[07:35] schestowitz-TR draft [07:35] schestowitz-TR very thing RT.. and his one time at Alex Jones/DisinfoWar [07:35] schestowitz-TR *everything [07:37] Techrights-sec2 I had not known about the latter; that was even worse judgement than talking to [07:37] Techrights-sec2 RT. However, the most foolish of all was his going to Redmond; There aren't [07:37] Techrights-sec2 words to describe how stupid that looked even at the time, now that some time [07:37] Techrights-sec2 has passed, it looks even more foolish. That's really too bad, because he [07:37] Techrights-sec2 may not be able to make up for it [07:37] Techrights-sec2 strategically [07:38] schestowitz-TR Coin-operated SJVN has since then used that to say even RMS is OK with Microsoft [07:38] schestowitz-TR and thus anyone who dislikes Microsoft is even 'more extreme' than RMS [07:39] Techrights-sec2 Yep, they will continue to milk that for decades, assuming they are around that [07:39] Techrights-sec2 long. If RMS kicks off soon, they will even pull not just an "OK with" but [07:39] Techrights-sec2 a posthumous endorsement out of it like many did with Swartz [07:53] schestowitz-TR draft [07:53] Techrights-sec2 ack [07:53] Techrights-sec2 btw there was a good article in popsci or something like that evaluating [07:53] Techrights-sec2 laptops with Linux pre-installed [07:53] Techrights-sec2 checking draft ... [07:55] schestowitz-TR that's the article I mentioned to you yesterday [07:55] schestowitz-TR I added that to tuxmachines [07:55] schestowitz-TR about once a ay I check gulag noise to see what "Linux" news I do not yet have an rss feed for, then I search for feed categry [07:55] schestowitz-TR and try to cover the gap [07:55] schestowitz-TR until some time from now when I won't check anymore [07:55] schestowitz-TR popsci won't cover Linux often [07:55] schestowitz-TR so even if there is an rss feed for such a category [07:55] Techrights-sec2 how is LF paying journalists to play along? [07:56] schestowitz-TR it would be a wasste of b/w at both ends [07:56] schestowitz-TR it is explained in the video [07:56] schestowitz-TR it pays their employer (site) [07:56] Techrights-sec2 ok that it is explained in the video ought to be mentioned in the texxt [07:56] Techrights-sec2 to encourage listening to the video ● Jun 26 [08:02] schestowitz-TR I have added a long footnote as that was technically easier [08:02] schestowitz-TR I think we must repeat and repoeat the LF info [08:02] schestowitz-TR in different ways and angles [08:02] schestowitz-TR even if people get upset at LF they tend to forget and mayeb forgive after a while [08:02] schestowitz-TR I mentions jperlow in passing [08:02] schestowitz-TR along with various other things [08:02] schestowitz-TR I forgot to mention patents in the video [08:02] schestowitz-TR so compensated in the text later [08:07] Techrights-sec2 ack [08:08] schestowitz-TR with lunuke with "LONG footmind-19" [08:08] schestowitz-TR *foggymind [08:08] schestowitz-TR and with the likes of FOSSForce bought/bribed [08:09] schestowitz-TR the number of people capable of touching this subject is very small [08:09] schestowitz-TR which is what they want of course [08:09] schestowitz-TR never underestimate the power of liars with access to oversized budgets (EPO had BILLIONS, more than LF) [08:14] Techrights-sec2 yes [08:14] Techrights-sec2 Lunduke hasn't been all right for a very long time now [08:15] schestowitz-TR if the wife is working, he might be OK [08:15] schestowitz-TR see the above link (gemini) about not having a car at these times [08:15] schestowitz-TR with gas price [08:16] Techrights-sec2 yes that was a good link [08:16] Techrights-sec2 unfortunately most US communities are designed so that it is physically [08:16] Techrights-sec2 impossible to operate without a car; and if one tries there will be social, [08:16] Techrights-sec2 legal, or dangers to contend with [08:16] Techrights-sec2 taxis would be the next alternative but that is still a form of car usage [08:27] Techrights-sec2 cars are the opposite of freedom [08:27] Techrights-sec2 and by car, that includes all the "light" trucks that people actually drive [08:27] Techrights-sec2 while still calling them cars [08:28] schestowitz-TR cars, like kids, are a liability [08:28] schestowitz-TR I have 5 nieces and newphews [08:28] schestowitz-TR and they are iether miserable right now (in the US) or have learning/development perils [08:28] schestowitz-TR which begets misery for the parents [08:33] schestowitz-TR "This capsule is now self-hosted on an ESP32 development board (ESP32-DevKitC V4) connected to a phone charger and Wi-Fi." gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com/self-hosting-on-esp32.gmi [08:34] Techrights-sec2 both are common, but the former is ubquitous; businesses have maneuvered [08:34] Techrights-sec2 society into being pure misery for most adults and for all kids [08:34] Techrights-sec2 and it's worse for the kids because they have not learned to lie to themselves [08:34] Techrights-sec2 about their situation [08:34] Techrights-sec2 then looking ahead they see only trouble, at best [08:34] Techrights-sec2 we're in a situation now where "TikTok" (chinese business) and other social [08:34] Techrights-sec2 control media companies determine what is culture these days, not the other [08:34] Techrights-sec2 way around [08:34] Techrights-sec2 up until the 1980s the businesses (tv and such) reflected society and society [08:34] Techrights-sec2 and culture were determined by the population sort of organically [08:34] Techrights-sec2 now it's a top-down model [08:34] Techrights-sec2 anyway, the tech part of that is the abuse of addictive models via social [08:34] Techrights-sec2 control media to weaken and steer large volumes of individuals [08:34] Techrights-sec2 ESP32 is quite weak, it can barely handle the encryption necessary for the [08:34] Techrights-sec2 protocol and will crap out on the wireless quite often; though in all fairness [08:34] Techrights-sec2 WiFi is unsuitable even for general purpose computers and would be best [08:34] Techrights-sec2 removed and replaced with a completely different approach [08:37] schestowitz-TR my pi is still on wired, a 'short leash' literally almost [08:37] schestowitz-TR 1.2 m iirc [08:37] schestowitz-TR i have other, longer cords [08:37] schestowitz-TR but the reason isn't wifi being reliable only part of the time (it is actually very [08:37] schestowitz-TR reliable here since the upgrades) [08:38] schestowitz-TR the issue is the kernel I think [08:50] Techrights-sec2 wired is a lot faster [08:50] Techrights-sec2 if stuff is not moving around physically then wired connections are much less [08:50] Techrights-sec2 of a hassle and worth the speed increase [08:53] schestowitz-TR I already told rianne twice that the pi won't be going back upstairs even when the wifi/kernel thing is tackled and it's wintertime (warmer [08:53] schestowitz-TR upstairs, I might move back there in October) [08:53] schestowitz-TR but the reason was not speed; it's just that I configures the scripts and the router for the wired setup, which is treated as separate from [08:53] schestowitz-TR wifi [08:53] schestowitz-TR and anyway I've learned to mostly ignore alerts on it and there is no screen attached. [08:53] schestowitz-TR we used to have an alaer for when irc scrollback over gemini:// did not update [08:53] schestowitz-TR I don't think this has been a problem for a while now...

it's not just the holiday but the holiday was [14:46] Techrights-sec2 probably used to time the ramp down [14:48] schestowitz-TR a lot of these are not news sites per se but blogs of people [14:48] schestowitz-TR they too seem to have taken the foot off the pedal [14:48] schestowitz-TR and without an inflow of information it is difficult to produce output [14:48] schestowitz-TR the "blank page syndrome" was not an issue eyars ago, there was just a lack of time to cover all the important things [14:48] schestowitz-TR even the "planets" of distros are reletively stale [14:48] schestowitz-TR technically everything works [14:48] schestowitz-TR but nobody is producing [14:48] Techrights-sec2 ack [14:48] Techrights-sec2 that's separate from the general news slowdow in some ways [14:48] Techrights-sec2 private individuals are ramping down, too [14:52] schestowitz-TR I need to adjust or reconsider a bit how I cover feeds, or add new ones, of new set of filters to run through the general newss sites [14:52] schestowitz-TR gulag noise was getting far too messy [14:52] schestowitz-TR I really should have already abandoned it more than a year ago [14:52] schestowitz-TR it was angst, strife, and timewasting most of the time [14:52] schestowitz-TR for the mere chanc of finding the silver needle [14:52] schestowitz-TR until 2019 (IIRC) I also searched for "open source" news and it ended up mainly openwashing, spam/PR, and mindless junk that [14:52] schestowitz-TR does not even resemble journalism [14:53] schestowitz-TR it had already gone downhill by then [14:53] schestowitz-TR if it were not for tuxmachines, I'd likely have adopted another strategy or catch-words [14:53] schestowitz-TR not that "Linux" gets us good ratio, esp. as there's this parasite called "LF" [14:53] schestowitz-TR So I get vaccine news and "crypto" news and shit [14:53] schestowitz-TR even in yewtu.be [14:53] schestowitz-TR today I searched torvalds [14:53] schestowitz-TR and got a ton of "crypto" junk from the past week [14:54] Techrights-sec2 Google News has such a low yield of relevant links that I find it hard to [14:54] Techrights-sec2 imagine that many people still use it even out of inertia; I certainly can't [14:54] Techrights-sec2 imagine that new people would begin using it since it is just crap [14:54] Techrights-sec2 the keyword "Linux" is attached to all kinds of crap unrelated to the actual [14:54] Techrights-sec2 topic of Linux, kernels, and similar [14:54] Techrights-sec2 I'm not sure what to say other than to comiserate [14:57] schestowitz-TR worse yet, you saw LINUX.COM [14:57] schestowitz-TR you get things like family stories and work police and...
