| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, Anyway, violent crime impacts you on an ongoing basis under federal law even if you leave the state of Illinois for one that cares about your Constitutional freedoms. | Jun 25 02:25 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC | And they can make anything a "violent" crime. | Jun 25 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | They can make anything sound worse than it is. | Jun 25 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | They're very very good at extracting false confessions. | Jun 25 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | So it's like, I played the cards I had and I did better than most people do in court. Most white people anyway. | Jun 25 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | The court system seems to enjoy lashing out irrationally with overly harsh punishments against white people due to white guilt among the judges and other court officials. | Jun 25 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR would say this goes along with the idea that you can make things better for some by making them worse for others. | Jun 25 02:27 |
| DaemonFC | Then everyone does poorly and it balances out, right? | Jun 25 02:27 |
| MinceR | you said this | Jun 25 02:53 |
| MinceR | i think it's a counterproductive idea | Jun 25 02:53 |

From its inception, this technology has been a solution in search of a problem and has now latched onto concepts such as financial inclusion and data transparency to justify its existence, despite far better solutions to | Jun 25 08:15 |

Despite more than thirteen years of development, it has severe limitations and design flaws that preclude almost all applications that deal with public customer data and regulated financial transactions and are not an improvement on existing non-blockchain solutions.”</p> | Jun 25 08:15 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I'm not sure of the reasons, just that the growth accelerates after calamities | Jun 25 08:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, the nordic countries were the model of success in that and many other | Jun 25 08:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | regards up until they deviated from the "middle path" economic policied and | Jun 25 08:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in general, education and healthcare lead automatically to bettr population size | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and pensions help there too. The US has been eliminating all three, the one | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that hurts there the most is the elimination of public education which took a | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | major hit at the start of the Reagan administration and has been monotonically | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | reduced ever since. Now there are two full generations without adequate | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | basic education. A major action like a combination of Peace Corps and the | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Marshall Plan would be needed from Europe there but Europe is caught up in | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | its own mess, not entirely of others' making | Jun 25 08:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | about the smearing of the deposition tapes (and other critique of Bill) it would | Jun 25 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be impossible to prove, aside from observed phenomena | Jun 25 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think there might be more pluasible explanation | Jun 25 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also think that over-hypothesising about this tie-up with buffs and crank | Jun 25 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | can in itself be used to discredit critics | Jun 25 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is why I want to be sure that it makes sense | Jun 25 08:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the causal relationship there can be from either ditection, the cranks can | Jun 25 08:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | have picked up the material spontaneously. nevertheless it will be used to | Jun 25 08:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | discredit any and all criticism by association | Jun 25 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's see if the media plays ball for them | Jun 25 08:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saw billBC doing this not in relation to the tapoes | Jun 25 08:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but in relation to vaccines | Jun 25 08:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I would expect that they will continue to play ball, they do now, and have in | Jun 25 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the past | Jun 25 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | right, the goal is for them to discredit any critique or reproach of Bill | Jun 25 08:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | for now I'd just ignore them | Jun 25 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and focus on the unfolding issues | Jun 25 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | he seems to come and go in bursts | Jun 25 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | with the "bill gates" wave | Jun 25 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | "bill gates says" I mean | Jun 25 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes that's mostly what I'm doing but noticed the huge upswing such that one | Jun 25 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | has to waste a lot of time evaluating /who/'s posted the videos so as to avoid | Jun 25 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | sending the wrong ones traffic | Jun 25 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | to lead up with an example, last night I ranted to rianne that she was watching a bunch of idiots on youtube | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the one about VAT in grocery shopping | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I told her this is why I try to avoid random "person with camera" | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | there's no quality control at all | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and there are better avenues for information | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is at least verified a bit | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | she often reads a lot of yoioutube comments too | Jun 25 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is even worse | Jun 25 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the comments there are usually even more uninformed (at best) and often | Jun 25 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | misinformed. I have not seen any credible attempt to teach evaluation of | Jun 25 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | sources since the 1990s. There are ongoing attempts but they are no longer | Jun 25 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | credible and have fatal flaws in their methodology and actually facilitate | Jun 25 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the spread of misinformation and even disinformation | Jun 25 08:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | pardon change of topic | Jun 25 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday traffic on the gemini proxy doubled | Jun 25 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know why | Jun 25 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | it doesn't matter much | Jun 25 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | right now I post Daily Links very rapidly and then look for EPO info | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | until July (first week) | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't want to check logs | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I promised myseld not to | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I'd rather write articles than "ego surf" or similar | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | IU thought about automating link collection from gemini | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | but atm the s/n ratio isn't good enough for automation of any kind | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I check manually every hour or two | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the priority is just that | Jun 25 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | many batches of lots of news | Jun 25 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | np | Jun 25 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | check the web server logs to see about referers | Jun 25 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok the the log format can be simplifie even more to save space and not | Jun 25 08:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | save data which is not needed or wanted | Jun 25 08:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | the log for nginx does not save any IP addresses | Jun 25 08:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | it queries locally | Jun 25 08:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | right but IIRC for the first connection from the outside it might have the | Jun 25 08:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | referer | Jun 25 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I see what you mean | Jun 25 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm just relieved that after going cold turkey outr of social control media IRC and web/gemini are doing as well as before | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | lunduke did experiment with those things years ago | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of twitter et al = bots | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | even diaspora | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | they crawl the target site for image (preview) | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and EACH diaspora pod with someone who FOLLOWS you does this | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it merely generates a burst of bots | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | not good value for 'the buc' | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | *buck | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure if you gert what I mean | Jun 25 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | excellent | Jun 25 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | lunduke did not stick to his guns on that | Jun 25 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | he kept going back to twitter and youtube and maybe a few other places | Jun 25 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes I understand the inefficiency and redundant calls made by how twitter | Jun 25 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and diaspora deal with outside links, I've seen it in logs before | Jun 25 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | you could also see this in nmon (spikes) each time I linked to a techrights post | Jun 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | tuxmachines also | Jun 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | tuxmachines had an account in joindiaspora with THOUSANDS of followers | Jun 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | so merely linking to a link there would summon an army of 200 or so bots from 200 instances crawling for an image | Jun 25 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yep | Jun 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | good for faking stats | Jun 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | but little net benefit | Jun 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a very major inefficiency of "decentralised" or "federated" social control media | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and i never saw anyone mention this issue | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | it has to do the same thing over and over again | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is energy/pollution toll associated with it | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | you need to over-provision | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I'd say to rianne, we cannot leave to the gym for another 5 miniutes | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | because I need to 'throttle' down the linking | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | like link from one site at a time | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | back then we had fewer CPU cores | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it would result in visitors getting error messages | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | even people who come NTO from social contgrol media | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | which owrsened the experience | Jun 25 08:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | since it fetches whole images and the trend fora decade is not to scale a | Jun 25 08:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | thumbnail, they were fetching the same image many, many times unnecessarily | Jun 25 08:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not just 'an' image but the whole full-scale image -- each time | Jun 25 08:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I never did a post or video about this issue | Jun 25 08:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | bandwidth costs a lot of electricity, in addition to the other aspects | Jun 25 08:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | maybe it is soon time for a post on the topic | Jun 25 08:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | but wait, I am reluctant | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would make centralised look "good" | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and federated look "bad" | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, at the time I didn't mind the illusion of higher view counts | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | now the numbers LOOK smaller | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they're not | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | we just get a lot less of that bot (junk) traffic) | Jun 25 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ah, that would be a likely way to misinterpet the resulting post | Jun 25 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | never mind | Jun 25 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there is a lot of bot (junk) traffic still on both sites | Jun 25 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | 'search' engines are a large contributor to it | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | their business model is mostly POLITICAL | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, baidu, yandex | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | because you might need to crawl a page 10 times for each person you might in fact redirect there one day | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | very little bang for the buck | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's why so few crawlers remain | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | a loyal "base" with RSS is far better | Jun 25 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | with search you might get a visitor a minute | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | RSS is a lot higher | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag must have had some real "RSS anvy" | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would invalidate some of their business model | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | like "everything as a search bar" | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they bought feedburner | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | killed off Gulag Reader | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | afte rGulag Reader had killed some potent rivals like FeedLounge )I was a beta tester) | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then burned feedburner users | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | who were left salty and sour | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but could do nothing to FORCE regulars to UPDATE their feed readers | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | (note, of importance: the expensive part is NOT the crawling but the subsequent processing, like tokenisation | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and cross-DC synching) | Jun 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag not does the same to many youtube users | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they spent years begging people to "subscribe" | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not that number becomes increaisngly meaningles | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | as gulag does not do much to connect "useds" with the channels they chose to follow | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | Twitter did the same | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and few noticed or complained | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had 7000+ followers | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but Twitter would push them trump crap and "engagement" noise | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | not the stuff I posted to "my followers" | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, numbers decreased greatly | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for glynmoody and others | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they silently became more merganislised | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | as Twitter sought some business plan | Jun 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | tim bray joked about twitter becoming "comms platform" that could just not find a way to make money out of it | Jun 25 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the crawlers don't do a thorough job either, especially Google is on the decline | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and seems to be focusing its resources elsewhere and letting the search | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | engine fade | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the text parts of an RSS feed monitor are not hard to create the GUI is another | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | matter though. | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Adding SQLite to what we have for TR already would be the next step but | Jun 25 09:02 |

| Techrights-sec2 | twitter is about control of public opinion and trump crap was the theme | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they were, and are, pushing | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | twitter has nothingto do with communication ever but especially since | Jun 25 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they moved to non-chronological sorting on messages | Jun 25 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) tim bray wrote this like 5 years ago | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) non-linear was a stepping stone or hopping point towards where we are today | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | "FOLLOWING" used to mean what it sad | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it's like "flattr" sans the actual monetary contribution | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | you "follow" | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then nothing happens | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks for following | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like pressing a "like" on the user !!!! | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the curation is done by jack... sorry,. I mean the "HEY HI" algorithm | Jun 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | jack can be sued, HEY HI cannot | Jun 25 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube subscript = "like" the channel | Jun 25 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | "subscribe" | Jun 25 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | "my youtube channel has 1000000 likes" :-) | Jun 25 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | used to be subscribers | Jun 25 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | spamnil got many channel "likes" for posting videos that were not hius | Jun 25 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | with misleading headlines added | Jun 25 09:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | AI, as seen, is a dodge to pretend that the outcome is independent of the | Jun 25 09:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | designs and wishes of the owners | Jun 25 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I said it a very long time ago. It's also a legal hack. Just paint some robots and call ti "HEY HI" | Jun 25 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | even when it is not ML but some simple filter or regex | Jun 25 09:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yep | Jun 25 09:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | regex is not ML but lawyers don't know that and don't care either | Jun 25 09:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | one techrights goal: make people less dependent on web searches | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | or: various centralised things | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | not to name examples, there are many | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | baiscally: regain editorial control or take that away from large gatekeerpers | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | those are the concepts, not boycott this and that | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | just handed over at work | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | (to rianne) | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | so had to send some mails | Jun 25 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | now I'm free | Jun 25 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | some people think "reddit" = the community | Jun 25 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | or... there used to eb sites like bored.com | Jun 25 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | when search engines were still not mature | Jun 25 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | so kids would go about typing in soccer.com (iirc, some porn thing) | Jun 25 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | or sex.com | Jun 25 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | those were the 90s | Jun 25 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | re-decentralization | Jun 25 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | re-decentralization is very important but complexity (cought*systemd*cough) | Jun 25 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in all its forms is an impediment (cough*AWS*cough) | Jun 25 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there was an informative post this last week about the heavy handed censorship | Jun 25 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there at Reddit but that post missed many egregious examples such as people | Jun 25 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | getting kicked out of their own "subreddits" which they had founded | Jun 25 09:18 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I | Jun 25 09:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'm not sure how to navigate gemini so much | Jun 25 09:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I check a very small handful of capsules and occasionally follow links but there | Jun 25 09:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | is not the flow where there are often links one wishes to follow and there | Jun 25 09:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | is not an easy way to open the link in a background tab so as to first finish | Jun 25 09:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | reading the present article | Jun 25 09:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | so about gemini, I try to link to a ton of domains | Jun 25 09:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the planet is partly for my own use | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but people can get at the whole sausage factory | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and use the same | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | the aggregation is swarm like | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | aggregators of aggregators | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's also a lot more efficient, fewer requestss | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | tabs are for the www | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | because pages became too slow to load | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | so things got serialised | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | in gemini there's barely that issue | Jun 25 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | tabs are more like bookmarks | Jun 25 09:25 |

| Techrights-sec2 | yes but the workflow has been efficient | Jun 25 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | slow pages have been encouraged and cultivated by google, which could have | Jun 25 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | penalized slow pages in the rankings and been done with the problem in | Jun 25 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | at most a quarter or two. However since their main business is surveillance | Jun 25 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and such they need the slow sites and the toxic slurry of javascript they | Jun 25 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | carry as a payload | Jun 25 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | "payload" is a helpful term here | Jun 25 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | painting that aspect for what it is | Jun 25 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes that is clearly what it i | Jun 25 09:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | is | Jun 25 09:29 |
| schestowitz | gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/new.gmi | Jun 25 09:29 |
| schestowitz | gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/allinone.gmi | Jun 25 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | the first one is the newer version, which I will refine over time | Jun 25 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought about adding to our front page some section like, "Latest in Geminispace" | Jun 25 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a blogroll of sorts | Jun 25 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | but there are potentially bad things that would show up if automated | Jun 25 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | manual curation is important | Jun 25 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | irc and Daily Links have an edited subset of these | Jun 25 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least once can see that all batches of Daily Links treat gemini as equal | Jun 25 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | with suitable warning using CSS | Jun 25 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm going to post anoher batch now | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | I decided to split manual from automated | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avoid mixing the two in the same batch | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | we still have a ton of unread things in RSS (30k+) since you sent me the OPML | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | that does not contain info like "disablesd" | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | just the structure | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | one way or another we can process them | Jun 25 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it's hard to find posts about the BSDs | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I enter a serach phrase for that whole lot | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | like "bsd" for those 30k items | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "respb" | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they help cluster stuff | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | without using some third party with its "secret" recipes | Jun 25 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | for that, you need to identify who speaks for bsd and latch onto their platform | Jun 25 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | no planets | Jun 25 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | but bypassing planets means making a lot of connections over and over again | Jun 25 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | though you then don't have the filtering of the "planet" | Jun 25 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | over the years many companies tried to compete with gulag search | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | evenw ikipedia | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but you cannot compete with them | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | you need to outmaneuvrer them with something else | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | duckduckgo became a microsoft reslleer selling lies and lies | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and brva claims to have a search engine | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't know what they use | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they do not crawl the eb | Jun 25 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think one positive apooproach is to teach peopel to rely a lot less on search | Jun 25 09:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | planets are ok for an into but at this level we do need to make an effort to | Jun 25 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | bypass the filtering which is inherent in the concept of a planet | Jun 25 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | education is an uphill battle even not counting the microsoftianism which | Jun 25 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | has replaced it; the best approach is in the tools themselves but we (I at least) have no influence over their development | Jun 25 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | did you see fsf posts from lasdt night? | Jun 25 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3 of them | Jun 25 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2 of the 3 promote moving to mastodon | Jun 25 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | which makes me go, meh... | Jun 25 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not yet | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | checking | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | their blog is not at the top in the navigation bar | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but I see the one promoting Mastodon, that is positive | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes there is the problematic presence of invasive CoCs there and with | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that, consistently, goes the problem of very selective enforcement of said CoCs | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | They are so selectively applied, everywhere, that it is clear that they are | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | about control and destruction rather than about cultivating a pleasant and | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | constructive working environment. For the latter CoCs not only aren't needed | Jun 25 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but actively get in the way, but again that's what they're for | Jun 25 09:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | mastodon = cocwatre | Jun 25 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | like cookware | Jun 25 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | mastodon = CoCware | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | odysee =K00Kware | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne=just made me a nice breakfast | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday at the cancel a lady in her 80s did a survey for the cancel trust | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne agreed to fill out the survey | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | "how often do you use the canal?" | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | "is it clean?" | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | "do you feel safe" | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the end she asked for the ethnicity pary | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and excplaimed | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | "you can cook without recipes!!"; | Jun 25 09:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | strange | Jun 25 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was meant as a complimant | Jun 25 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but plays into steretypes | Jun 25 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I meant Canal Trust | Jun 25 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | not "cancel trust" LOLK | Jun 25 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | that would be a concept from next edition of 1984 | Jun 25 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | this past half a day it became a joke here | Jun 25 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | "you can cook with recipes!" | Jun 25 10:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | copyright violation? | Jun 25 10:01 |

| *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@9wk3eibwqxp2g.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Jun 25 11:14 | |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes , definitely. Them having taken bribes impairs their coverage, but that | Jun 25 11:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | was certainly one of the main goals which Bill had in mind there | Jun 25 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | AOC thought he was a "Good" billioanire | Jun 25 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hope she woke up | Jun 25 11:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Same with NPR / PBS | Jun 25 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | she's clueless in that regard, but has only disinformation fed to her so it | Jun 25 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | will be unlikely she wakes up | Jun 25 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | that shows there are those areas that need working on | Jun 25 11:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | <techrights-news> Word from the inside (just now): Microsoft suspends hiring, even formally. Never mind the quiet layoffs (there are loopholes)... | Jun 25 11:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes but who has the bags of cash big enough to get a message through to her? | Jun 25 11:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | also whackdoodles are turning it, like everything else, into a partisan issue | Jun 25 11:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | soon she will feel compelled to publicly praise and support His Billness solely | Jun 25 11:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | because of her party membership | Jun 25 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is a republican and I no longer see dem politicians defending him | Jun 25 11:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is seen as toxic and a liabilitiy | Jun 25 11:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | which to me means we're better off than years ago | Jun 25 11:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | well that they're giving up on supporting him is a positive change | Jun 25 11:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | still he's doing a million times better than in 1998 when even the | Jun 25 11:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Simpsons were rightly so taking digs at him | Jun 25 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the AOC remark is ~4 years old | Jun 25 11:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | re Microsoft, got word from insiders | Jun 25 11:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not looking good | Jun 25 11:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course the companyn will fake it | Jun 25 11:25 |

| schestowitz-TR | the pr swallows everything | Jun 25 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and social control media + gulag 'search' help that | Jun 25 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag noise tgreats micosoft.coim and the MS LOBBYING blog as NEWS sources | Jun 25 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe some former 'soifters' who got enrolled at gulag | Jun 25 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and had fun adding microsoft propaganda rags | Jun 25 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | like msft fan club and Windows Updates | Jun 25 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | *Update | Jun 25 11:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | some go above and beyond that however, EPO and M$ are two examples | Jun 25 11:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the don;t even do the search, just click in social control media for some | Jun 25 11:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | 'hot takes' however misinformed they might be | Jun 25 11:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there are way too many microsofters in Googl | Jun 25 11:29 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I think most managers don't get the cult-like nature of microsoft and how | Jun 25 11:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | diametrically opposed M$ experience is to ICT; they appear to think themselves | Jun 25 11:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | as clever by "hiring away 'talent'" from M$. The reality is that all they do | Jun 25 11:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | is infect | Jun 25 11:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ^same old rant, again | Jun 25 11:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | back on the topic of journalism, it seems that the inability to evaluate sources | Jun 25 11:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | applies nowadays *also* to reporters | Jun 25 11:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that's a step further | Jun 25 11:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is not that imho | Jun 25 11:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is | Jun 25 11:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) no journalism to begun with | Jun 25 11:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) social media picking the PR points | Jun 25 11:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is nothing to assess or to choose from | Jun 25 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes by eliminating all the other material, people will pretend to make do | Jun 25 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | with the remaining material that is offered even if it is misinformation, | Jun 25 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | disinformation, or just play public relations press release | Jun 25 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | s/play/plain/ | Jun 25 11:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | without gulag noise I can no longer do weekly rebutals to upc lies | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it tedns to repeat itself over and over again at this point | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | like my coverage of gates foundation around 2009-2011 | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | epo can also become a little repetitive, so now I focus mostly or only on the conflict | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | trying to write "linux is awesome" articles in 2022 is also repetitive and rather dreary | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to look at the "next level" | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence the diagrams and thinking about how to solve the issues beyond brands | Jun 25 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | [15:51] <techrights-news> It is probably fair to say that in recent years the patent maximalism lobby perished, but at the same time the patent REFORM movement is dying or barely active. This is, IMHO, related to the demise of journalism and the WWW. | Jun 25 11:35 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, there are other approaches, the FSF blog had a good one about a | Jun 25 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | munipality in Turkey; | Jun 25 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | M$ suspending hiring is part of a long term and ongoing decline but it is | Jun 25 11:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | a matter of two steps forward on steps backward heading into their demise | Jun 25 11:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | since they get bailouts so often | Jun 25 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is what I responded with | Jun 25 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it seems like an unprecedented thing | Jun 25 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they let contract workers "expire" | Jun 25 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | but no opnboarding either now | Jun 25 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | *onboarding | Jun 25 11:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the fluctuations allow them to announce hiring occaionally while hiding | Jun 25 11:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the reductions, with the help of stenographers | Jun 25 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, that old trick was mentioned before | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | all companies do this | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | fire 100 | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | "hire" 10 | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | hide the former | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if it leaks out, sign more "PR" contracts | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | did you see the bizarre red hat message yesterday? | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | let me find it | Jun 25 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | [07:16] <techrights-news> This announcement, to me, made in PUBLIC, is rather baffling to me. Suggests to me Red Hat has a talent retention crisis and cannot recruit geeks anymore. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/expanding-us-healthcare-travel-benefits-access-several-healthcare-services | Jun 25 11:40 |

| schestowitz-TR | I said something similar to it a day earlier | Jun 25 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | unreal! | Jun 25 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | or maybe it was a response tro SCOTUS | Jun 25 11:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, just like that | Jun 25 11:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | advertising "partnerships" like how they took out The Register two decades ago | Jun 25 11:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | checking | Jun 25 11:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it's related to the bizarre situation at the US Supreme Court | Jun 25 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have not had a very hot day yet, but it is only June | Jun 25 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the garden is thirsty | Jun 25 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne had to water some plants to save them | Jun 25 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | rain planned or expoected for tonight | Jun 25 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't mind rain | Jun 25 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | much better than heat wave | Jun 25 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can work in rain | Jun 25 11:44 |

| Techrights-sec2 | Iceland has ok weather at the moment | Jun 25 11:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | from what I can gather maybe it was not always barren | Jun 25 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | like australia | Jun 25 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | which used to have a lot more life in it | Jun 25 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | before the bushfires and man-made fires | Jun 25 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | that ruined the land | Jun 25 11:52 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it used to be tree-covered before deforestation | Jun 25 11:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that was driven by excessive, unsustainable misuse and overpopulation | Jun 25 11:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | many countries are overpopulated if on considers carrying capacity | Jun 25 11:53 |

| schestowitz-TR | to some people infection | Jun 25 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | is seen as "business success" (or opportunity) | Jun 25 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was just discussing the issue on the phone a while ago (several consecutive calls) | Jun 25 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | the above page: before "human settlement" | Jun 25 11:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | euphemism | Jun 25 11:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | imagine saying that your uncle died after COVID-19 "settlement" | Jun 25 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 12:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes the page does cover the cause but not so head on as it could | Jun 25 12:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | in Liverpool Museum (been there 3 times, I think) they have a section on what England looked like before "settlement" | Jun 25 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not a bad section | Jun 25 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | the reason I brought up iceland is to make a point about flora, fauna, and maybe also the accompnying weather patterns + shade (for fauna) | Jun 25 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | things change | Jun 25 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | people just reproduce like rabbits | Jun 25 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we are doomed we just don't know when or how fast | Jun 25 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | we are fortunte to still have a lot of large trees around us | Jun 25 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | near the center of town there's not a chance | Jun 25 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | a tree to you is "Wasted real estate opportunity" to some people | Jun 25 12:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | need more "housing units" for their rabbits | Jun 25 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | or the divorced spouse | Jun 25 12:11 |

| schestowitz-TR | but that was a typo | Jun 25 12:24 |

| Techrights-sec2 | unfortunately for the world (but ok for TR) the other sites are not picking up | Jun 25 12:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | on the news | Jun 25 12:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I was looking for other links but TR keeps turning up | Jun 25 12:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | SERP "ego surfing" can be a waste of time | Jun 25 12:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know because I did that around 2004-2005 | Jun 25 12:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then realised the time could be spent better | Jun 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | we use a lot of images so for image searches we are very well ranked ime | Jun 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I myself really search for something that I need | Jun 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | SSH is done simply and elegantly so it won't go away any time soon | Jun 25 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | unlike zune, natal, kinect etc. | Jun 25 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of people write books about things that vanish faster than the time taken | Jun 25 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | to write about such books | Jun 25 12:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | that relates to the brand issue; companies and produicts come and go, but the concepts will matter more,. e.g. | Jun 25 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | port forwarding as wormholes for security | Jun 25 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are other terms for that | Jun 25 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | the one I need evades me atm | Jun 25 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | tunnel | Jun 25 12:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | my head is still a bit of a vortex regarding topics of importance and tools of use | Jun 25 12:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | like what to get rid of | Jun 25 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am adapting | Jun 25 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the meantime I post more batches of daily links | Jun 25 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | to buy time | Jun 25 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | also while figuring out if I can reduce job hours to what's needed to just cover bills | Jun 25 12:43 |
| Techrights-sec2 | hopefully there are ideas there in the daily links | Jun 25 12:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I sory of study sleep patterns and their effect on mood, concentration etc. | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | did 4-5 naps a day a few times | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | than a lot of sleep | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | after the lockdowns I finally got to experiemtn with these | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | atm I'm nowhere near peak productivity | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm experimenting a bit | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I nopticed gulagtube becoming tiktok for some | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | with #shorts - lousy, useless BS videos | Jun 25 12:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost always taken on a phone vertically | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you have missed bits on the screen filled up, usually with blurred altefacts | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | if this is the direction society is taking, I'll stay away from it | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the "emoji of comms" to multimedia | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | the channels I follow never did shorts before, but maybe they are tired of investing days to make a decent video that's then | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | underappreciated | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | never mind cost of equipment | Jun 25 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | shorts mean "cellphone" | Jun 25 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes even less meaningful content; I've about given up trying to find | Jun 25 12:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | conference material there any more; It used to be a decent source | Jun 25 12:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of presentations and lectures but not any more | Jun 25 12:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | did the quality of the presentation decrease? | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | or is it the ads, clickbait, etc? | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I try to never enter youtube because it's designed to suck you in like all other social control media | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | they found a "winning formula" | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | winning for them, not for the user | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and twitter, gulagtube don't make money | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can believe FB doe | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | slike the political astroturfing campaigns | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | as for linkedin, they had layoffs and microsoft's claims are not reliable | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | you do not typicall lay off if you still make money | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it is bad for works' morale | Jun 25 12:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | *workers' | Jun 25 12:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the availability of the presentations decreased. I can't find any anywhere | Jun 25 12:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes | Jun 25 12:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | you are describing a side effect of incentive reduction | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I noted the other day, nils torvalds had uploaded a ton of videos of himself | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | they get viewed like spamnil videos | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | not even worth the time uploadoing | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | def. not worth PROCESSING time | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. if manually done | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | so those events might see small numbers for MOST talks and decide not to bother uploading | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) rapidly | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) at all | Jun 25 12:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not a priority | Jun 25 12:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It's more like #2 won | Jun 25 12:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | which is too bad, since many of the talks were quite beneficial | Jun 25 12:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | unlike the remaining crap like "TED" talks | Jun 25 12:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hardlt hear of TED anymore | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe I am semi-blind to those things | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but TED was epxneive | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes funded by corporations to ride the brand | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | like Bill and Lolita Gates did | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | TEDxsomething | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but expensive | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they do lots of promotion of themselves or the bran d | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | there used to be one I love | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot the name | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe "Fora" | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | also "Conversations with History" | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | the host is probably dead by now | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | he had some good guests | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag tossed out all the Chris Hedges videos | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | he too hadgood guests | Jun 25 13:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | Is The Real News Network still going, or barely? | Jun 25 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think Jay left | Jun 25 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube felt very good a decade ago | Jun 25 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I found lots of decent videos | Jun 25 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I used to watch or listent o them while cleaning the home, posting daily links etc. | Jun 25 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | IU even uploaded to youtube back then | Jun 25 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | about 800 videos total, mostly techbytes stuff | Jun 25 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | If the conferences would self-host like CCC does than that would be great | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but for now they have just fallen off the map | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the old ones are still there but if you do not have the URL handy you will | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be very unlikely to be able retrieve anythin g | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | if estimated accurately, their storage costs go up geometrically relative | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | to their income and their bandwidth is going to be in proportion to their | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | income so in the long run it might not be an economically viable model | Jun 25 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in the beginning it might be ok but the burden only increases | Jun 25 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | to put it mathematicallyt, sort of, if they maintain same audience level, or ir proportional to world population growth | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | then the average views per video stored will always decrease | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | to make matters worse, filming euippment improved, so file sizes increased, e.g. HD | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this impacts b/w bills as well | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | hosting OTHER people's videos is good as a "favour to a friend" | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not as a proper "longterm business model" | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | unless maybe transient | Jun 25 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | host while you get "bang for buck" (ads), then discard | Jun 25 13:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes the size of the average video is now monsterous, I have not checked to see | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | if they downscale to the size of the window actually open but the storage on | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | their equipement in their datacenters is not going to be small | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | right | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or as a means of steering opinion for a fee | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but even then those fees are unlikely to cover the full cost since they cant | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be too open about that kind of activity if they are doing it | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and the market is going to be limite to a few governments and multinationals | Jun 25 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | anyway | Jun 25 13:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | full spectrum dominance (not making up the term, not mine) does not place limitations on budget | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | it describes a condition | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the general idea is, put the back doors (e.g. Windows, Android) in place, then ads camera and mic access | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | or pseudo security like 2FA | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | you do get to dominate the message, but at what cost? | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | The US is dying from within | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | my sister's kids all hate the place | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and want to leave | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | their dad signed a contract | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm "really happy" Microsoft got its $22,000 million... but that won't bring a smile to the faces | Jun 25 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | of those who footed that bill for Bill(TM) | Jun 25 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Many are 1080p at > 40fps :( | Jun 25 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not know 40fps is a thing now | Jun 25 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems higfhly wasteful | Jun 25 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | monitors do 55 or 65 iirc | Jun 25 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the human eye does not discent the difference | Jun 25 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | so unless you plan to play those video in "slow mo", wtf??? | Jun 25 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | *discern (iirc very old research set that a 24 or 25, maybe 21) | Jun 25 13:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the standard was a higher threshold | Jun 25 13:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the only part of the M$ product line that actually works somewhat as advertised | Jun 25 13:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | would be the backdoors they rent to various agencies around the world | Jun 25 13:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | no the US is being actively dismantled by various groups some with overlapping | Jun 25 13:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | interests some with competing interests; it started under the Reagan admin | Jun 25 13:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | when they dismantled the education and has proceeded from there since | Jun 25 13:12 |
| Techrights-sec2 | lack of education is a way to mentally disarm the populace | Jun 25 13:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | outside my field of geekdom, BUT: | Jun 25 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | I do watch those things | Jun 25 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this is what they tell me when I ask simple, 'naive' questions like, | Jun 25 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | what is "gaming" mouse | Jun 25 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | "gaming keyboard" | Jun 25 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and "gaming" monitors | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can understand low latency modems | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | though I did not assess how much they reduce latency compared to "traditional" or "commodity" ones | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe just a salesman strategy with fake benchmarks (bribes) | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | the multi-player shooting games give advantage to those who shoot "faster" | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | but like GPUs, it's a way to sell more crap | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | for very high prices | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | and compsnate with FREAKY looks | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | for the screens, the periipherals, and the modem | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if they can be made to look "normal" | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | 60 fps might be true, but if I cannot see that, then what? | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for some audio systems and resolutions | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | like 60-inch screens you sit 10 meters away from | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1080p might be OK | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the shop you stand right next to them, so you don't simulate REAL streams under REAL conditions | Jun 25 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also colour-optimise what they show in demos | Jun 25 13:19 |
| Techrights-sec2 | 60fps might be thing even, not sure why | Jun 25 13:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | most vlogs don't have any relevant images anyway | Jun 25 13:22 |

| schestowitz-TR | there was something else I wanted to say, but not important to I forgot | Jun 25 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but as you said, some of these require a large home or room | Jun 25 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and take up more energy than needed | Jun 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | like US uses up gas for one person to ride a truck with a cargo of one empty baby chair | Jun 25 13:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | how far away is the 27" screen though? | Jun 25 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | the screen is about 60cm away, but the fonts are tiny | Jun 25 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | intentionally | Jun 25 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I can see more things, there is ytalk tall window at the centre and 3 IRC windows around it | Jun 25 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes i need to re-read "The Digital Vegan" though in retrospect a more appropriate title might have been "Digital Fair Trade" | Jun 25 13:27 |

| schestowitz-TR | when I had a Chinese girlfriend I learned many Chinese contemplated suicide | Jun 25 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I do not suppose their media will talk about it | Jun 25 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, for that matter, Western media and ovies "optimised" for "the Chinese market" | Jun 25 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | *movies | Jun 25 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | movies are optimized for the Chinese market, I noticed that back in 2001 or 2002 | Jun 25 14:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | already and it has been confirmed in recent years that the story arcs and many | Jun 25 14:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | details of scenes are radically modified to fit in there with minimal editing | Jun 25 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other day I showed some scenes removed from the movie Fury | Jun 25 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I found them while searchingf for something else | Jun 25 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | on the plane, "Seven Years a Slave" was heavily censored also | Jun 25 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | which reduces the impact by a lot | Jun 25 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could think of other examples but forgot | Jun 25 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | Daily Links have some | Jun 25 14:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Twelve Years A Slave | Jun 25 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Seven Years In Tibet | Jun 25 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | were different movies, the latter censored in China | Jun 25 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the book is well worth reading | Jun 25 14:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The isolationist policies of Tibet allowed Great Britain and China to conspire | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | to carve it up without involving the Tibetans until the actual invasion | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and genocide started at the end of the 1950s. Both of which continue to this | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | day but since they have little to no social media presence, they get no | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | sympathy from the masses; unlike various illegal squatters, armed insurgents, | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and violent jihadis, which do have a very strong social control media presence | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and thus get only sympathies for their unwarranted agression and wars | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | anyway Twelve Years a Slave was a very hard hitting movie | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I have not read the book, but did read some summaries of it and apparently | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Solomon vanished once again never to be heard from, so he was probably | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | recaptured and either reenslaved or just plain executed, sad to say | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Of the many problems with slave trade, the source of the slaves is nearly never | Jun 25 14:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | mentioned for reasons related to the above. | Jun 25 14:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | one observation: twice already I wanted to say something and then partly or fully forgot it | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | in spite of many hours os leep | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | so i think that does not tackle short-term memory lapses | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but both times it was not critical stuff but minor details or examples trendign through the synapses | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I *look* a bit fresher, the eyes and all, but in terms of speed and sharpness it's just a tiny bit better | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | every person gets annoyed at forgetting mintr things | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | "what did I come to the kitchen for?" | Jun 25 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it's partly about methods of compartmentalisaiton | Jun 25 14:16 |

| schestowitz-TR | not sure whether to water all the plants | Jun 25 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | wait a bit for it to cool down before watering and that will also give time | Jun 25 14:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | for you to see which way the weather will really turn out | Jun 25 14:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Some of the 5G frequencies impair weather radar so forecasts are going to get | Jun 25 14:40 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, If you run a dehumidifier you'll need to dump the water somewhere anyway. | Jun 25 14:46 |
| DaemonFC | As long as the plants are not edible and you don't plan to grow anything edible there, you can use it on that. | Jun 25 14:46 |
| DaemonFC | I use the wastewater to reconstitute my rinseless car wash concentrate. | Jun 25 14:47 |

| schestowitz-TR | if milk spils, we feed that to the plants | Jun 25 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | happened a week ago | Jun 25 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you buy milk on date of expiry | Jun 25 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is a chance it is already sour | Jun 25 14:50 |
| DaemonFC | What do you call milk that you water the plants with? | Jun 25 14:51 |
| DaemonFC | Plant Milk | Jun 25 14:51 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jun 25 14:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | use soy milk to feed soy :-) | Jun 25 14:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I presume that means lead contamination | Jun 25 14:51 |
| DaemonFC | If you pour the milk into a plant that's in a base it's plant-based milk. | Jun 25 14:51 |
| DaemonFC | <Techrights-sec2> I presume that means lead contamination | Jun 25 14:52 |
| DaemonFC | Dehumidifier water? Can have loads of nasty things in it, but the car doesn't care about those. | Jun 25 14:52 |
| DaemonFC | It's clean enough to wash a car or mix with antifreeze. | Jun 25 14:52 |
| DaemonFC | Just make sure that you thoroughly rinse out all debris from the bottom of the tank now and then so you're not pouring that into your radiator. | Jun 25 14:53 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I hosed down the tank with lysol the other day and let it sit for a while and then rinsed it out really well. | Jun 25 14:53 |
| DaemonFC | That kills mold spores and stuff that may be growing in the tank. | Jun 25 14:54 |
| DaemonFC | I also flush out the filter every few days. | Jun 25 14:54 |
| DaemonFC | Excessive, maybe, but it puts less resistance on the fan in the unit which probably saves some electricity in the end. | Jun 25 14:54 |
| DaemonFC | I usually keep the dehumidifier on 45%, because if you set it drier than that, it has little benefit at that side, but the thing never shuts off. | Jun 25 14:56 |
| DaemonFC | By running it hard, you can get the humidity down to 35% in here, but then you start getting nose bleeds and dry eyes and cottom mouth because the air starts to dry YOU out. | Jun 25 14:57 |
| DaemonFC | Anyway, nap time. | Jun 25 14:57 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jun 25 14:57 | |

| schestowitz-TR | I'm also thirsty (speaking of plants) for more gemini capsule feeds or aggregations | Jun 25 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | surely there cannot be "too much" in geminispace just yet | Jun 25 16:19 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I use gemini but don't find or search out new sites | Jun 25 16:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would be one of the best ways to help it grow or keep existing capsules running: give some traffic | Jun 25 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes that's true | Jun 25 16:24 |

| schestowitz-TR | it's not really a waste if you reach a conclusion | Jun 25 17:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I stopped my search for now, will make the most of what I have | Jun 25 17:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also need a temporary break from the main irc channel, you will see why in logs circa 5pm | Jun 25 17:37 |

| schestowitz-TR | going throughh your opml (by which I mean collection of feeds) | Jun 25 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | much better s/n ratio than what I got with refined gulag searches before | Jun 25 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and thus better links for the site | Jun 25 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I miss the occassional rare finds on some topics | Jun 25 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | but can leave without them if it means leaving without gulag's influence on what I see/read/link to | Jun 25 17:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | still it's not 100% but it's as close as one is ever going to get without NLP | Jun 25 17:40 |

| schestowitz-TR | some insightful observattions below | Jun 25 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | applicable to a lot of things inc. leaks, politicians, etc. | Jun 25 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and to a certain degree true for all social control media | Jun 25 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | twitter is just a bit one | Jun 25 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | with JS mandated | Jun 25 17:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | when you are underwater with twitter whale everything looks like a tweet | Jun 25 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you go above water and breathe you realise you never belond under the sea | Jun 25 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's alluring when they present you with fake numbers, boosters by bots and whoknowswhat... | Jun 25 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | *boosted | Jun 25 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's part of the addiction gamification | Jun 25 18:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | :( | Jun 25 18:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 18:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | lots of fake usage numbers apparently | Jun 25 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | everywhere one goes | Jun 25 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. spamnil's channel ;-) obvious clickfraud | Jun 25 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe gulag will turn a blind eye | Jun 25 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and just demonetise or somethging | Jun 25 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | at their own peril | Jun 25 18:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 18:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I think they and others are selective in their enforcement of those rules | Jun 25 18:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | like with many other rules | Jun 25 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | tim from techbytes was buying fake followers | Jun 25 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | that gave him nothing | Jun 25 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | other than pretending he was popular | Jun 25 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on some number you can only see at some page that is not him own (tennanted) | Jun 25 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | people online who look for affirmation in FB are 'prostituting' themselves to strangers | Jun 25 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | you and I do not PROPERLY known 500 people | Jun 25 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | let alone 1000 | Jun 25 18:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes | Jun 25 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it has become a bubble currency like NFTs | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course my popularity in digg.com isn't even provable since a decade ago | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you write 1000 decent articles and 1 million people read them, that's a lot better | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | than 1000 fake 'friends' pressing a "like" button on something | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but these people collect italisn lira or japanese yens | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | for the numbers | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | not the actual value | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is why I half-mock FSF for messing around with Twitter in spite of warning | Jun 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | people that it requires proprietary JS | Jun 25 18:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if FSF bypass that someone | Jun 25 18:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | for people to follow what FSF says there they need to run some shit code from twitter | Jun 25 18:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | that m,ay change any hour of the day and even demand a phone number | Jun 25 18:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 18:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but there is probably covert money nudging FB forward, since it provides | Jun 25 18:17 |
| Techrights-sec2 | unparalleled surveillance as well as opinion maniuplation at a mass scale | Jun 25 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it does not need to be covert | Jun 25 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it is a lot simpler than you've put it | Jun 25 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are running using apsculations and shareholders | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft was an early shareholder with 5% stake IIRC | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | they said to prevent Gulag doing so | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they set a fictional price for the company | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | 20 times what Microsoft put in (5%) | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they go public | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the banksters game the thing | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | that helps put "toxic assets" on people's pensions etc. too | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | eventually plundering the middle class savings again, taking away what | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2008 did not (my dad lost all his money that year) | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | so FB can report some numbers | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | with no real audio | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | *audit | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and investors panic when years late they finally admit they lose users | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course many are phantoms and dupes anyway | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know some people with multiple accounts | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I don't know how they count disabled users or people who never log in | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they reach the site while logged off but with browser cookie, are they active? | Jun 25 18:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | probably simpler yes but same goals | Jun 25 18:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't trust the pesky kid, sandbag and some of their main investors | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are slime | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they try to lie their way out of it | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | if twitter could barely even make a profit | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and was still going | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's because some people like saudi "royals" propelled it | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not billG tries to "protect" it from musk | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | zoobab and I were both suspended for talking about his stake in patents | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | later I got evidence gates had been paying twitter | Jun 25 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | todo: does reddit make money for condy nastY? | Jun 25 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | does a breakdown exist? | Jun 25 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | what is their business model? | Jun 25 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | advertising? | Jun 25 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | embedded narratives like their IE9 campaign? | Jun 25 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they don't say, be sceptical | Jun 25 18:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | some of those are loss leaders in exchange for suppressing or steering topics | Jun 25 18:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | nothing positive regarding software freedom nor negative about M$ will ever | Jun 25 18:25 |
| Techrights-sec2 | gain traction at Reddit becaue of that | Jun 25 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I heard the "sub" for "Linux" in reddit really hates true proponents of gnu/lnux | Jun 25 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | but did not look clsoely enough to verify | Jun 25 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used to get abuse there from novell and microsoft employees even back in 2007 | Jun 25 18:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there's even people who have gotten kicked out of their own FOSS-oriented | Jun 25 18:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | "subreddits" | Jun 25 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | a section masquerading as something that it is not (or against) iw worse than no section at all | Jun 25 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | like all those Microsoft/Windows sites Gulag Noise is helping trot out lies about Munich | Jun 25 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | any time a German city states intent to move to FS instead of Microsoft | Jun 25 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least I did mention a lot of times what had gone wrong with Gulag Noise, inc. at least one | Jun 25 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | video about how it "covers" (filters) "Linux" news | Jun 25 18:32 |

| Techrights-sec2 | that account is tied to "Gettr", a whackdoodle farm | Jun 25 18:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least they cannot deface (leave a comment) the pages | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | on their own, the pages are solid | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, some sites start reasonable | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then get infiltrated | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | that happened like 20 decades ago in a site a friend visited | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | surfingTheApocalypse | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | let me see if I can find info still | Jun 25 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | 3) also trolling to cause grief and strife | Jun 25 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | 1+2+3 | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it got invaded by "UFO" BS | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually it's one of 1) crazy 2) racist | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | or 1+2 | Jun 25 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | assuming this site I found in searx with the same name is the same site, too | Jun 25 18:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's one of those k00ky things like alex jones now | Jun 25 18:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | try to sell k00ky stuff | Jun 25 18:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or use kooks to disparage by association | Jun 25 18:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on the domain it might be an imposter using the same titles | Jun 25 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | like wikileaks-forums | Jun 25 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | an anti-wikileaks site | Jun 25 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media used it or they used the media to smear the real thing | Jun 25 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | the wayback machine goes back 11 years for this domain | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | so probably not a fake | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | comparing to past states | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, even 10 years ago it was already a load of bs | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and bad taste/style | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that's when my friend told me it had already gone bad | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not to be associated with | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | says the site is ru nn by "Nick Owens | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | friend said a lady was running the site | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, those are cautionary tales I heard ages ago | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2010 = wikileaks-forum, maybe earlier | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | we already touch some subject that are SUPER-susceptible to these sorts of tactics | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you see those whom you expose trying to twist or whip up smears to that effect | Jun 25 19:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | if sites do risk analysis/assessment, this is the sort of scenario they should study | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avoid getting in legal ore reputation trouble | Jun 25 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | douing 4th batch of links now | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | decided not to sleep so long again | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not worth it | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I won't be keeping track of sleep time anymore | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a mental burden | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne just watered the plants | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | and now I hear thunders outside | Jun 25 19:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it rains | Jun 25 19:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the grass needed it | Jun 25 19:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | we had somewhat or a dry spell here this month | Jun 25 19:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | yellowing | Jun 25 19:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | at least they won't dry out | Jun 25 19:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | excellent | Jun 25 19:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the right amount of rain at the right time is always a wonderful thing | Jun 25 19:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday I read some abstracts about why plants die and when they go over the tipping point | Jun 25 19:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | metaphorically and physically | Jun 25 19:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | researchBillGates(TM) only lets me see abstracts | Jun 25 19:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they think they own (steal) everything | Jun 25 19:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | several reasons and ways | Jun 25 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | many are programmed to survive only one growing season and different triggers | Jun 25 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | bring about shutdown | Jun 25 19:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | icanhazpdf ? | Jun 25 19:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | looking... | Jun 25 20:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 2013 paper, likely the last published, after theprevious that had been published 2006 or thereabouts | Jun 25 20:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I assume it's the latest and best in a sense, or most up to date | Jun 25 20:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a book chapter | Jun 25 20:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | held by spinger.docs ;-) | Jun 25 20:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | docx | Jun 25 20:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | Yes, I checked all the names in the refs | Jun 25 20:06 |

| Techrights-sec2 | checking | Jun 25 20:06 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the PDF is hammered though, the fonts don't work on the screen and cause the | Jun 25 20:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | columns to overlap | Jun 25 20:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Using proprietary fonts / typefaces is one way of ensuring that articles can | Jun 25 20:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | never become fully open access | Jun 25 20:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not try with a "proper" reader like okular but used gimp | Jun 25 20:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | a later chapter is composed by someone I know ;-) | Jun 25 20:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that is not accessible because springer wants money for springer's hard work! | Jun 25 20:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | Writing, reviewing, editing ;-) | Jun 25 20:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | try a few more articles ;) | Jun 25 20:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | science moves fast | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | people forget papers they read long ago | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's "old news" | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | but by the time only a few named are becoming "household names" | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | the scientists already perish and cannot see this | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe one day "jimmy savile" and "bill gates" will be remembered in the same | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | categiry, except one owned a lot of farmland and some OS that was a thing in the late 1990s beforew it perished in the 2000s | Jun 25 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | just like the marriage | Jun 25 20:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | universities here are not glamorous | Jun 25 20:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | I went to a few, visiting as a student and postdoc | Jun 25 20:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | one let me work from home for 2 years | Jun 25 20:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | as long as I habitually visit the lab | Jun 25 20:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the budgets and corporate influence are bad | Jun 25 20:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | some profs are double0-hatted (working for google or something) | Jun 25 20:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I have only contempt for those that retain a seat at a university while in | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | reality working full time for some asshole corporation | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | One neighbor's advisor died and when I asked him about that, he replied that | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | over the years he had only ever met him twice and at that it was during | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | department-wide social events. So it was a scam going on to a certain extent | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | even if the work done was top quality, it was all on the student and the | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | "advisor" just tacked his name on later, not dissimilar to how M$ Research | Jun 25 20:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | does it | Jun 25 20:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | re "pressure would be lower" <- like where I currently work... | Jun 25 20:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | nothing glamorous | Jun 25 20:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | the exploitation rackets: | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) publishers | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) stats funding (graft) | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) free labour/slavery/sharecropping at the backs of some of the brighter students for (2) and (1) | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | the diplomas mill is treiple-dipping | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | as non-productive actors bag a lot of "surplus" | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least I made use of my degree, even if just to stave off low-grade ad hom | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I spoke to my mom about it today | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | my parents are poorly educated | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I told her few people work in the area they did their phd in | Jun 25 20:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | true, it's fairly rare, though some are able to | Jun 25 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | you could tell him, in 20 years redbrick US degrees would deflate in value | Jun 25 20:30 |
