[06:38] schestowitz-TR and, if so, can we promote these and should we? [06:38] schestowitz-TR the web became a lot worse than mainstream broadcast [06:39] schestowitz-TR in that it divides people, spreads lies, both for cranks and for oligarchs [06:39] schestowitz-TR broadcast TV at least tried to keep sociwety together; same for radio [06:39] Techrights-sec2 the search engines have become bottlenecks for the WWW [06:39] Techrights-sec2 the only alternative would be to build a new search engine and that [06:39] Techrights-sec2 requires massive, costly infrastructure. It'd basically mean running one's [06:39] Techrights-sec2 own data center just to get started, and you can be sure that M$ and Google [06:39] Techrights-sec2 will do all in their power to prevent a new search engine from gaining market [06:39] Techrights-sec2 share [06:40] schestowitz-TR china dns russia tried, to name two large nations (baidu, yandex), but they are being outspent by a country 31,000 billion in debt. [06:41] Techrights-sec2 yes good points about radio and television, they also made a point about [06:41] Techrights-sec2 sticking to facts, at least pre-Newsmax, pre-FauxNews days. Now [06:41] Techrights-sec2 too much is about opinions (sides). [06:41] Techrights-sec2 yandex is gone baidu never was [06:41] Techrights-sec2 ddg was a fraund or sham [06:41] Techrights-sec2 startpage is underpowered [06:43] schestowitz-TR startpage is NOT a search engine [06:43] schestowitz-TR it's an imposter [06:43] schestowitz-TR the same company, system1, also scooped up the old search brands, inc. ones I liked and used like webcrawler [06:43] schestowitz-TR tell me when you see ddg and startpage bots in our logs ;-) ;-) [06:43] schestowitz-TR they inherit the bias, the censorship, from us military contractors that push proprietary software and survewillance [06:43] schestowitz-TR for mopstly imperiaal geopolitical goals, thinly disguised as "science" [06:45] Techrights-sec2 it is that too but even as an imposter it is underpowered [06:45] Techrights-sec2 ack [06:45] schestowitz-TR (of note: rising energy prices threaten the viability of many cpu-intensive companies/operations, never mind supply chain shortages for [06:45] schestowitz-TR equipment, raising demand and prices of such equipment) [06:45] Techrights-sec2 yes [06:45] Techrights-sec2 which is one of the secondary reasons they've been moving datacenters into [06:45] Techrights-sec2 the nordic countries near either hydroelectric stations or nuclear plants or [06:45] Techrights-sec2 both [06:50] schestowitz-TR my pov: ('radical') [06:50] schestowitz-TR f* search engines [06:50] schestowitz-TR they are inefficient and biased [06:50] schestowitz-TR it's like the "crypto" bros [06:50] schestowitz-TR but with a suit and a tie [06:50] schestowitz-TR and cartoons that greet you, or bing "wallpaper of the day" [06:50] schestowitz-TR we need stuff like dmoz [06:50] schestowitz-TR rss [06:50] schestowitz-TR maybe even planets derived from rss [06:50] schestowitz-TR still a lot better than random and biased searches [06:50] schestowitz-TR an index of daily things [06:50] schestowitz-TR where you can scan for patterns [06:50] schestowitz-TR atm we accmulate thousands of gemini links, about 80 each day [06:50] schestowitz-TR later we can run programs on these [06:50] schestowitz-TR and maybe use some algo to organise these by topics [06:50] schestowitz-TR cat /othercapsules/* | cut [get title field] | grep [something witty] [06:50] schestowitz-TR those would take just seconds to run [06:50] schestowitz-TR and can make genre pages [06:50] schestowitz-TR without human intervention of data-mining [06:50] schestowitz-TR that's just to give one example [06:50] schestowitz-TR not the DMOZ approach [06:50] schestowitz-TR DMOZ itself was curated by humans, which meant bias of a different kind [06:50] schestowitz-TR many wanted desperattely to be in DMOZ and PageRank was partly calculated based on DMOZ status, IIRC [06:51] Techrights-sec2 the problem is not just daily discovery but location and retrieval of documents [06:51] Techrights-sec2 which are many years old [06:51] Techrights-sec2 Yahoo was too, until it was targeted by M$ and destroyed by a minion [06:53] schestowitz-TR finding older documents is already possible, BUT [06:53] schestowitz-TR few use the correct tools [06:53] schestowitz-TR such as PubMed [06:53] schestowitz-TR the kids are taught "just gulag it" or "gulag is your friend" [06:53] schestowitz-TR so they choose to go through a middleman and filter [06:53] schestowitz-TR which is not good [06:53] schestowitz-TR sites do have search facilities, ours included [06:53] schestowitz-TR tuxmachines and wordpress searches are quite decent [06:53] schestowitz-TR mediawiki search is not so decent, but maybe that improved [06:53] Techrights-sec2 I disagree, it is all but impossible to find older documents especially if they [06:53] Techrights-sec2 are more than a few years old [06:53] Techrights-sec2 Google does not have the older documents or else refuses to show them, [06:53] Techrights-sec2 even when one is going after a known item [06:53] Techrights-sec2 Being trained to go through the filter is only about getting them to accept [06:53] Techrights-sec2 the culling that Google does and inure them to further censorship in additional [06:54] Techrights-sec2 forms [06:55] schestowitz-TR I don't diagree, I think we say most the same things in different ways [06:55] schestowitz-TR another observation is, the incentive to make good cms-level search is reduced by the fact that [06:56] schestowitz-TR few people bother with them [06:56] schestowitz-TR on android, starting point is often so-called 'search' or "OK Gulag" (record my surroundings and listen to my mind, hear me out, yo!) [06:56] schestowitz-TR so PubMed and similar sites are beholden to the beast in pe4ople's pockets [06:56] Techrights-sec2 yes the CMS-level searches are poorly implemented and use plain strings [06:56] Techrights-sec2 rather than stemming or other linguistic tricks; thus they tend to steer [06:56] Techrights-sec2 sites to Google instead but Google will not index their whole site :/ [06:57] schestowitz http://schestowitz.com/iuron/ [06:57] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com | Iuron - Semantic Knowledge Engine [06:57] schestowitz 2005, it was a hot topic back then [06:59] schestowitz-TR we've moved not into semantics but brute force with map-reduce [06:59] schestowitz-TR also, we might want to point out environmental footprints [06:59] schestowitz-TR to get people off these platforms [06:59] schestowitz-TR that worked against "crypto" bros [06:59] schestowitz-TR Amazon keeps its DC locations secret [06:59] schestowitz-TR so we don't know the full extent of the pollution [06:59] schestowitz-TR or the inventories indoors [06:59] schestowitz-TR gemini reduces the waste at server and client side ● Jun 19 [07:00] Techrights-sec2 there was also YaCy [07:00] Techrights-sec2 client-side javascript is an environmental disaster [07:00] Techrights-sec2 yes gemini is good in that respect and in other areas too [07:02] schestowitz-TR yacy = chicken and egg problem [07:02] schestowitz-TR also, js makes crawling the web hard if not impossible [07:02] schestowitz-TR maybe harder than crawling flash [07:02] schestowitz-TR with activescript and js you cannot even LINK to some pertinent bits [07:02] schestowitz-TR thw whole concept of interlinked pages breaks down [07:02] schestowitz-TR with "for each x there's a file" [07:02] schestowitz-TR or "each thing you read is an address or "id" [07:04] Techrights-sec2 that is one of the intended side effects of js, imho [07:04] Techrights-sec2 yep [07:04] Techrights-sec2 s/breaks down/is prevented/ [07:04] Techrights-sec2 similar for the addictive infinite scrolling pages those are f-ing useless [07:04] Techrights-sec2 for anything other than wasting time in an interactive session [07:04] schestowitz-TR we should explain to people, "look..."

    [10:32] schestowitz

    The very first major text adventure game, Colossal Cave Adventure, is 46 years old this year. And, with the 3D re-make (by the legendary Ken and Roberta Williams, founders of Sierra) around the corner now seems like a great time to revisit the original classic.

    [10:32] schestowitz

    Wether you are new to Colossal Cave Adventure (often simply called adventure or ADVENT), or have simply not played it in some time, below you will find everything you need to experience the game in the most ultimate way possible.

    My main big reasons to use a GNU/Linux open-source system evolved a bit from the origins, it is now split into four reasons:

    [10:33] schestowitz

    Independence (no one have a control on what I watch, what I use and how I use it).

    Technology (performance, scripting, standards).

    Transparency (open-source: you can investigate any parts).

    Control of my data and privacy (I don't want companies to influence my behavior threw targeted adv).
