones, are basically made without kitchens.Sep 13 09:36
*starstreak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)Sep 13 09:38
schestowitz-TR2yes, people now pay rent the same as before but for low-quality aparthotel or small hotel roomSep 13 09:38
schestowitz-TR2not studio per seSep 13 09:38
schestowitz-TR2but just a fridgeSep 13 09:38
schestowitz-TR2no kitchenSep 13 09:38
schestowitz-TR2it has a "dining area" (read: table)Sep 13 09:38
Techrights-secThe weird ones are the sites where the kitchens and kitchenettes are removedSep 13 09:43
Techrights-secduring "renovation"Sep 13 09:43
schestowitz-TR2I'm sure they make up for it with referctories;-)Sep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2cooking takes a loit of timeSep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2but it's the different between dying young or oldSep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2and spending 200-300 ppm or just 50-50Sep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2*150Sep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2working harder kills, tooSep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2more financial demands => shorter lifeSep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2"PLEASE INSERT COINS"Sep 13 09:46
schestowitz-TR2regarding the link you sent about self-hosting emailSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2there is a middle groundSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2a shared account with webhost outside the homeSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2that lets you manage everything from within your domainSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2on a shared IP adressSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2they handle the address reputationSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2and even inform you if there is a scatterbackSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2email is not encryptedSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2very few people will be able to send AND receive encrypted mail from youSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2so the argument about privacy hardly holdsSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2at work, a colleague bragged email was on encrypted file systemSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2I reminded him we outsourced to AWSSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2and never encrypt email even though 12 years ago I did try to suggest itSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2he bought a $1,000 steel doorSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2but left the window wide openSep 13 09:54
schestowitz-TR2===Sep 13 10:00
schestowitz-TR2there is a solution to all this: avoid email, whenever possible. or be passive about them. I think I now average 2 outgoing emails per daySep 13 10:00
schestowitz-TR2the temptation is further reduce (or the incentive) when you only open it twice a day and only go through unknown sources or origins once a week or lessSep 13 10:00
schestowitz-TR2voice chat is a tricky one but avoiding personal topics makes sense, as not everything said out aloud is recorded (knowingly or unknowingly) or typed downSep 13 10:00
schestowitz-TR2the coundaries are blurred by those listening devices, which are now advertsed using gimmicks like "can recognise voice/accent/language"Sep 13 10:00
schestowitz-TR2which means scanning of the audio content, turning it into text, as a 'feature'... ti "improve your experience"Sep 13 10:00
schestowitz-TR2to the media this should all be "common ssnse", but it seldom warns people. regarding phonecalls, one should assume that what's feasible is done at all Sep 13 10:12
schestowitz-TR2times, but then talks over the phone would get dry and platonic, even business calls. they want people to become "open books"Sep 13 10:13
Techrights-secAmazon, Google, and Apple have a multitude of "smart", always-on microphonesSep 13 10:16
Techrights-secreporting back to HQ 24/7 from many people's homes and most people's pockets.Sep 13 10:16
schestowitz-TR2don't forget "meta" ;-)Sep 13 10:17
schestowitz-TR2microsoft tried also, but it's a distant 6th or 10th...Sep 13 10:17
schestowitz-TR2linkedin is failing (more layoffs)Sep 13 10:18
schestowitz-TR2what were they thinking?Sep 13 10:18
schestowitz-TR2I wanted to say something else about eavesdropping but forgot. it was not so important anyway.Sep 13 10:18
schestowitz-TR2the "smart" car hype rapidly gets descriobed as a fad in the mediaSep 13 10:18
schestowitz-TR2inc. EVsSep 13 10:18
schestowitz-TR2esp. now with energy shortagesSep 13 10:18
schestowitz-TR2if you can teach even a dozen people something related to techSep 13 10:20
schestowitz-TR2and those (each) teach another dozen the same, then the impact is thereSep 13 10:20
schestowitz-TR2I wish FSF wrote more articlesSep 13 10:20
schestowitz-TR2their advocacy has been muted and "meetings" in IRC have very limited reachSep 13 10:20
schestowitz-TR2they also lost a lot of audience, which did not migrate frdom ffeenode to cancelnodeSep 13 10:20
Techrights-secTheir move to "cancel node" was unwise, especially since there was a primeSep 13 10:31
Techrights-secopportunity to showcase the benefits of self-hosting.  Sep 13 10:31
schestowitz-TR2not to sound pushy or anything,Sep 13 10:35
schestowitz-TR2is the image uploader considered ready for production given its successful use for a whole, sans animated gifs?Sep 13 10:35
schestowitz-TR2in zfs quotes are needed or removal or trailing "?crap"Sep 13 10:35
schestowitz-TR2and then again, we thought about integrating it into addSep 13 10:35
schestowitz-TR2and having just changed that process for search, maybe better to first let that new change settle for a few days before introducing another changeSep 13 10:35
schestowitz-TR2rianne is posting pages atmSep 13 10:35
Techrights-secIt is just about ready, as long as animated GIFs are avoided.Sep 13 10:40
schestowitz-TR2I will add an aliad for rianne and marius laterSep 13 10:41
schestowitz-TR2marius later, rianne nowSep 13 10:41

schestowitz-TR2[11:58] <techrights-news> Normal people: folks who say toddlers should be told about sex are sick perverts. NPR: Bill Gates pays us. We should give a platform to those "sick perverts".Sep 13 12:11

schestowitz-TR2<techrights-news> Code of Conduct (CoC) is a very old concept. It's an ENABLER OF CRIMES. http://techrights.org/2017/12/30/genesis-of-battistelli-code-of-conduct/Sep 13 13:17

schestowitz-TR2<techrights-news> It's not at all a coincidence that CoCs are most vigorously promoted by those who are salaried by the most heinous criminals in the world. They're protecting the criminals from critics. The sad thing is, most of them don't realise the extent to which they're being used. It's NOT about protecting minorities but about protecting the powerful.Sep 13 13:17
