| schestowitz-TR | this would be a problem for people who read onlyn summary but not gemini users | Jan 16 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | in gemini they see headlines | Jan 16 04:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | having said that, above can also b the title os post | Jan 16 04:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems they timed layoff for day after mlk day | Jan 16 04:24 |
| techrigthssec | ack | Jan 16 04:37 |
| techrigthssec | The summary could summarize that however? ;) | Jan 16 04:37 |
| techrigthssec | Running the de-javascripting script today over the archived tm gallery archive | Jan 16 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks for that | Jan 16 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've put a draft in while video processes | Jan 16 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw: gemini clocked ~75k reqs in past 3 days | Jan 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | did not check what hoards pages | Jan 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | posts about layoffs still top the list | Jan 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I am happy about as it means people from inside Mirosoft read TR | Jan 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | like EPO examiners reading about the issues with the patent systems | Jan 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | when employees of X read TR, it is bad for management and agenda of X | Jan 16 04:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | X= EPO, Microsoft, Sirius... | Jan 16 04:58 |
| techrigthssec | Five of the top 8 are about M$ layoffs, the others are feeds and the main page | Jan 16 04:59 |
| techrigthssec | etc | Jan 16 04:59 |
| techrigthssec | The Edda Franz post is #10 | Jan 16 04:59 |
| techrigthssec | gemini://gemini.techrights.org/stats/ | Jan 16 04:59 |
| techrigthssec | but that's from a longer period than the last three days | Jan 16 04:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if just 10% of them become demoralised, that can already drive positive change | Jan 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's not easy getting there | Jan 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | because there are typically preventive, proactove ad hom attacks on person/site | Jan 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | russia uses that in a dirty way to sir up violence and hatred in europe and elsewhere | Jan 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | here, it's corporate | Jan 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | *stir | Jan 16 05:02 |
| techrigthssec | Unfortunately most of the recent traffic seems to be from 'vulpes.one' | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | Microsofters don't change their spots just because Bill has kicked them to | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | the curb. They'll still be operatives for the larger cult until having | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | a deep introspective look and repenting sincerely, or else captured and | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | actively deprogrammed as per other cults. | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | I'm betting that the former is a rare event and that Washington state is | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | unwilling to shell out the money to do the latter, even if it had the backbone | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | to go against a local political donor of that size. | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | Furthermore most probably will be tricked or pressured into signing both | Jan 16 05:07 |
| techrigthssec | NDAs and broad non-disparagement clauses in their separation "agreements" | Jan 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, them "just leaving" to get a bigger salary elsewhere (e.g. Google) won't solve the issue | Jan 16 05:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to see more Lewises who turn against Microsoft | Jan 16 05:08 |
| techrigthssec | Yes, very much so. | Jan 16 05:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | that depends on what divison/project they worked on | Jan 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is still a (too) large company | Jan 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure how to consistently make money | Jan 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | as "monopoly rents" egg away and the product is financialisation | Jan 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and graft | Jan 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | *ebb | Jan 16 05:10 |
| techrigthssec | They subsist on monopoly rents and almost none of the population understands | Jan 16 05:12 |
| techrigthssec | that. The money is not from the "sale" of Windows, it is from the monopoly | Jan 16 05:12 |
| techrigthssec | rents enabled by the OEM monopoly. Likewise, the money is not from the "sale" | Jan 16 05:12 |
| techrigthssec | of MSO, it is from the monopoly rents enabled by the monopoly over productivity | Jan 16 05:12 |
| techrigthssec | software file formats. Thus projects like "OnlyOffice" are exercises in | Jan 16 05:12 |
| techrigthssec | futility as long as they fail to push an open standard like ODF and instead | Jan 16 05:12 |
| techrigthssec | chase m$ ever-changing, undocumented, proprietary formats. | Jan 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | draft | Jan 16 05:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have begun writing some of the later terms in more general terms that might strike a nrve | Jan 16 05:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | at a later point there will be a lengthy summary of the points covered | Jan 16 05:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and what advice I can give based on my personal experience | Jan 16 05:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't intend to get back into this _kind_ of job | Jan 16 05:14 |
| techrigthssec | Excellent | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | Good point | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | Though some kind of other job can provide a good baseline or interaction outsideof advocacy. It in and of itself | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | would provide localized outreach but also | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | experience of how others are interacting with technology and their viewpoints | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | and challenges. | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | However, your /average/ person has worse than zero knowledge of ICT and actually | Jan 16 05:18 |
| techrigthssec | believe and propagate misinformation about the services they are being used by. | Jan 16 05:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | i am guessing some companies or unis move to microsoft | Jan 16 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | when things fail microsot pushes them MORE microsoft | Jan 16 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | to "prove" it'll work | Jan 16 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | if only everything ran on Microsoft | Jan 16 05:19 |
| techrigthssec | Yes. The problem is always that there wasn't sufficient faith in m$ and that | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | is always solved by buying TheNextVersion(tm) and MOAR of it. For decades the | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | cycle has been the same, it'd work if only they could achieve 100% m$ integration. Once that happens, the target | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | goal posts move, and it would work if only they | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | could purhcase TheNextVersion, and if that happens before they run out of | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | money then the goals posts move again. At that point it becomes, it'd work | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | if only they had the right m$ training. Then by that time, the $TheNextVersion | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | has become $ThePreviousVersion and that part of the cycle starts again. And | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | yes they still blame outright collapses on "Linux people" and your average | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | worker agrees to believe that excuse. | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | Since you mention the divisions enhanced and exploited by the Kremlin, the | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | presence of m$ in the univerisities could be part of that since it severly | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | impairs both learning, teaching, and research in both the short term and | Jan 16 05:25 |
| techrigthssec | the long term, but especially the latter. | Jan 16 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | mind if I quote or paraphrase the msft example? | Jan 16 05:26 |
| techrigthssec | Jan 16 05:30 | |
| techrigthssec | Paraphrasing is better if possible | Jan 16 05:30 |
| techrigthssec | low quality hot takes don;t make good quotes unless polished substantiallly | Jan 16 05:30 |
| techrigthssec | The problem is not new, it goes back to the 1990s. But for a recent example | Jan 16 05:30 |
| techrigthssec | look at Aaron Swartz's blog post about CondeNast and why he had no choice but | Jan 16 05:30 |
| techrigthssec | to walk out the door and not look back. | Jan 16 05:30 |
