| schestowitz-TR2 | Upside of Microsoft SPAM machine for HEY HI (while LAYING OFF many in the "marketing" department/FUD teams): oversight or lack of FUD against GNU/Linux.

| schestowitz-pi2 | it looks like the router just rebooted itself after patch applied last night | Feb 22 04:53 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this time the ssh connection stayed alive and the ip address did not change | Feb 22 04:53 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | hopefully that's not just a matter of luck | Feb 22 04:53 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as that saves a lot of time/trouble | Feb 22 04:53 |
| techrights[sec] | If m$ is unable to spam the search engines, they will likely counter the loss | Feb 22 05:45 |
| techrights[sec] | by trying to become the front-end (e.g. with their wonky LLM) or by , as you | Feb 22 05:45 |
| techrights[sec] | point out, starting a whisper campaign against search engines in general. | Feb 22 05:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | doctorow's essay on this echoes my thoughts because | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | what people should satrive for are actual web pages | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | composed by domain experts | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like fish enthusiasts | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not some wordmachine | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | btw, i took a look at linux.com | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as LF was eerily quiet this month | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and not just because i abandoned quiterss | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | wtf happened to linux.com??????????????????? | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they should free up the dns space | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and let someone else run such an important domain | Feb 22 05:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if they're unwilling or incapable of doing so themeslves | Feb 22 05:47 |
| techrights[sec] | I suspect that the VCcode spam is part of that whisper campaign, as it's so new. | Feb 22 05:48 |

| techrights[sec] | Yes, Linux.com should hand it over to non-m$ community leaders. | Feb 22 05:50 |
| techrights[sec] | VSCode is just another attempt to become a^wthe bottleneck in all development. | Feb 22 05:50 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | this would be a step in a good direction | Feb 22 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but oligarchy would use it | Feb 22 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for wage reduction | Feb 22 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and might not like people having spare time | Feb 22 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as they can use it toorganise | Feb 22 06:12 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | one theme i'd like to explore (interjecting a bit, don't mind the above), | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | is what happened to "the news" | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | news cycles | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | news on the web | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | ownership | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as it seems to be an unexplored or barely expllored problem | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | linux.com is part of a borader trend here | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and that has little to do with "advertising industry" or ad blocking etc | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the subject has come up in the US, partly because of Sanders, | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as if they fail to fund the media oligarchs will control the narrative all across the board | Feb 22 06:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i linked to that hours ago, spoke with wife about what this would have meant to us | Feb 22 06:54 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | had there been no vendatta | Feb 22 06:54 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and they did the separation "properly" | Feb 22 06:54 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | anyway, this is the us, not the uk | Feb 22 06:54 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i am not familiar with the law here because the media does not cover this much | Feb 22 06:54 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | not even a sponsor | Feb 22 12:04 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | 3 if you count MS MVP | Feb 22 12:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not counting several ex-Microsoft there | Feb 22 12:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | can you check if in past years they also had MSFT spakers | Feb 22 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and/or microsoft as sponsor? | Feb 22 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this is not enough of a smoking gun's smoke | Feb 22 12:06 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | draft and can merge the issues | Feb 22 12:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | excelent that we've now established a timeline and when it started | Feb 22 13:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | going to make a post out of this later | Feb 22 13:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the new workflow is a lot more efficient | Feb 22 13:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but what's time consuming now it wading through and choosing more news picks | Feb 22 13:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | that's ok though, but must allocate more time to do aricles | Feb 22 13:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | by setting time limits/boundaries/squotas | Feb 22 13:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | got some topics to cover, but none urgent | Feb 22 13:02 |

| techrights[sec] | M$ infiltration of and destruction of the conferences is an important topic. | Feb 22 16:52 |
| techrights[sec] | It goes all the way back to the incidents covered in the Plaintiff's Exhibits | Feb 22 16:52 |
| techrights[sec] | from Comes v M$ when they bragged about killing two Macintosh conferences. | Feb 22 16:52 |
| techrights[sec] | A very similar thing is going on here. | Feb 22 16:52 |
