| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Apr 24 05:27 |
| schestowitz | <p>Recently, I started doing a while bunch of new models in SketchUp, and I always try to only use my own components, never anything from the 3D warehouse. This means extra work, but also more satisfaction when you succeed. But then, I did face one big challenge. How to make a helix, a three-dimensional spiral, that most elusive of shapes.</p> | Apr 24 05:27 |
| schestowitz | <p>In essence, most of 3D design is just figuring the intricate intersect of planes in three dimensions. Sounds trivial, but sometimes, you end up scratching your head, not quite sure what to do. I decided to check a number of online tutorials, and while they do accomplish the task, I found them impossible to reproduce. The actual steps needed in SketchUp baffled me more than the concept of how a helix | Apr 24 05:27 |
| schestowitz | should look like. Well, eventually, with great satisfaction, I worked it out. It's not the prettiest or most efficient method, but it's dead simple. Let me show you.</p> | Apr 24 05:27 |

| schestowitz | This is always a possibility. Companies do the same. LF seemed to have done it when I exposed two LF scandals in two days back in December.

| schestowitz | Proving such correlation is very hard. | Apr 24 07:44 |

| schestowitz-TR | In Techbytes I've put some redacted stuff of interest | Apr 24 07:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | for transparency without too much attention | Apr 24 07:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it's understandable that some people may know identities; for others, | Apr 24 07:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | that needs to be made obscure enough and hard to locate by searches | Apr 24 07:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've not been very actively in IRC lately. This is intentional. | Apr 24 07:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | The main channel runs OK on its own. | Apr 24 07:47 |

| schestowitz-TR | I've alreadycorrected some typos in parts 2-3 this morning | Apr 24 07:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is still work in progress, intercepting (reporting) typos would help | Apr 24 07:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have still not finalised my approach for dealing with patent "news" (noise) | Apr 24 07:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | of utmost concern: linking to sites I strongly disagree with | Apr 24 07:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | and more so: linking to falsehoods (even if there is an in-line rebuttal) | Apr 24 07:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | last night I realised that in some sense we already won thr argument | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was reading some comments, not paid-for fluff, and convinced myself | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | that perceptions had shifted | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | like RMS/GNU/FSF inspired CC and WWW, criticism of the patent status quo | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | is infectious | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | you now see comments you could not see 10-20 years ago | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | even from within the microcosam/occupation | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | Last week NY Times did a piece about it | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I saw several articles about the NY Times piece | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | generally agreeing that the patent system is capturd | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no longer cushions innovation | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | EPO is one area where we get in-depath insights, | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the soft underbelly of "the machine" | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | is laid bare | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | in a similar vein, the media is "finding out" only NOW that Vista 11 is "Smaller" than XP | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on statcounter alone we already said this months ago | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the point being, even without WBers sometimes you can use data points by which | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | to proactively suppress shills and trolls | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I noticed that even Microsoft Paul (T) took note of this | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | They are very concerned and this past week they started pushing WSL again | Apr 24 07:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | (Windows retention strategy) | Apr 24 07:59 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but the risk is that they can do the attrition startegy which they used | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | with the first round of Visa to grind down resistance. The | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | GNU/Linux distros and FreeBSD ought to be making hay with this. | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | FreeBSD instead are a bunch of Windows boosters and Canonical and the otehr | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | companies backing the vaiorous distros have all be heavily infiltrated. | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Einfeldt had estimated that going below around 85% desktop market share | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | would pop the Windows bubble. Most people believe that M$ makes money | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | from selling Windows, that is a myth which M$ likes to perpetuate. | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | The real money comes from the monopoly rents and it is the OEM monopoly which | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | counts there. The stuff with the UEFI, TPM, Restricted boot, and so on | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | is an attempt to lock in what they can with aspirations to having | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | enough market share remaining after that to be able to continue their | Apr 24 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | leveraging of old monopolies into new ones. | Apr 24 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have just tried, in vain (vague headline), to find last week's article about | Apr 24 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | aschool (US, IIRC) changineverything to GNU/Linux, client side also | Apr 24 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | Chromebooks weaken Windows and force the revenue of WIndows down | Apr 24 08:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they won't usher in any real emancipation, nor will they give pupils | Apr 24 08:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the core skills needed to lead the way away from Windows | Apr 24 08:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag is like enemey of enemy in this context | Apr 24 08:05 |
| Techrights-sec | Another area, which is probably the largest if I were to guess, would be | Apr 24 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | the buying and selling of its own stock.. That probaby brings in more | Apr 24 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | revenue than the other areas. Note also that M$ "profit" even with Eron- | Apr 24 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | style accounting is less than the government bailout it got with JEDI | Apr 24 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | speaking totally in the abstract here, you know where I stand in my hypotheses | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | on US "tech" | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | Like Luka with his "tech" sector in Minck, with 1% tax rates | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | The real goal isn't to create a profitable econom | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | but an economic yoke tgar helps the ruling class (or dicatoator) of a nation | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) spy/control the population | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) spy abroad or leverage (e.g. blackmail, taking blogger's plane down) | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft is a centerpiece going back to the 1990s | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the gov. put Microsoft in a split dilemma | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it has back doors in over 200 countries woirldwidde | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag tells the US gov. what over 5 billion people think (or browser, or search for) | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | that does not need to be directly profitable | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the bproblem is, all these "hobby projects" of sociopathic ruling classes/dictators | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | are a yoke on taxpayers, whose contributions are paid in the form of debt (i.e. borrowing | Apr 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | from the futture, based on speculations or delusions of grandeur) | Apr 24 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, as complained about a lot, technology is more about control than | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | functionality or usability or reliability | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | M$ /is/ the backdoor | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | the continued existence of M$ is a drag on the world economy and hits the US | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | economy worse than most | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | yes the taxpayers foot the bill for the backdoors and spyware used against them | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | as mentioned the debt itself is the new currencu | Apr 24 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ^currency | Apr 24 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft , Gulag, and Palantir help the US harvest medical data | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | We already have solid proof that, as per Wikileaks/Cablegate, the US | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | leverages such information to discredit and manipulate foreign leaders | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | like Kirschner in Argentina | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hope that thew Belarus series helps illuminate how "apps fur diktatur" | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | is really a thing | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | or NSO Group/ClearView/something "bright" (the hypePhone back doors) for Israel | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | Germany has Gamma Group, which I assume just rernamed rather than shut down | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | The US is "world leaders" in this regard, but US took 11,000,000,000,000 (I had toi count | Apr 24 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the zereoes) in loads in just 2 years of pandemic, so it's overdoing it | Apr 24 08:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | I did not read these books, but I saw allusions to them | Apr 24 08:17 |
| Techrights-sec | nope and I would posit that young people /cannot/ read books and not | Apr 24 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | due to lack of availability either | Apr 24 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | physical books are "dangerous" | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) they last long | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) they pass hands without the government seeing who from/to | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) they cannot be remotely removed (store, DMCA etc) | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | like "app stores", there's centralised controls associated with "e" 'books' | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | Stalin and Putin "approve" | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can eliminate books without the carbon footpinr associated with physical | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | book burning | Apr 24 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | Applem now takes it a step further by hashing and making DBs on files in the OS | Apr 24 08:22 |

| schestowitz-TR | (I think, I'm not good at connecting words... or German for that matter) | Apr 24 08:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | Manchester has one big sites/paper, M.E.N. | Apr 24 09:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | for mostly mindless gossip | Apr 24 09:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | like local pubs, places to go events, football | Apr 24 09:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | propaganda | Apr 24 09:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it boils down to control over minds and, thus, behaviour/attitudes | Apr 24 09:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | <techrights-news> When I access manchestereveningnews (local news) I cannot proceed without consenting to data about me being sent to | Apr 24 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | about 50 "partners" that spy on me from US, Germany, etc. JavaScript made the Web a toxic place. We need to compel companies to move | Apr 24 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | away from it. | Apr 24 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | top story is about very rich people | Apr 24 09:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | it;'s even marked as such | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | tourism spam | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | there's a heart symbol in the logo with ukraine flag | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure why that's needed in a local news site | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | the right wing would call that "virtue signalling" | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | all in all, I got NO story of use out of it | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | even the football story is 100% gossip | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | about someone's feelings | Apr 24 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | not a transfer or actual concrete news | Apr 24 09:39 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Apr 24 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | as mentioned the local part is in name only; they have been bought out | Apr 24 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | to ride on the name recongition built up in previous generations and now | Apr 24 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | squandered to promulgate national corporate propaganda within the local | Apr 24 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | communities | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | now I feel maentally drained and damaged | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also did clickbait like "never guess what happened next" | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | headlines designed to create mystique | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hate those | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube's front page became like this | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I went there just moments ago to look for the boxing match noted in MEN | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's a wormhole of noise | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | mental clutter | Apr 24 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | like twitter in 2022 | Apr 24 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | the goal of many, including the corporations, has been to eliminate the | Apr 24 10:05 |
| Techrights-sec | participatory nature of the WWW and turn it into something more akin to | Apr 24 10:05 |
| Techrights-sec | cable TV with ads, DRM, and all | Apr 24 10:05 |
| Techrights-sec | So not just one-way transmission but who can transmit is also tightly controlled | Apr 24 10:05 |
| Techrights-sec | See the DSA fight or lack there of which should be going on in EU at this | Apr 24 10:05 |
| Techrights-sec | moment | Apr 24 10:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | people's voices get funneled via wall street, through Twitter, Facebook etc. | Apr 24 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Swarm-like controls | Apr 24 10:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | Wikileaks DID enjoy visibility there | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | Until it became Twitter policy to lock thei accoutns, make t hem less visible etc. | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | The problem is, Wikileaks elevated Twsitter Inc. to Wikilekas "boss" statu | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is, in general, a short-sighted shortterm gain magical thinking | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | GulagTubers were soo busy wanking over # of subecribers | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | but thenthe very concept of subscriber changed | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | wikileaks would have been vastly better off | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | had it built its brand and presence online on RSS feeds | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if only 100k people added that to their readers | Apr 24 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | rather than 5 million Twitter 'followers' | Apr 24 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | they and many other people ignored or denied the obvious nature of social control media in order to be able to pretend to be with the | Apr 24 10:39 |
| Techrights-sec | in crowd. That was | Apr 24 10:39 |
| Techrights-sec | appearance was not just an illusion but an outright lie, and it bit them | Apr 24 10:39 |
| Techrights-sec | on the ass later quite hard. | Apr 24 10:39 |
| Techrights-sec | They were just some of the many fools than helped grow the illusion of twitter | Apr 24 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it is all about fake choice | Apr 24 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | even middle-aged white men can unergo transition into "vulnerable minority" | Apr 24 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the social control media be taken over from within | Apr 24 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | to chase down people who call out the bullshit | Apr 24 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | the greater the BS, the wider the net can be cast | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | mind you, this applies to Islamists too | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's statistically provable that it begets more violence | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | by saying so out loud is verboten | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I see that Daily Fail is using nuclear-level trolling | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | to invoke emotional reaction | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like MEN one level up | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | Manchester Evening News | Apr 24 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I want to say something for the record: | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | Twitter changed. To say I made a mistake joining after Tony Manco had asked me to join | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | identi.ca (I was hesitent) and them put copies in Twitter) is revisionism | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the problen is how the sites change over the years | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | FB was also different in 2006, maybe close to benign at the very start | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | fwiw, during ooxml/odf wars bob sotur was posting this stupid "tweet" thing | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he also shilled second lige | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought, "what is he a kid?" | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1-2 years later there were also "tweets" with my name in them | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the key problem is, | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | (to emphasise to people) | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | giving someone else control over your platform of mouth | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they may seem benign and courteous at first | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they are still in control | Apr 24 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a saudi husband | Apr 24 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and when things go sour they still have control over you, | Apr 24 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | such as your data and your perceived "audience" | Apr 24 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 24 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, as usual, it is about control | Apr 24 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | and thus modifiying the message and shifting the "narrative" | Apr 24 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | thus the analogy to sharecropping | Apr 24 10:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | on the internet, it is very hard not to be boassed by masters like dns, icann, nominet (uk) etc. | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | those are problem further up the chain | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "copyright holders" and Russia sanctions crowd have begun chasing them, too | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then again the wiring between people is almost always going to be centrally controlled | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | wireless meshes only work under certain conditions in very densely populated cities | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then there is the power of encryption | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | where you avoid being banned by hiding what's moving up and down the stream | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, the war on encryption is not about privacy | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's about control | Apr 24 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | activelow (in the channel at the moment) did some work on encryption | Apr 24 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I disagree with him on many political issues | Apr 24 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | but IME, people who work on unapproved encryption get in a lot of trouble | Apr 24 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if their first attempt at it sucks | Apr 24 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is the prospect they will get it right later | Apr 24 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | Over the years I spoke to people and heard from people who, | Apr 24 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | merelt for developing ciphers, would get harassed a lot | Apr 24 10:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | eta 30 mins | Apr 24 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | so far, I think it is the "least bad" approch | Apr 24 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | it captures the text, authors' names, comments | Apr 24 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | does not send them traffic | Apr 24 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is conciuse | Apr 24 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I can produce that RELATIVELY fast | Apr 24 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also think that among UPC antagonists it can help "rally the troops" | Apr 24 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and shame the liars | Apr 24 16:25 |

| Techrights-sec | looking | Apr 24 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | for the uninitiated the highlighted points need clarification as to their | Apr 24 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | importance, the pandering to Russia for example | Apr 24 16:40 |
| Techrights-sec | or the significance of that particular author | Apr 24 16:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | good point, I think after the next article I will do a video and longer text explaining the importance of those things, inc. | Apr 24 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | with voice and freeform text | Apr 24 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | tonight comes part 2 and video about it (belarus) | Apr 24 16:41 |
