[04:23] techrights[sec] So it would be less accurate to call M$ Edge a copycat of Chrome and [04:23] techrights[sec] more accurate to call it what it is a derivative of Chromium [04:24] schestowitz-pi chrome is chromium WITH ADDTIONAL malware on top [04:24] schestowitz-pi edge is the same [04:24] schestowitz-pi and the addtional malware is likely worse [04:24] schestowitz-pi the objective is the same [04:24] schestowitz-pi falkon just uses the rendering engine [04:24] schestowitz-pi afaik, it does not add any crap on top [04:24] schestowitz-pi it blocks ads by default, too [04:24] schestowitz-pi they need to remove DDG ● Feb 20 [05:20] schestowitz-TR2 Employers use economic climate to become even more oppressive https://siliconangle.com/2023/02/17/amazon-will-ask-employees-spend-least-three-days-week-office/ | Source: Silicon Angle [05:20] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Amazon will ask employees to spend at least three days a week in the office - SiliconANGLE [05:21] schestowitz-TR2 2020: ok, you can work from home. we don't want to let you rest (from work). 2021: come back, please, come back. 2022: you MUST come back to the office, OR ELSE. 2023: don't come back, we don't need you anymore [05:51] schestowitz-pi going to clean thw whole tank and change the water [05:51] schestowitz-pi as it is not improving and it seems like there is some food rotting [05:51] schestowitz-pi 10 more days till ceremony ● Feb 20 [06:06] schestowitz-pi i do plan to buy some more things soon [06:06] schestowitz-pi for a pet, they are not expensive [06:06] schestowitz-pi and we have big shops near us [06:06] schestowitz-pi i don't want to add more fish when one already swims diagonally [06:06] schestowitz-pi which is... unusual [06:06] schestowitz-pi her body seems healthy thogh, colour, siz [06:08] schestowitz-pi e, fins ● Feb 20 [08:48] *wallacer has quit (connection closed) [08:49] *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Feb 20 [09:51] schestowitz-pi 1) purchase ph test kit,it is about 10 pounds for roughly 30 tests [09:51] schestowitz-pi 2) got 4 danios and some plants [09:51] schestowitz-pi going to test ph in new and old water now ● Feb 20 [10:02] schestowitz-pi 2 zebra, 2 leopard [10:25] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Feb 20 [11:46] schestowitz-pi different topic: while jogging (way to shop) i was thinking youtube might be next [11:46] schestowitz-pi to make compulsory charges like twitter and FB [11:46] schestowitz-pi what for? don't know [11:46] schestowitz-pi but adding lots of ads did not work [11:46] schestowitz-pi they pissed off everyone and revenue went DOWN, not UP [11:46] schestowitz-pi some people thought they had "job security" at gulag's youtube [11:47] schestowitz-pi ailing to grap it changes every yhear and chages a lot every 3 or 5 years [11:47] schestowitz-pi gulag is also notorious for shutting things down, e.g. stadia [11:47] schestowitz-pi imagine developing a game for that. no refund to you. [11:50] techrights[sec] YouTube is too convenient a means of manipulating the public so it is unlikely [11:50] techrights[sec] that they'll close it down or even reduce access much. [11:50] techrights[sec] But they do have a problem in that they have been pissing off and chasing away [11:50] techrights[sec] both their audience and their video producers. [11:50] techrights[sec] Fewer feel that they are obliged to stay on Youtube and are finding other [11:50] techrights[sec] platforms. The other platforms have some of the same problems and some new [11:51] techrights[sec] ones but will last long enough to be a threat to Youtube [11:51] schestowitz-pi correct me if I am wrong: [11:51] schestowitz-pi lbry and its offspring are not p2p like peeetube [11:51] schestowitz-pi or ? [11:51] schestowitz-pi decentralised is at least likely to last longer [11:51] schestowitz-pi like tpb/bittorrent/ipfs [11:52] schestowitz-pi no single point of failure, not even dns [11:52] schestowitz-pi barry kluer just wrote about youtube-dl (or offspring) breaking aagin [11:52] schestowitz-pi i think it's important, so put that in TM front page [11:52] techrights[sec] LBRY has not proven to be viable yet [11:54] schestowitz-pi if it is still techncially and legally/financially reliant on crypto-babble [11:54] schestowitz-pi then it is likely doomed in the long run [11:54] schestowitz-pi btw, the swiss army knife of gulag youtube informal api for videois under attack [11:54] schestowitz-pi many other programs rely/ied on it [11:54] schestowitz-pi maybe even invidious [11:54] schestowitz-pi rianne says many of the more recet videos are not compatible [11:54] schestowitz-pi maybe it's that fake 'drm' thing where you need to visit a url for a token ● Feb 20 [12:11] techrights[sec] s/crypto-babble/cryptocurrency-babble/ [12:11] techrights[sec] Youtube block their videos with loads of unskippable ads, there are often [12:11] techrights[sec] longer ads than the video itself. So, in short, there has been no reason to [12:11] techrights[sec] visit Youtube for many months, except for an occasional video linked to from [12:11] techrights[sec] outside without such ads. Those are rare. [12:14] schestowitz-pi thanks to your code I can get updates on indivious again [12:14] schestowitz-pi i have a cript, url.sh, to convert these to gemini and invidious [12:14] schestowitz-pi for some reason, probably the rss fields I target, i cannot get these feeds [12:14] schestowitz-pi to produce much [12:14] schestowitz-pi either way, a mixture of both works ok [12:14] schestowitz-pi i am still culling some more problematic domains [12:14] schestowitz-pi some of them came from thunderbird [12:14] schestowitz-pi and can be over a decade old [12:40] techrights[sec] np [12:40] techrights[sec] feeds tend to be low yield anyway but at least the script streamlines that [12:40] techrights[sec] process, even above and beyond what quiterss used to do ● Feb 20 [13:01] schestowitz-pi quiterss is very good for many things and the best among guis i have used [13:01] schestowitz-pi but to me there were several limitations [13:01] schestowitz-pi some of them profound [13:01] schestowitz-pi and the longer i do not use it, the more remorse i feel about staying with it [13:01] schestowitz-pi trill the disk died [13:04] techrights[sec] There were some good things about QuiteRSS but a great many shortcomings. [13:04] techrights[sec] There are many shortcomings with the script but for me it saves about 50% to [13:04] techrights[sec] 60% of the /effort/ However, I am not a neutral party in that. ;) [13:09] schestowitz-pi depends on the use cases and untapped potential [13:09] schestowitz-pi to whit [13:09] schestowitz-pi some stuff i did before i do faster now [13:09] schestowitz-pi and also,as a perk, some things I did not envision before [13:09] schestowitz-pi are not possible, such as in-line links for blockquotes [13:09] schestowitz-pi this enriches TM and TR [13:09] schestowitz-pi this even includes "proper" nesting, styles, and
