| schestowitz-TR2 | did I miss anything? | Oct 28 07:19 |
|---|---|---|
| techrights-sec[2] | nothing missed except a heads up about maintenance########################## | Oct 28 07:53 |
| techrights-sec[2] | startpage, however, had moved to requiring javascript a few days ago and as of | Oct 28 07:53 |
| techrights-sec[2] | today blocks most functionality (at least from GNU/Linux) | Oct 28 07:53 |
| techrights-sec[2] | There were ways past it until a few days ago. | Oct 28 07:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | weird. I thought it had moved to requiring it like 4-5 years ago | Oct 28 07:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | quite a day in wall street! | Oct 28 07:53 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | the clown-first company is still firing "azure" workers (it's just a label) | Oct 28 07:57 |
| techrights-sec[2] | That firing should be highlighted, to counter the bullshit they spew about | Oct 28 07:58 |
| techrights-sec[2] | their over-priced, underpowered, unreliable hosting services. | Oct 28 07:58 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Ok | Oct 28 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I already did a mention of this the other day | Oct 28 07:58 |

| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Oct 28 08:25 | |
| techrights-sec[2] | How much of the "revenue" attributed to azure is simply the result of | Oct 28 08:33 |
| techrights-sec[2] | transferring line items from other parts of the budget? | Oct 28 08:33 |
| techrights-sec[2] | ^ topic ? | Oct 28 08:33 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | and lots of trails to check, we're going though a survey of some atm | Oct 28 11:29 |
| matteobin | Nice! I love hiking. | Oct 28 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but this is a rare chance | Oct 28 11:30 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | i wish I could live somewhere like this | Oct 28 11:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | economically it is harder there | Oct 28 11:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a close friend of mine was from there before he left manchester | Oct 28 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | gianluca | Oct 28 11:37 |
| matteobin | Where I live? Really? I wouldn't have guessed it. Maybe it's because I've always lived here. | Oct 28 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | his family had worked abroad in dubai | Oct 28 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but like many students he came here for education | Oct 28 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | was around cambridge last I spoke to him | Oct 28 11:38 |
| matteobin | I like where I live. I really like Italy. | Oct 28 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | did his phd there | Oct 28 11:38 |
| matteobin | Well it's not Dubai, but Tuscany is a great place to live. | Oct 28 11:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | many italians travel for the money | Oct 28 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | us, uk, even gulf states | Oct 28 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not sure they find happiness | Oct 28 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but some find more money | Oct 28 11:39 |
| matteobin | I think life is cheaper than in London. | Oct 28 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not the same | Oct 28 11:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, but many high-paying jobs are in the big cities | Oct 28 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and i reckon milan is very expensive to live in | Oct 28 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but have not checked | Oct 28 11:40 |
| matteobin | Yeah, sure, in Italy you won't get rich working in IT. | Oct 28 11:40 |
| matteobin | However I would not like to do those jobs that might make you rich. | Oct 28 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | many chase the high salaries and pay a lot of those in rent fees | Oct 28 11:40 |
| matteobin | Milan is a bit more like London. | Oct 28 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | my salary is very small | Oct 28 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but the job is easy | Oct 28 11:41 |
| matteobin | How much, if I may? | Oct 28 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 26.5k/year | Oct 28 11:41 |
| techrights-sec[2] | So I guess the shift might be due to hellenius having moved on | Oct 28 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | techrights-sec[2]: | Oct 28 11:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, but he must still be around somewhere. I cannot recall how to sell his name | Oct 28 11:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | just how it sounds | Oct 28 11:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some flemmish | Oct 28 11:43 |
| matteobin | Is that without tax? That's more than I get! :D | Oct 28 11:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | before tax | Oct 28 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but tax is not high at those band | Oct 28 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | most of national insurance (health) | Oct 28 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | techrights-sec[2]: | Oct 28 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | can you confirm new "merged" file compared to previous merged file is just the same sans the automated? | Oct 28 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | (thanks in advance, don't wanna miss anything) | Oct 28 11:47 |
| matteobin | I get about 1400 € without tax. | Oct 28 11:47 |
| techrights-sec[2] | yes | Oct 28 11:47 |
| techrights-sec[2] | the new one has the automated links or at least should | Oct 28 11:47 |
| techrights-sec[2] | the old one was missing the links | Oct 28 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | matteobin: how is the job? | Oct 28 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | hard? | Oct 28 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | challenging? | Oct 28 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | fun? | Oct 28 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some work from home? | Oct 28 11:48 |

| *Mio14 has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) | Oct 28 11:48 | |
| matteobin | The job is easy. Some collegues are nice. | Oct 28 11:51 |
| matteobin | I work from home 3/5 days per week. | Oct 28 11:51 |
| matteobin | I get a lot of time to do my stuff. | Oct 28 11:51 |
| matteobin | But I would like to change it, because it's not ethical. | Oct 28 11:51 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | good | Oct 28 11:51 |
| matteobin | It's hard to get GNU jobs in Italy. | Oct 28 11:51 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sounds simialr to me | Oct 28 11:51 |
| matteobin | I'm not interested in money very much. | Oct 28 11:52 |
| matteobin | I would like to make 1500/1600 oer month, but that's about it. | Oct 28 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | which part of the job do you deem unethical? | Oct 28 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I was planning to leave my jobs this year | Oct 28 11:52 |
| matteobin | All of it! :D | Oct 28 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and had big arguments with my bosses | Oct 28 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but they became quite apologetic | Oct 28 11:52 |
| matteobin | I am a full stack web developer. | Oct 28 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so for now I'm still there | Oct 28 11:52 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | until I know what's "open secret" a video or article would be of little value IMHO | Oct 28 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | when I researched this a week ago I found out azure had layoffs again | Oct 28 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and some insider said they had FOUR waves of layoffs this year | Oct 28 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but that is not verified (by me) | Oct 28 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | seems like 'hearsay' | Oct 28 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | matteobin: wordpress is not too bad | Oct 28 11:53 |
| matteobin | We use a lot of Microsoft stuff. | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | which part is not ethical? | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ah | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | microsoft stuff | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I refuse to do that | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some charity in africa wanted me to volunteer | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and then I found out it was loads of microsoft crap | Oct 28 11:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and bailed out | Oct 28 11:54 |
| matteobin | Well it wouldn't be too bad if we weren't using visual composers full of shit JS. | Oct 28 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that is what wordpress has become | Oct 28 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in recent vesrsions, starting ariund v4.x | Oct 28 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | reactjs and crap | Oct 28 11:55 |
| matteobin | I have to use Windows because of our core business. | Oct 28 11:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that sucks | Oct 28 11:56 |
| matteobin | Most of our software runs on Windows, crappy management software. | Oct 28 11:56 |
| matteobin | Sometimes I make customisations to those. | Oct 28 11:57 |
| matteobin | It's a compromise. | Oct 28 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I'd like to have offered a referral for you | Oct 28 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but I don't know companies that hire atm | Oct 28 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I know many that shrink | Oct 28 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | let me put it like this | Oct 28 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 2020: many jobs work from home | Oct 28 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 2021: businesses reopening, temptation to leave | Oct 28 11:58 |
| matteobin | At least I dual boot Debian and they know I'm very versed in Free Software. | Oct 28 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 2022: businesses collapsing | Oct 28 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so even all those "work from home" jobs are getting harder to find again | Oct 28 11:58 |
| matteobin | It's no problem really. It's hard for all of us FOSS guys. I'll manage to find something else. | Oct 28 11:58 |
| matteobin | Thanks anyway. :) | Oct 28 11:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | set aside how they want to herd workers back into "offices" (cages of metal and glass) | Oct 28 11:58 |
| matteobin | There are good things about my job too. | Oct 28 11:59 |
| matteobin | You are right. The next years will surely be interesting. | Oct 28 11:59 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, and inflation... | Oct 28 12:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's getting harder to find discounts, even though we're very good at it | Oct 28 12:00 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | which I checked in the is site | Oct 28 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you asked about fsf | Oct 28 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think better save the money for our own needs | Oct 28 13:41 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | campaigns | Oct 28 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I can think of a dozen diffeent issues on which an fsf campaign would help | Oct 28 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even just by virtue of existing on the site | Oct 28 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Ihave not seen a highpriorityu list of project on the fsf site for eyars | Oct 28 13:52 |

| techrights-sec[2] | They've already given every appearance of coasting for a while now. | Oct 28 14:25 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | make you allies | Oct 28 14:31 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | and how a few people online said fsf had gone "negative" | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | since then there has been too soft an attitude | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | also dbd (formerly by jgay) is mute | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not sure what to say except, | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | do something | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not moving anywhere makes one stagnant | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they do need to piss off some people | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think it was a mattl idea (rms foe) to send hdd to microsoft | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to ask for windows code | Oct 28 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it was a dumb stunt imho | Oct 28 14:31 |
