| schestowitz | I observe this SUPER-closely this week. You can find updates in IRC/Diaspora/other and a more moderate tone in Techrights posts. Gemini/IPFS have IRC logs too. | Mar 24 03:23 |
| schestowitz | It's not pretty, but RMS will get through this. We need to be AS LOUD as those trolls. They try to pester us in IRC now. They = Garrett mostly. | Mar 24 03:23 |
| schestowitz | Why did the FSF give an award to him? And Deb (OSI)? And Kuhn? They attack the FSF's founder. Kuhn has just been cited in Planet Debian: https://spwhitton.name//blog/entry/rmsopenletter/ | Mar 24 03:23 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Mar 24 09:10 |
| schestowitz | <p>Recently I was given two LED desk lamps to improve lighting for video meetings, these are just lamps with three controls, on/off, temperature, and brightness. In the misguided vein of “make it an IOT device with an app to monetize human data” mentality the temperature and brightness control aren’t just knobs on the lamp, no, they are controlled by a proprietary app that you are forced (well… unless you | Mar 24 09:10 |
| schestowitz | hack it (as I explain below)) to download to your phone or computer. You also have to agree to the terms of service to install and use the application. After installing the app you must “activate” the lamp in the app by connecting it to your WiFi and the Internet.</p></blockquote></li> | Mar 24 09:11 |

| schestowitz | maybe time to remove Sam from reading cycle? I'm thinking no, as we don't want to cancel people like they do https://itwire.com/open-sauce/why-richard-stallman-should-step-away-from-the-fsf.html | Mar 24 10:21 |

| Techrights-sec | It's frustrating how full of shit some of those people voluntarily become. | Mar 24 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | If they scratched the surface they get the facts instead of spreading several | Mar 24 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | lauers of lies. Sam is just one of the many gullible tools in that area. | Mar 24 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Some of his coverage of other topics is good but that last link is over the top. | Mar 24 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | He is engaging in libel at this point however it it is very widespread | Mar 24 12:25 |
| schestowitz | He already did THREE anti-RMS pieces, see TM for the list | Mar 24 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Sam doesn't even get the facts right in his article. | Mar 24 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | It's fine to have an opinion but an opinion is not what he is spreading, he | Mar 24 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | is disseminating bald faced lies. | Mar 24 12:26 |
| schestowitz | Lies pay more than truth because the latter isn't a product | Mar 24 12:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes and the lies are inexpensive to generate in volume. | Mar 24 12:28 |
| Techrights-sec | Bill Gate's PR agency has really done damage with all this. | Mar 24 12:28 |
| Techrights-sec | ^agencies | Mar 24 12:28 |
| schestowitz | I want to not do a single video or article about it anymore as shifting the subject to something GNU/FSF and NOT this would help more in abandoning the mob | Mar 24 12:29 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, the main theme is softare freedom and the fight against sw patents and | Mar 24 12:29 |
| Techrights-sec | there are so many distractions. | Mar 24 12:29 |
| schestowitz | the news is very slow today as everything got caught up with and/or occupied with this single topic. Our RMS-back piece is now at 90k views. | Mar 24 12:30 |
| Techrights-sec | there's less news every month, especially in regards to FOSS | Mar 24 12:31 |
| Techrights-sec | that decline has been going for years | Mar 24 12:31 |
| Techrights-sec | It is facilitated by the loss of Github and other similar acts of destruction. | Mar 24 12:31 |
| schestowitz | The same is true for tech IN GENERAL and maybe for general news.... in the grand scheme of things. But the %-wise loss may vary depending on topic. The "clown" coverage keeps growing... and "smart" and "hey hi" LOL | Mar 24 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | The upside is that the are more blogs than last year but they are still | Mar 24 12:37 |
| Techrights-sec | few in absolute numbers and get no coverage outside of TR | Mar 24 12:37 |
| schestowitz | did we already rip this one? I cannot find it if we did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG4HrOpzQXY | Mar 24 13:49 |

| Techrights-sec | M$ has been working for decades to disparage RMS and to try to get | Mar 24 16:03 |
| Techrights-sec | a self-renewing attack atmosphere against him. Notice what happened, for exampe, | Mar 24 16:03 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.youtube.com | Richard Stallman debates animal rights activist at Penn - YouTube | Mar 24 16:03 | |
| Techrights-sec | I do not have a record of the https://youtu.be/eG4HrOpzQXY video here. | Mar 24 16:03 |
| Techrights-sec | Even though it shows an unwarranted attack against him and attempt | Mar 24 16:03 |
| Techrights-sec | to draw him ito a trap and troll him, it is still an unflattering video. | Mar 24 16:03 |
