[09:10] schestowitz-TR I've just git pulled, thanks for making the changes [09:10] schestowitz-TR I am still not sure what will happen after Friday when JS shuts down [09:10] schestowitz-TR techdirt is now on wordpress [09:10] schestowitz-TR the site itself looks almost the same [09:15] Techrights-sec I hope the TechDirt migration is problem free. It was probably a lot of work to [09:15] Techrights-sec ensure a consistent appearance. That makes it seem likely that a theme [09:15] Techrights-sec can be modified to keep the current appearance of TR in a newer version of [09:15] Techrights-sec WordPress [09:17] schestowitz-TR yes. [09:17] schestowitz-TR but this is not the problem. [09:17] schestowitz-TR I saw recent versions of WP. [09:17] schestowitz-TR Mostly at work., [09:17] schestowitz-TR I did not want to overwhelm you with things overnight. [09:17] schestowitz-TR But one thing that came to mind was, [09:17] schestowitz-TR I wonder if their RSS feeds' structure will require adaptation [09:17] schestowitz-TR at our end. [09:17] schestowitz-TR Also, I have a draft ready (first pass only), [09:17] schestowitz-TR for the next post [09:17] Techrights-sec Ill try to remember to check [09:17] Techrights-sec checking draft [09:22] Techrights-sec s/secone/second/ [09:22] Techrights-sec maybe start out in the first paragaraph with what is in the third paragraph [09:22] Techrights-sec at the moment. It's the importnat thesis to be covered in the post perhaps? [09:23] schestowitz-TR Thanks, I am going to take a look in a moment. Got a long list of things lined up, maybe even next part on github. The long videos are a bit of a venting outlet, as reading so many lies and then reacting was no joy \(but necessary) [09:27] Techrights-sec I'm noticing more that this conflict is causing further normalization of [09:27] Techrights-sec government misuse of social control media.

[10:08] Techrights-sec Eschew social control media for the duration of Lent? [10:08] Techrights-sec Or permanently? [10:24] schestowitz-TR on firday nighth we all get cut off [10:24] schestowitz-TR then I will see how time management and owrkflow and mood change [10:24] schestowitz-TR remember that identi.ca I started in 2009 [10:24] schestowitz-TR prior to that I did not bothers with these things and could focus on USENET and [10:24] schestowitz-TR boycottnovell [10:24] Techrights-sec Yes accounts get lost when instance get shut down. [10:24] Techrights-sec Social control media is particularly ephemeral. [10:27] Techrights-sec UseNet was good in its time but astroturfers and shills havce been used [10:27] Techrights-sec en masse to ruin it. However, more importantly, ISPs stopped providing [10:27] Techrights-sec UseNet hosting and stopped even mentioning it. [10:29] schestowitz-TR I have just closed the video of Rob [10:29] schestowitz-TR he's playing into the hands of the attackers [10:29] schestowitz-TR by trying too justify himsef [10:29] schestowitz-TR and showing off [10:29] schestowitz-TR people like these neeed to be ignoired [10:29] schestowitz-TR he sort of gives them a platform [10:29] schestowitz-TR and the impression of equal footing [10:29] schestowitz-TR which is likely what they want [10:29] schestowitz-TR he could make 9 1-0minute videos expoising new information instead [10:29] schestowitz-TR reddit is not a country [10:29] schestowitz-TR and it should be treated as a trollzone [10:29] Techrights-sec still unsolved: https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/1986-swedish-prime-minister-assass [10:29] Techrights-sec nated.html [10:29] Techrights-sec The have him on the defensive / reacting, it's a bad position [10:29] Techrights-sec Not necessarilky ignored but the provocations ignored and focus on what [10:29] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/1986-swedish-prime-minister-assass ) [10:29] Techrights-sec they are distracting from. [10:29] Techrights-sec ack [10:29] Techrights-sec Corporate astroturfer zone. [10:31] schestowitz-TR I agree with that last point [10:31] schestowitz-TR do not say what they claim [10:31] schestowitz-TR you can take note [10:31] schestowitz-TR write down the subject at hand [10:31] schestowitz-TR then repeat what you said before [10:31] schestowitz-TR again and again [10:31] schestowitz-TR don't acknowledge the smears [10:31] schestowitz-TR it is a lot more effective [10:32] schestowitz-TR in the case of ukraine, atm, we need toi remind people of the role of windows [10:32] schestowitz-TR the microsoftie sites try to mnetion "Linux" in contexts that would [10:32] schestowitz-TR distract from it ● Feb 28 [11:07] Techrights-sec yes all countries are at a severe disadvantage because of M$ politics [11:07] Techrights-sec M4 /is/ politics and has little to nothing to do with actual IT except [11:07] Techrights-sec that it is able to block its deployment [11:07] Techrights-sec and replace IT staff with mind-numbed drones incapably of coherent, logical [11:07] Techrights-sec thought but good at rote memorization of various M$ rites.

Can EPO examiners try to shop their story around to their respective [13:46] Techrights-sec national news sites? [13:46] schestowitz-TR they can try, but the instructions from above say leave the EPO alone.. [13:47] Techrights-sec That in itself would be very important to track down and document.

[15:14] Techrights-sec The list of national broadcasters can be of use to EPO staff in reaching out [15:14] Techrights-sec about the upcoming strike. Given that the EPO is the second largest [15:14] Techrights-sec international organisation in Europe, the news is relevant to the memeber [15:14] Techrights-sec states.
