| schestowitz-TR | for month-to-month stats on gemini see botond's capsule | Apr 28 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just checked backup gz files again, all fine | Apr 28 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I might do a video about the lunduke thin | Apr 28 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | *thing | Apr 28 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | since I set up a job to test the integrity of gz file I never saw an error, so I've just checked | Apr 28 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | manually in case I miss something | Apr 28 08:43 |

| Techrights-sec | for the most part, he's been off his rocker for at least a year | Apr 28 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | to be fair to him,. he has a family to feed, his profession is dying (publishers, | Apr 28 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulagtube etc.), and there's this pandemic thing | Apr 28 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | that he cannot keep cool is a weakness | Apr 28 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | he did say some self-discrediting things | Apr 28 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he keeps making promises he cannot keep | Apr 28 08:46 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, even when giving him a lot of slack for getting money to feed his family | Apr 28 08:46 |
| Techrights-sec | I'd still have to say that he's been off his rocker | Apr 28 08:46 |
| Techrights-sec | can't or just plain doesn't | Apr 28 08:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | irc post for today? | Apr 28 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | (side note: today I tried to make a mental list of 4 thing to do, which was a mistaker, as even though | Apr 28 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did 4 things I cannot be entirely sure it was these things; so better to not even make the mental | Apr 28 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | lists: something like post bulletin, post irc, catch up with chat, and check daily links. I used to put in the palm | Apr 28 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | pda a "checkllist" of sorts, but that became more of a burden over time, so I stopped years ago) | Apr 28 09:14 |
| Techrights-sec | checkig | Apr 28 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think at the end it is, | Apr 28 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) either write things down | Apr 28 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) or don't make any lists at all, use intuition | Apr 28 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, the truly important things are likely written down already, in any case | Apr 28 09:16 |
| Techrights-sec | posting of links can happen any time but posting of IRC logs can only happen | Apr 28 09:17 |
| Techrights-sec | after they've been prepared, so the two activities cannot be paired | Apr 28 09:17 |
| Techrights-sec | one of the problems is that it becomes rote and done witout thought and thus | Apr 28 09:17 |
| Techrights-sec | is not thought about; it is overdue for automation but that is contingent | Apr 28 09:17 |
| Techrights-sec | upon the OS upgrade ... | Apr 28 09:17 |
| *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Apr 28 09:17 | |

| *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@v6xmmrhxmbafc.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Apr 28 09:17 | |
| schestowitz-TR | and probably CMS change, too | Apr 28 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the gemini side of IRC logs is automated and never gets it wrong when I check (which is rare) | Apr 28 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Gemini is handled on an uptodate OS | Apr 28 09:19 |
| Techrights-sec | more / better / relevant tools are available there | Apr 28 09:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | noptice how gemini always updates OK on its own following changes made with tc, some cleanup of stale | Apr 28 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | processes etc. | Apr 28 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've not even had to log in for a week | Apr 28 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've decided to do the video about lunduke later today along with the EPO video | Apr 28 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it's faster when several are done in a row | Apr 28 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't plan to cover gemini much anymore | Apr 28 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's still growing and there's lots I can just link to, instead | Apr 28 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 09:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the key message is, | Apr 28 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you want to support Gemini then, | Apr 28 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) use it | Apr 28 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) link to it | Apr 28 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | (b) follows (a) and (b) helps people learn about gemini because it they stmble upon gemini:// | Apr 28 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | link and want to open it, then they must learn something new | Apr 28 09:42 |
| Techrights-sec | more importantly, at this point in time, would be packaging for key distros | Apr 28 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | of the Gemini clients; that is the next step | Apr 28 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | it cannot grow beyond the niche it has without being accessible to normal | Apr 28 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | GNU/Linux and BSD users | Apr 28 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the moment a lot of gnu/linux and bsd users are technical | Apr 28 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | you could argue that growth can come through "mobile" | Apr 28 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if that sucks | Apr 28 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | seeing articles about mastodon, i wonder if the message should still be | Apr 28 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | just abandon social control media completely | Apr 28 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec | there's technical and then there's bleeding edge; both can agtee that it is | Apr 28 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec | not appropriate to require people to build from source and update from source | Apr 28 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec | in the context of average software | Apr 28 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec | I would say yes, that social control media in all its forms should be | Apr 28 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec | avoided for many reasons | Apr 28 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | other links/daily links no longer contain those | Apr 28 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST | Apr 28 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they have something important to say, they will blog about it | Apr 28 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if it can be summed up in one sentence alone | Apr 28 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | then it's likely not of much value | Apr 28 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and might not be verifiaable, which is likely the more important aspect | Apr 28 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec | especially since none of the articles truly explain the federated nature of | Apr 28 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Mastodon and even then the blacklists are automated and centralized anyway | Apr 28 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, blogging is the way to go | Apr 28 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | The Web we Lost - Anil Dash (article, talks etc.) [citation] | Apr 28 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | wow, lxer links to techrights today and the traffic is like... nothing. | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | yeah, don't smile too fast | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday I also saw 3 links from reddit | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | same, no traffic | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's becoming like traffic in twitter | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or casinos and gambling in the street or arcade tokens | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | they show you the "success stories" (like front page) | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | of jackpots | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but for 99% of more it's nothing but a dream | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | false marketing | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | some people join twitter for "activism" | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | because they saw Daily Mail something... | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | :) | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | So lxer is much smaller than it used to be | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | they promote those statistical anomalies as if they were the rule and not the | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | exception | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | Notice also that Facebook and the others only get 'growth' coverage and | Apr 28 10:00 |
| Techrights-sec | mostly only positive articles, to help keep them afloat | Apr 28 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | you have seen how I put it | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | the real news is that that facebook loses relevance | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that FB itself ADMITS it | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | using its secret, proprietary data | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and now the Zuck is getting to gripsm with it having no real future | Apr 28 10:03 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | so he wants some fiction he may have read about as a kid to | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) be hyped up by media like "hey hi" (metaverse, meta, vr, ar) | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) become market leader in this | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) keep shareholdera around for (b), based on lies in (a) | Apr 28 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft is the same in the post-Windows era | Apr 28 10:03 |

| Techrights-sec | seen and appears to have put them in a panic | Apr 28 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | the loss of github is problematic especially because too many idiots and | Apr 28 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | idiot journals try to conflate version control and Git specifically with GitHub | Apr 28 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | some of the time, not all the time, this is deliberate | Apr 28 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | the equiv. of producing FB "happy stories" (we met in FB, got married..) | Apr 28 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | BTW, ICBM does ther same | Apr 28 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I occasionally show examples of this | Apr 28 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF also (FOSSForce is one of their tentacles, but that can turn Christine into | Apr 28 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | another SPAMnil) | Apr 28 10:20 |
| Techrights-sec | In th beginning, every time FB started to ebb, the tabloids and worse filled | Apr 28 10:20 |
| Techrights-sec | with "happy stories" about FB | Apr 28 10:20 |
| Techrights-sec | FOMO was pushed heavily and still is | Apr 28 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | Girls I met online (and then in person) were always not good | Apr 28 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | not to say ones I met in person first were perfect | Apr 28 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least you find out evry fast | Apr 28 10:21 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 28 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot imagine doing job interviews or court hearings "online" | Apr 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | It is a grotesque notion that shows how supposed "progress" | Apr 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | is exactly the opposite of it | Apr 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like calling pr0n a progress for sex | Apr 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | or like calling [something] better than xuisine | Apr 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | cannot think of that something yet, maybne a pastry and coffee at starbucks | Apr 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | hmmmmmmmm!!! STARBUCKS... SOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!! | Apr 28 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | Most places make it illegal to dig around online and especially in social | Apr 28 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | control media for job applicants, but the way around that is to outsource | Apr 28 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | part of the hiring process one or two layers deep and turn a blind eye to | Apr 28 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | contractor abuses and violations | Apr 28 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag approached me 2-3 times over the years after "stalking" me online | Apr 28 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I assume in USENET | Apr 28 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | if that's illegal, and according to what chris DiBono told me this is in fact what the recruiters do | Apr 28 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | (along with headhunting), then maybe legal action is overdue | Apr 28 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | *DiBona | Apr 28 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | (of course he tries to destroy GNU/RMS/FSF now) | Apr 28 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | (the millionaire turncoat who is troubled by poor activists) | Apr 28 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Google approached me in person a *very* long time ago but I was quit turned | Apr 28 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | off by their (then) recent hiring of microsofters and spend the encounter | Apr 28 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | warning them of the consequences of bringing microsofters inside the company | Apr 28 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | needsless to say they did not heed and my warnings were proven prescient :( | Apr 28 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | Red Hat has had similar problems | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | Not sure about Canonical | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at the back of our minds we should perpetuALLy have this lingering reminder | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | that states too DO NOT want citizens to control their devices | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | s | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | so there will be coordinated efforts to promote centralised "media" | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and consolidated media | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | not blogs | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | or OSes that are like chromeOS | Apr 28 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a compromise for when Windows is up in flames and down in market share | Apr 28 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | Canonical has been thoroughly ruined from the inside by microsofters. | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | The exit strategy seems to be to bail via IPO next year. | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | Correct, a lot of overt and covert action will be taken to ensure that | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | groups and projects move in a centralized, proprietary direction. | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | Remmber the "licensing disagreement" that blocked the pro-open standards | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | web sites, almost down to a site, during the hours that some of the European | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | states were deliberating on OOXML. That "disagrteement" was resolved within | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | minutes of the decision and within an hour or so, service was restored once it | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | was too late to influence the decision(s) | Apr 28 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | LXD is not available on Devuan and only via Snaps on Debian. :/ | Apr 28 10:34 |
| Techrights-sec | LXC is somewhat insecure, last I read :\ | Apr 28 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | ectra complexity was never good for security | Apr 28 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | for a number of reasons | Apr 28 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know, I know... they will say "insulation", "isolatioon", "abstraction" etc. | Apr 28 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but containers are not the way | Apr 28 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | you end up having to deal with a lot more files all over the place | Apr 28 10:36 |
| Techrights-sec | a Snaps on Debian. :/ | Apr 28 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec | LXC is somewhat insecure, last I read :\ | Apr 28 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec | I figure shared hosting may the best way to go, but I can see some convenience | Apr 28 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec | factors with "just" copying a large image from one machine to another | Apr 28 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec | The container itself is a service and a complex one at that. Complexity is BAD.From the little I see of LXC / LXD | Apr 28 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec | and FreeBSD jails, FreeBSD jails seem | Apr 28 10:38 |
| Techrights-sec | worlds better. | Apr 28 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | disk space got cheaper | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | b/w is less of a problem in most places | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | www got bloated because it's "faster" (for development) to ignore contraints and limits | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | similarly, on the server side and desktop (flatpak/snap), containers are seen as "compromise" | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | just get half a gig of "stuff" for some small progra | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | AppImages are also MASSIVE | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but we no longer federate installs using cd-roms or even DVDs | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | from what I recall, the install media for Vista 11 is loaded with lots of very very | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | poor-quality cruft | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is where the world goes (EPO also): low-quality junk in high quantities | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | kettle every year, OS with EOL after 2 years, patents on CHEWING GUM | Apr 28 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | ==== | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | on a positive note, I think we have done a fantastic job, all things considered (like people moving to "apps" | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | as jail-as-'media'), in TM and TR | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had to cut off a lot of the patent new picks as it's more noisy than it's worth | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am back to work tonight, but will do a recording on EPO (now in lxer) and Lunduke | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | The upside of his articles, lunacy notwithstanding (I saw none of the rest; I dumped him like a hot potato | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | when he was shilling Microsoft), is they they legitimise what we've long said about OSI, LF, and others | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you can be sure he has read us as when you research those issues Techrights is very visible | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence the likes of Gulagboy coming to IRC looking for "material" | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | last week I learned that it's "homophobic" to be against PentaGAFAM | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if you write about an org led by someone whom you presume is hetero | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I think that trick will backfire on him | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | He stepped away from OSI, partly, this year | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | Phipps is back | Apr 28 10:47 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, a lot of good work and you do a *lot* of work | Apr 28 10:47 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 10:47 |
| Techrights-sec | In a good way or a bad way? | Apr 28 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, I don't want to ctrl c/v into unix term | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | go to the osi site/blog, search for webmink or phipps | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | he wrote about things like patents | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I think is an area they should be active in | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | he rallied people in the EU to submit input | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used to chat with him privately about those issues | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | before we got into big arguments over the OSI's direction and Patrick resigned | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was so proud that he promoted diversity that he lost sight | Apr 28 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | of what those people stood for (or didn't) | Apr 28 10:51 |
| Techrights-sec | That's good news then. | Apr 28 10:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would be counter-productive if I wrote something like, phipps is back and writing | Apr 28 10:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | going on "RT" for an interview is a bit like doping | Apr 28 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it might seem like a good idea (at the time) | Apr 28 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but years later you can get blacklisted like Russian atheletes | Apr 28 11:04 |

| schestowitz-TR | neither of us is an accountant | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I was thinking in th e kitchen | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the company was insolvent years ago | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they say "IPO", does that mean buying time with other people's money? | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | Also, MS (Mark S) claims profits | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | why now? | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | Why not before? | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | They killed off the community | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | in a lot of ways | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | could he be faking it and, if the firm is private, what would be the ramifications? | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | (nb. most businesses do not make money, but they hide it or talk about "the future") | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | [this is brainstorming IN CASE I want to thjrow a hat in the ring] | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | if a company turns from losses to big profits while the users of its flagship product FLEE, something | Apr 28 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems a tad "off" | Apr 28 12:04 |
| Techrights-sec | It's probably his way of cashing out and leaving, having had enough | Apr 28 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, here is the thing | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I said something dismissive | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | and someone said, "PROVE IT!" | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | I would not have compelling material | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | but intuition and guy feelign say he's just making proclamation | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | to encourage people to invest | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | but once they see if from the inside, they'll realise it has many server | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | users but not so much money | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of that happens, buyer's remorse | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | like IBM | Apr 28 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | ---- | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | years ago mandriva was enraged that MS (Mark S), having grabbed the lion's share of desktyop users, | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | moaned that there was "no money in it" | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | while he was doing ShipIt | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Mandriva was trying toi upsell superpacks | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | so even then he complained he was in it for money | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | not altruism | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then focused more on eating debian's and icbm's lunch | Apr 28 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of microsoft's or apple's | Apr 28 12:21 |
| Techrights-sec | yes Mark could have done well except for allowing the microsofters into MOTU | Apr 28 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | which damaged the project + company, then he made the damage permanent | Apr 28 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | by hiring in more micrtosofters and placing them within the company | Apr 28 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | the first I knew of, via IRC ("tacone" from Italy) was Rick Sponcer | Apr 28 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | later Jono Bacon was licking the boot | Apr 28 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then there was the Azure turnoff, WSL etc. | Apr 28 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | WSL failed so badly | Apr 28 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | that it's mostly WINDOWS sites shilling it, and even that it rare this year | Apr 28 12:23 |
| Techrights-sec | Bacon was a spinmeister and more a diode than conduit, he was to lord on high | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | to the community about how they were going to have to accept, than interact | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | with the community and negotiate mutal goals and work towards them; | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | he was a *VERY BIG PART* of the problem with Canonical; Yet despite doing | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | so much damage to the company and the project he was lauded for his efforts | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | rather than thrashed and driven out into isolation | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | as he more rightly deserved | Apr 28 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Many were fooled by his (mis-)use of the title Community Manager and did not | Apr 28 12:34 |
| Techrights-sec | look further at his harmful actions. | Apr 28 12:34 |
| Techrights-sec | add one more to the fail pile if you count his time at Ubuntu ... | Apr 28 12:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | "art" of community managerment | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | his art is not graphics, or barely. His "art" is shouting into the microphone. | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I think speaks "volumes". | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | "bad volume" | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | his current podcast | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | he had many failed ones over the years, more than I can recall | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | "bad volume" barely even focuses on Free software | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | his prior podcast was named after booze | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | he worked at github while Microsoft ambushed the company for takeover | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | (afaik, github manmagement was aware all along) | Apr 28 12:35 |
| Techrights-sec | I would not be surprised if he had somehow contributed to the demise of GitHub | Apr 28 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was there for a relatively short time, I think they failed to find somthing for him to do | Apr 28 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | as he lacked both the technical skills or.... well....what else? | Apr 28 12:36 |

| Techrights-sec | yep | Apr 28 15:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media is also mostly centralised | Apr 28 15:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | they cover the same BS | Apr 28 15:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | which comes from the same regimes and corporations | Apr 28 15:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | using the same funnels, such as Gulag search and FB | Apr 28 15:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | to them, www is just a bunch of "companies" and "stores" | Apr 28 15:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is not how the web started | Apr 28 15:43 |
| Techrights-sec | "Wired" at least has the federation part described correctly, despite it being | Apr 28 15:44 |

| Techrights-sec | However, didn't mastodon have its roots in GNUsocial? | Apr 28 15:46 |

| Techrights-sec | if you are still looking for video topics | Apr 28 15:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think you remember it not accurately, except the term "fediverse | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | " | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | mastodon afaik started from scratch as Twitter clone | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and statusnet being gnu social predated that by a lot | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | later they connected across 'CMS' stuff, inc. for video | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | but never got around to diaspora | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | which likely hurt diaspora | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | (btw, THEY ARE ALL SHIT!) | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | they used to have many users, mastodon had momentum in 2017, but it's all going down the toilet | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's why joindiaspora pulled the plug... not many active users left | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is not a twitter issue (Also down) | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | or FB (down) | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the concept | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | gamification of filtered communications | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | moanths ago when joindiaspora was throwiong in the towel I shows you some stats in a site that combinees all | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of the activity is historical | Apr 28 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | in recent years you saw lots of shutdowns, inc. distrotoot and drew devault's instance | Apr 28 15:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | draft | Apr 28 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | the summary was an attempt at EPO tie-in, but I will expand a bit | Apr 28 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | needs a tie-in to the EPO in the intro so that the reader knows this will | Apr 28 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | be about patents or the EPO itself | Apr 28 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | same for the conclusions | Apr 28 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | thanks | Apr 28 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, check the new summary and last paragraph | Apr 28 16:35 |

| schestowitz-TR | 1) I was frustrated to lose my first recording re EPO, but the second time around was better anyway | Apr 28 18:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I learn my lessons (obs double checking) without losing anything os immense value | Apr 28 18:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) while recording about lunmduke I realised he created some straw men | Apr 28 18:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | several incorrect assertion that can in fact discredit some of our thesis | Apr 28 18:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so in a 'defensive' move I think my article will be focused on stating that is not true/accurate | Apr 28 18:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and set the record straight | Apr 28 18:50 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec | strawmen are important to identify, they are distractions from the core issue | Apr 28 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | As I go along the text, like last year with vaccines, I realise | Apr 28 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | he mighht do more harm to us than good | Apr 28 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | with these straw men | Apr 28 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | on the surface OK, but it's easy to prove him wreong | Apr 28 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | or misguided on COVID, too | Apr 28 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | My text will be defensive | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | not what I planned | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | \I had a very fast read last night | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but now, while recording, I saw many small errors | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will use the text to focus on that | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | to defend what we have shown | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | Lunduke might become the straw man, almost literally, for these issues | Apr 28 18:58 |

| schestowitz-TR | so sometimes it clicks twice, not once | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually it's not causing any serious issues that I cannot correct | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | today it did m record/stop in succesion | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I consider myself lucky as I managed to recall about 20 minutes' worth of thingsd I said and say the same more | Apr 28 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | concisely | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I should not involutarily lose recordings | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | so now there is another step in the checklist | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | obs does not make it very obvious when it records | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | with webcomoid I have better protocols in place | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, after recording i had somew technical issue with a file, taking me about 20 minutes to correct | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | i.e. ther equivalent of time wasted recording to something that was not recording | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's all relative | Apr 28 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | not just defend but also bring the discussion back on topic since strawmen | Apr 28 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | fallacies are one form of distraction | Apr 28 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe the mouse can be disassembled and cleaned to restore it to working | Apr 28 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | condition. if not then it MUST be recycled in the electonic waste :( | Apr 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | a simpler, well-overdue alternative is, improve the protcol for doubelk checking... in caase of double clicking: -) | Apr 28 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I tend not to throw anything away | Apr 28 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is the first time I lose something with obs and it's not the fault of obs | Apr 28 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are more concrete issue like face and souns not being properly synched | Apr 28 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | because my hardware is not strerong enough | Apr 28 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | draft | Apr 28 19:07 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 19:09 |
| Techrights-sec | broken equipment needs to be either repaired or removed permanently in such | Apr 28 19:09 |
| Techrights-sec | a way as to prevent reuse either through temptation or forgetfulness | Apr 28 19:09 |
| Techrights-sec | a reminder of the self-styled nature of the nickname is in order if it is | Apr 28 19:09 |
| Techrights-sec | used | Apr 28 19:09 |
| Techrights-sec | also it needs to be reminded (as always) that EPO is not part of the EU | Apr 28 19:09 |
| Techrights-sec | epsecially since EU is mentioned | Apr 28 19:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will revise the text a bit | Apr 28 19:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I attempted to recall things I said when thinking I was recording and it was not recording | Apr 28 19:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | but anyway, lessons learned, no major harm done | Apr 28 19:10 |

| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 19:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | it will always be a terrible feeling losing text of multimedia you worked on | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | with text it can be worse because text is a process with refinements | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | whereas audio can be spontaneous | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's impossible to meliminate all data loss | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but possible to reduce it | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | with text, I now write to the pi over ssh (all working text files) | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the pi dies, I have local copies | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the local machine dies, the piu has all the files | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but tbh,m I very rarely lose text | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I lost an article more than 10 years ago after the palm PDA messed something up in the transfer | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | ity was something about Vista 7 | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not a very long or detailed article | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the one I did "interview" for muktware) inside the gym | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | that one was rather long | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I at least know I did what was possible to reduce loss (horrible feeling) and it no longer happens | Apr 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | often, then I'm happy | Apr 28 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | yep | Apr 28 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | it is hard torecreae the old flow | Apr 28 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 28 19:28 |
| Techrights-sec | things generally work when watched closely, when it comes to intermittent problems | Apr 28 19:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | I think it'll be OK now, on your backups you may have up to 4 uncompressed TM dumps | Apr 28 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am compressing the 5 of them now | Apr 28 19:40 |
