[09:55]	schestowitz-TR	activelow is back
[09:55]	schestowitz-TR	but not bringing up politics anymore
[09:55]	Techrights-sec2	ack
[09:55]	schestowitz-TR	must have realised it was a collision course
● Jun 22
[10:15]	Techrights-sec2	perhaps but at least the behavior is better
[10:16]	schestowitz-TR	worse case scenario, the person who call us "isms" and links to IRC logs starts calling us nazis or something
[10:16]	Techrights-sec2	i notice it's back and trolling again
[10:17]	schestowitz-TR	boredom or a sense of a lack of fulfillment with life/career
[10:17]	schestowitz-TR	(imho)
[10:17]	schestowitz-TR	notice he barely blogs anymore
[10:17]	schestowitz-TR	but has hours to spare on an irc channel where he's not even welcomed
[10:17]	Techrights-sec2	yes, he/it is just trolling
[10:19]	schestowitz-TR	I was amused by the defense of spamnil
[10:19]	schestowitz-TR	as if I'm supposed to only make positive remarks 
[10:19]	schestowitz-TR	even on paid liars who help, for a PAYMENT, vmware cover up abuses against Linux
[10:19]	schestowitz-TR	btw, nils torvalds has a youtube channel and the number of views is similar to spamnil's (sans the paid click/click fraud)
[10:21]	Techrights-sec2	I'm not surprised but cannot imagine the convoluted arguments which would be
[10:21]	Techrights-sec2	required for the defense of spamnil both as a person and as representing
[10:21]	Techrights-sec2	the LF attack against Linux
[10:22]	schestowitz-TR	with spamnil the transition did not happen overnight
[10:22]	schestowitz-TR	it keeps getting worse and worse
[10:22]	schestowitz-TR	the click fraud started 1-2 months ago
[10:22]	schestowitz-TR	a sign of sdesperation
[10:22]	schestowitz-TR	far that people would realise they wasted their time on his "show"
[10:22]	schestowitz-TR	*fear that
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	it did not happen overnight but did happen quickly enough and there were warning
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	signs aplenty even back in his muktware days; I simply did not trust him from
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	the start
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	LF does not care if no one reads his crap or watches his "show", that is the
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	goal -- drive down the reputation of Linux and the LF in the public so that
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	not only does no one care for it any more there is at least minor antipathy
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	so that they can then exploit schadenfreude as they continue to damage
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	the brand.  LT still holds the trademarks but they seem to have his balls in a 
[10:24]	Techrights-sec2	vice or something
[10:24]	schestowitz-TR	LF 2007: let's stop war
[10:24]	schestowitz-TR	LF 2016: let's change the system from within
[10:24]	schestowitz-TR	LF 2022: war is not as bad as we thought

[10:28]	schestowitz-TR	I said 2016 for a reason
[10:28]	schestowitz-TR	2007 (foundation)... they manipulate wikipedia to lie... and to say 2000
[10:28]	schestowitz-TR	2022 is just present
[10:28]	schestowitz-TR	but rianne and I decided to speak out in Feb 2019
[10:28]	Techrights-sec2	ack
[10:31]	schestowitz-TR	a couple of months later, linux.com, which rianne liked (it was beginner friendly), was nuked by Zemlin and the kakis
[10:31]	schestowitz-TR	so were were not far off
[10:31]	schestowitz-TR	I think it was in the tram that we decided being "patient" with LF wasn't an option anymore
[10:31]	schestowitz-TR	I forget what they had done just before that
[10:31]	schestowitz-TR	but I think lots of Microsoft andf GitHub money was involved
[10:31]	Techrights-sec2	yes the site linux.com used to be really good for outreach and promotion
[10:31]	Techrights-sec2	the anti-FOSS strategies often rely on delays and misguided tolerance

[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	Only the IA/Wayback Machine can do justice to that site at this point
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	I used to look up names of the still-living
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	not Roblimo or Joe Barr
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	but Gasperson and Lisa Hoover
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	people who were paid well to produce good articles
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	bbyfield is barely visible anymore
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	soon to join: "Gardiner"
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	tbh, youtube screws them very badly
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	so they extend to lbry
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	which then becomes odysee
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	and then gives them not many views
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	and then promotes "far in jar" videos in the front page
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	which is why lunduke quit and deleted everything there
[10:35]	schestowitz-TR	even the article where he explained what went wrong with the site after he had shilled for it so hard
[10:36]	Techrights-sec2	again, the current purpose of that address appears to be to degrad the
[10:36]	Techrights-sec2	kernel and the GPL and to turn people negative towards Linux in general
[10:36]	Techrights-sec2	Joe Barr was great but there are still questions about his demise IMHO
[10:36]	Techrights-sec2	ZDNet had a lot of great journalist doing excellent work covering FOSS and 
[10:36]	Techrights-sec2	GNU/Linux about 20 years ago.  
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	zdnet's "linux" page atm: 2 articles in past week, both of them yesterday
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	sjvn boosting SBOM BS.
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	which likely means it was an LF assignment 'article'
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	LF has an event this week
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	lots of crap coming out
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	esp. the snyk thing
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	LF learned to love the FUD
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	and concern-troll the thing that's the first word in their name
[10:38]	schestowitz-TR	I cannot forgive them when they keep doing this
[10:38]	Techrights-sec2	nope
[10:38]	Techrights-sec2	they have to reform their behavior first
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	that will never happen
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	I thought about doing a video, but a lot of these particular aspects were covered before
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	it's like they have a list of 10 ways to suck
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	and each week they pick one and start or resume sucking again
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	until Linux runs out of "juice" 
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	this week trhry managed to compel Torvalds to speak of rust as if, this is OK, I can learn to live with this
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	he never wanted or asked for this 
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	he was lobbied for years
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	usually from Microsoft-connected sites and Gulag played a big role too
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	they shoehorn this as a "security" thing
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	but colour me sceptical given their track recoprd and the size of the darn thing
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	when I downloaded it to laptops in an effort to compile some gemini programs I was astounded that I was running out of disk space
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	the kernel (linux, kernel.org) runs on some very miniature devices
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	but maybe not for long
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	it's becoming like running Microsoft Office 2050 Pro Plus Deluxe to just write a fucking letter to the local council
[10:44]	schestowitz-TR	the bloat manifests itself in bugs, complexity of deployment, development etc.
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	so some companies will explore something else, e.g. for pi pico
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	and this worries me
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	the oither kernels are less freedom-centric, bloat aside
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	and LF ALREDY pushes utter shite like zephyr
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	and then jperlow writes a logjng long post about how LF is NOT about Linux anymore
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	it seems to me like he left LF some time ago 
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	his name never shows up, even in the CMS meta
[10:45]	schestowitz-TR	they hire some new guy, who knows more about English grammar than anything technical
[10:45]	Techrights-sec2	ack
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	like in epo, they also downgraded the necessary qualifications
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	say what you will about jperlow, he was not stupid and he's very technical
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	sooner or later dev houses that do embedded dev will need to study and use rust "chains" (bloat)
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	or they could choose some other kernel and kick this github mothball to the curb
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	at least like mozilla, LF will go into the subset with an extensive portfolio of fluff about people
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	with a lot of skin colours and sometimes rainbows
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	to linux, this serves no purpose, it is time-wasting and off-putting due to a divisive 
[10:48]	schestowitz-TR	nature of those things (in the technical world people are not so passionately divided)

● Jun 22
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	today I saw a bsd blog from your list/blogroll that said this article is also in gemini
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	I think prior to it only devault did this
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	maybe solene also
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	devault is going through a tough time, so he put aside some projects
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	gemini is now 3+ years old
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	we started in early 2021
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	it's still growing so the effort has paid off
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	risky and speculative
[11:28]	Techrights-sec2	yes it looks like there is growing awareness
[11:28]	Techrights-sec2	yes TR was in reasonably early
[11:28]	schestowitz-TR	but it was a good call
[11:30]	schestowitz-TR	strategic timing: when firefox (and its dependents die)
[11:30]	schestowitz-TR	people will look for alternatives 
[11:30]	schestowitz-TR	we need to show them alternative protocols, not alternative browsers
[11:30]	schestowitz-TR	for most things pages are enough 
[11:30]	schestowitz-TR	the rest is cruft
[11:30]	schestowitz-TR	today I think that, unless epo has major news, I will improve the capsule
[11:32]	Techrights-sec2	ack 
[11:37]	Techrights-sec2	firefox will have its next crisis soon; iirc the current google infusion
[11:37]	Techrights-sec2	expires in 2023
[11:38]	Techrights-sec2	yes, you told me several days ago
[11:38]	Techrights-sec2	but they probably prepare accordingly
[11:38]	Techrights-sec2	ahead of time
[11:38]	Techrights-sec2	trying to lower costs and negotiate price
[11:38]	schestowitz-TR	yes, you told me several days ago
[11:38]	schestowitz-TR	but they probably prepare accordingly
[11:38]	schestowitz-TR	ahead of time

[11:38]	Techrights-sec2	they'll have some spin and maybe some more layoffs well in advance
[11:38]		-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.theverge.com | Mozilla and Google renew Firefox search agreement - The Verge
[11:39]	schestowitz-TR	we are somewhat limited by lack of cgi support, but it's not a big deal
[11:39]	schestowitz-TR	I noticed some people get too creative with certificates and implement games
[11:39]	schestowitz-TR	that only work with rather advanced gemini clients
[11:39]	schestowitz-TR	I'm not sure it's something to be embraced tbh
[11:40]	Techrights-sec2	not so important
[11:40]	Techrights-sec2	however thunderbird getting cut out of GMail for all practical purposes
[11:40]	Techrights-sec2	has been bad
[11:40]	Techrights-sec2	i'd say the complexity is important to avoid 
[11:41]	schestowitz-TR	email has been mostly besieged not by gmail et al (Microsoft is a lot smaller)
[11:41]	schestowitz-TR	but by social control media, the "private" messages there, and all those "messasing" 
[11:41]	schestowitz-TR	"appe" for so-called "phones"
[11:42]	Techrights-sec2	via social control media; the instigators against it remain M$ and Alphabet
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	mind you, curiously enough both ulag and msft tried to become big in social control media
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	several times in fact
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	microsoft spent funny money
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	and still failed at it
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	gulag created several of its own
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	and found false pretences to mothball the things
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	but gulaqg still have a massive social control network called gulagtube
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	which it bought while it was at the toip
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	rathere than created
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	than ran at a loss like MSFT does with shithub
[11:44]	schestowitz-TR	I take no gratification in the bailouts received (gulag with maven)
[11:45]	schestowitz-TR	but in the observation that they cannot quite make money
[11:45]	schestowitz-TR	only pretend to
[11:45]	schestowitz-TR	so they are surfing the wallet (debt) of other people
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	gulag does make a lot of money, but not all the pots are cash positive
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	their "clown" BS is way behind and causing massive losses
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	youtube is hard to get current numbers on
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	just approximiations
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	way to fake one's true reach and size
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	use the cash surplus to buy things
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	even if they don't make money, just increase headcount
[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	shareholders love to think everything will magically turn from trash to cash
[11:50]	Techrights-sec2	I still wonder about Youtube's profitability and it's real priorities
[11:52]	schestowitz-TR	untested theory: windows back doors for contracts (graft)
[11:52]	schestowitz-TR	youtube political censorhsip and social engineering for more like Maven
[11:52]	schestowitz-TR	which even a lot of gulag employees oppose
[11:52]	schestowitz-TR	maybe they thought their 6-figure salaries were paid by ads LOL
[11:56]	schestowitz	In "Bill Gates: An ISV that writes to COR is just f*cked"  gemini://gemini.techrights.org/wiki/ the * causes a bug
[11:56]	Techrights-sec2	yes I would expect so: nothing works well on windows except the bugdoors 
[11:56]	Techrights-sec2	and backdoors
[11:56]	Techrights-sec2	Google has more thorough activity tracking though
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	Gulag's installedbase is a lot bigger, about twice as big as Windows owing to the spy in people's pocket that must stay on 24/7
[11:57]	schestowitz-TR	and has more and more sensors on it over time
[11:58]	Techrights-sec2	yes and on top of that there is all the web searching, gstatic, captchas, and
[11:58]	Techrights-sec2	gmail + various "services"
● Jun 22
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	re billg example, it is not the only one
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	it's a special or edge case
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	I think I might be able to create category pages, looking into feasibility
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	it looks like category pages might simply replicate, poorly, what we already have in some dedicated wiki pages
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	I want to make it easier to find/"dicover" old artcieles
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	because we have so many
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	doing search without cgi is possible
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	in an awkward kind of way
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	using a web requests which crafts a gemtext results page
[12:08]	schestowitz-TR	but that would expose other people's search history
[12:17]	Techrights-sec2	checking the gemini bug ...
[12:17]	Techrights-sec2	I would think that CGI would be best to avoid on Gemini
[12:46]	schestowitz-TR	I've improved our git page
[12:46]	schestowitz-TR	moving on to another

[17:12]	schestowitz-TR	do you know someone who can check why LF has no recent IRS filings online?
[17:12]	Techrights-sec2	no.  
[17:22]	schestowitz-TR	<techrights-news> Has CISA become a "damage control" or PR department of Microsoft? https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/current-activity/2022/06/22/keeping-powershell-measures-use-and-embrace

[17:33]	Techrights-sec2	yes it has
[17:38]	Techrights-sec2	the whole Biden administration has been covering for M$
[17:38]	schestowitz-TR	same as trump
[17:39]	schestowitz-TR	same as obama
[17:39]	schestowitz-TR	same as bush
[17:39]	schestowitz-TR	during clinton at least bill did something about the othe r"lolita bill"
[17:39]	Techrights-sec2	obama eventually pushed back a little but not enough nor in time
[17:40]	schestowitz-TR	in what way was obama different? drupal for WH site?
[17:40]	Techrights-sec2	they started bringing in Google execs instead :/

[19:48]	Techrights-sec2	"accidentally" followed a link to nitter today, it led to a real toxic waste 
[19:48]	Techrights-sec2	dump of bad ideas; it's probably six months since I last did that and it seems
[19:48]	Techrights-sec2	far worse than I remember
[19:49]	schestowitz-TR	very low yield
[19:49]	schestowitz-TR	and vet high liklihood of brain pollution
[19:49]	schestowitz-TR	people write there stuff they cannoty write in articles
[19:49]	schestowitz-TR	because those things are false or baseless
[19:49]	schestowitz-TR	like the other day emptyweheel
[19:49]	schestowitz-TR	citing a tweet
[19:50]	schestowitz-TR	saying you can charge trump for trying to kill pence
[19:50]	schestowitz-TR	even pence would likely oppose such a charge
[19:50]	schestowitz-TR	but someone wrote some "teet"
[19:50]	schestowitz-TR	marcy wheeler turned that into 'article'
[19:58]	Techrights-sec2	ack
[19:58]	Techrights-sec2	low yield, as in actually no useful links at all. gave up after 20 minutwes
[19:58]	Techrights-sec2	and felt bad about wasting time with such drivel.  It's harmful and dangerous
[19:58]	Techrights-sec2	that officials and agencies use "tweets" in place of official communications
[19:58]	Techrights-sec2	because that feeds the beast and lends it an unearned air of legitimacy
● Jun 22
[20:00]	schestowitz-TR	not sure if you saw what I'm alluding to from marcy wheeler
[20:00]	schestowitz-TR	but it made me think a lot and roll my eyes
[20:00]	schestowitz-TR	either way, you'll notice in irc too I rarely cite anything "social media"
[20:00]	schestowitz-TR	it cost us a lot in terms of productivity
[20:00]	schestowitz-TR	if it wasn't for this nasty headache today, I'd be more productive
[20:00]	schestowitz-TR	IU slept it off just now
[20:01]	schestowitz-TR	we'll catch up soon
[20:01]	schestowitz-TR	some idiots ran a bot in irc and left it running amok
[20:01]	schestowitz-TR	I even banned the wrong user by accident
[20:05]	schestowitz-TR	<techrights-news> "This brings me to how Twitch in particular will or wont get by. Over the last year or so, it has become obvious that their corporate overlords at Amazon want Twitch to get serious about making a profit." gemini://pennywhether.xyz/articles/recession-twitch.gmi
[20:05]	schestowitz-TR	Remember how I told you on Friday they said we'd say something next week?
[20:05]	schestowitz-TR	it's end of Weds now
[20:05]	schestowitz-TR	not a work
[20:05]	schestowitz-TR	they're like 1.5 weeks beyond the promised time
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	*now a word
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	rianne and I thought about leaving months already
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	before they even said anything to the whole teamn
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	seeing that it had gone the wrong way for years
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	but was getting yet worse this year
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	but seeing the economy out there right now, job openings, inflation etc.
[20:07]	schestowitz-TR	we need to think carefully   
[20:08]	Techrights-sec2	profit on top of mass maniuplation of public opinion
[20:08]	Techrights-sec2	yes there were a few items in the queue 
[20:08]	Techrights-sec2	how is the naturalization paperwork progressing?
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	we'll start around august
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	having that job is extra help
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	citizienship is also extra help
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	but neither is essential
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	given how low our expenses are, plus (for now) health insurance, which I assume they sometimes tie to a job,
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	this causes no stress at all
[20:11]	Techrights-sec2	excellent
[20:11]	Techrights-sec2	ack
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	having said that, there are moral issues associated with this job as it stands right now 
[20:11]	schestowitz-TR	if I could choose, I'd say let her work and leave me off the hook or extra for holiday covers
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	I reckon, if circumstances change, here or there (the company), I can ask for more hours again
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	like a tap, or associate, or "gig economy", except better conditions
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	I'm still off work till saturday
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	need video and article idea
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	if you hyave any
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	I've just cloeaned my feeds
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	Daily Links eta 5 mins
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	headache gone compltely
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	paracetamol did not help
[20:12]	schestowitz-TR	sleep did
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	gig is a ripoff
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	Saturday is Midsummer Day
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	that's how it usually goes :/
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	Can more be said about the upcoming EPO Staff action>
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	?
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	Or about Debian and trademarks?
[20:14]	Techrights-sec2	^ if public
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	oh, yes, not I can finally talk about the TM issue
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	and I've not done a video about this case in a whole
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	I said I would
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	though I said I'd do one when the cases is finished
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	they must be spending a ton of money on that
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	and it looks like it's going nowhere
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	see the very latest in his PERSONAL site
[20:16]	schestowitz-TR	with torvalds photo op
[20:16]	Techrights-sec2	:\
[20:16]	Techrights-sec2	wasted money, time, and rep
[20:16]	Techrights-sec2	ack
[20:16]	Techrights-sec2	the SFI is new (to me)
[20:17]	schestowitz-TR	it's a clever legal hack/.trick
[20:18]	schestowitz-TR	it really pisses off those who try to gag him
[20:18]	schestowitz-TR	as it's not a person but an org
[20:19]	Techrights-sec2	"Director of Debianism" 
[20:19]	Techrights-sec2	yes if he set up the org / corporation correctly it will be more powerful
[20:19]	Techrights-sec2	than they are
[20:24]	Techrights-sec2	the CoCs are certainly not about diversity of thought and even more against
[20:24]	Techrights-sec2	skill, experience, and talent
[20:27]	schestowitz-TR	the submission looks like "preview" or template
[20:27]	schestowitz-TR	as if only quotes some bits
[20:27]	schestowitz-TR	I know a lot more but am admittedly afraid of the sys admin's wrath
[20:27]	schestowitz-TR	so had to juggle just two items at a time
[20:27]	schestowitz-TR	doing this 'under the radar' is possible
[20:27]	schestowitz-TR	to an extent
