| schestowitz | Of course it is possible to control the language. I wish it would not be so. Governments, polticians, media, they are controlling the language all the time. New terminology is invented all the time, and all with the purpose of control of population. | Aug 23 05:12 |
| schestowitz | "Open Source" was invented as to control population so not to spread out the importance of free software, but to benefit the corporations. | Aug 23 05:12 |

| schestowitz | Then you may think it is because less syllabus than #GNU. But I think it is just a complex, random result of groups that got attracted to software and they have started chosing their own names of their computer systems. They may not even know what GNU meant, suddenly they knew about Linux kernel, and the started making distributions, which is good in itself, but not good for education. | Aug 23 05:12 |
| schestowitz | Producing situations that people use "Linux" without knowing what is free software is not contributing to society. This situation was caused by corporations such as Red Hat, SuSE, Corel, and others, who pushed "Open Source" instead of "free software" and still do. | Aug 23 05:12 |
| schestowitz | The GNU GPL licenses were spread all over their boxes, and in software, but in such manner that you cannot read them. Their printed versions very printed so small that it becomes boring to read it and understand what is free software. | Aug 23 05:12 |
| schestowitz | Free software started selling in shops just together with proprietary software, customers could not tell a difference. They just knew there is package of software for US $100 instead of just one piece, so they were purchasing it and using it, but not because it is free software, but because somebody paid to make it popular so that profits can be made. I am not against profits, but when purpose is different, this does not help the society, | Aug 23 05:12 |

| schestowitz | Hence, for a few feeds that works, I made scripts, as attached. | Aug 23 07:10 |
| schestowitz | Maybe, if possible, generate these daily links at your side and attach them with the other links? The main purpose is to keep my feed active while I work on articles. It also keeps Techrights more complete (news from around the world, in English). | Aug 23 07:10 |

| schestowitz | seems it treats xml differently | Aug 23 07:12 |
| schestowitz | Rianne knows it, I taught her... | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | Many sites like to spy through embedded cruft in links. | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | Linux Insider does it | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | ZDNet does it | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | CommonDreams does it ("?cd-origin=rss") | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | I always manually remove the question mark and anything after it | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | For sites in which the argument passed does nothing, accomplishes only spying. | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | In tuxmachines we remove tracking info to protect as best we can visitors... from click trackers | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | The file you've just sent, derived from the feeds, is really, really useful. I can work with it very fast. | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | First thing I did was "?cd-origin=rss" searched-and-replaced with NILL. | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | I'll see how finishing the whole file goes by day's end. It's a long file,but doable if I don't get too emotionally distracted (it was an issue before; lots of mental shifts, moving from one topic to another while trying to focus on FOSS). | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | I reduced time expenditure in recent months by: | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | 1. only checking Twitter replies once a day, at most. | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | 2. not catching up with all Diaspora replies (too many of them; I get about 70-100 replies there per day) | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | 3. not touching the political feeds or natsec | Aug 23 07:27 |
| schestowitz | Hence able to produce more new articles/day. | Aug 23 07:27 |

| schestowitz | I keep track mentally; in the past the harder part was looking for the direct link/source as many sites inc. CommonDreams and TruthOut merely licence from another site or link to that. It's no big deal linking to their copy, but linking to their copy reduced domain diversity, which can be frowned upon by TR readers. | Aug 23 08:09 |
