[09:11] Techrights-sec THey push out almost no content, and what content they do push is utter crap [09:11] Techrights-sec so both factors drive peope away. [09:17] schestowitz-TR atm, imo, we need to get MORE people involved in responding to the BS [09:17] schestowitz-TR because if eough people cause their shame [09:17] schestowitz-TR they either cdhange [09:17] schestowitz-TR or suit [09:17] schestowitz-TR both are good outcome [09:17] schestowitz-TR in the long wer can do ok because we cover things nobody else covers [09:17] schestowitz-TR and which need to be covered [09:17] schestowitz-TR 8 years ago i told rms that trolling against him had subsided somewhat [09:17] schestowitz-TR the technical and legal arguments were strong [09:17] schestowitz-TR things like don't use github (2015) [09:17] schestowitz-TR so they move to create some straw man [09:17] schestowitz-TR spinning a pro-ethics person as objectionable, [09:18] Techrights-sec yes more people pushing back helps, a difficultly there is that there are no [09:18] Techrights-sec open forums for discussion. /. was crushed reddet was fucked from day 1, etc. [09:18] Techrights-sec Yes, shills and astroturfers have been used against RMS and others. [09:33] Techrights-sec use of strawmen and other forms of distraction is very, very common [09:35] schestowitz-TR i used to hypothesise how i too can be targeted by this [09:35] schestowitz-TR yearsd ago i told rianne theyy can make something up about women;s issues [09:35] schestowitz-TR which did happen years later [09:35] schestowitz-TR i can think of 3 hypothetical lines of attack [09:35] Techrights-sec :( [09:35] Techrights-sec They'll complain about what ever they can get to stick, real or imagined [09:36] schestowitz http://techrights.org/2021/03/05/google-funded-trolls/ [09:36] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Professional Troll Matthew Garrett Spreads Libel, Defamation and Slander About the Free Software Community to Entertain Microsoft and Friends | Techrights ● Feb 14 [11:16] Techrights-sec ack ● Feb 14 [13:23] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@joseon-rmogvn.g0d7.dtdf.mc4289.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [13:24] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@7hnksqkvhrvj2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Feb 14 [15:10] *verbose (~verbose@xm5z894qxaqia.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [15:58] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Connection closed) [15:58] *u-amarsh04 has quit (connection closed) ● Feb 14 [19:07] Techrights-sec I added some timeouts and shorted the old ones in gemini-cron-updater.sh and [19:07] Techrights-sec that seems to have dealt with the lockfile problem finally. It looks like [19:07] Techrights-sec some of the parts of the script were taking *way* too long to interact with [19:07] Techrights-sec TR over HTTP. [19:07] schestowitz-TR a lot of that boils down to traffic shaping, which prioritises gemini afaik [19:17] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Feb 14 [21:41] *psydroid3 has quit (connection closed) ● Feb 14 [23:10] *verbose has quit (Quit: WeeChat 3.0) [23:24] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [23:26] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [23:28] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@joseon-rmogvn.g0d7.dtdf.mc4289.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [23:28] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@7hnksqkvhrvj2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
