| schestowitz-TR | just some patent chatter and the lies told in Musk Social | Apr 29 00:43 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Apr 29 00:43 |
| Techrights-sec | patents not even software patents have held back a lot of fields, | Apr 29 00:45 |
| Techrights-sec | so while for diplomatic reasons one has to let non-sw patents slide for now, | Apr 29 00:45 |
| Techrights-sec | they do appear to also be causing great harm; however, perhaps most | Apr 29 00:45 |
| Techrights-sec | people will figure that out once the final nails are in the coffin for | Apr 29 00:45 |
| Techrights-sec | sw patents | Apr 29 00:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the problem is more urgent in some areas than in others because of "benefit"/harm rratio/proportion | Apr 29 00:47 |

| schestowitz | <p>SELinux is one of many layers of security that helps protect your Linux servers (and desktops) from the lions, and tigers, and bears — oh, my! SELinux policies specify which programs, sockets, and files are allowed to interact with each other.

| Techrights-sec | in regards to pension, who knows. Schneier is probably better off and | Apr 29 07:37 |

| Techrights-sec | It is not out of the question for them to have pulled sumething similar to | Apr 29 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | what they did to Durusau, whatever that was. He suddently turned dazed and | Apr 29 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | stayed that way pitifully bleating M$ talking points. If he ever recovered, | Apr 29 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | I have not heard, yet. | Apr 29 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | That change happened immediately after he travelled to meet some microsofters | Apr 29 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | in or near Redmond | Apr 29 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | they had a lot to gain financially from it | Apr 29 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and we know they do bribe a LOT | Apr 29 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | there very existence depended on it; not just bribe. He looked too traumatized | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | for a bribe. Maybe Schneier was bought maybe not, but either way he started | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | softpedalling M$ problems and turning a blind eye to security since then. | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Spaf also more or less went quiet and soft pedals M$; | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Knuth has earned his retirement many times over and is not so much online | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | As a result of not being online he can get surrounded and mislead by microsofters | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | That might be one explanation for him going soft on M$ in the last 10 eyars | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | People also tend to project on MM$, doing wishful or 'magical' thinking that | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | M$ can't be as bad as it is. Many regular people, when presented with M$ | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | crimes past and present, deny them saying that "it would not be allowed" and | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | it is hard to get through to them that they are being presented with | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | court-documented facts and not hypotheticals of future action. | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Average people can't even imaging the scope and depth of the villany involved. | Apr 29 07:49 |
| Techrights-sec | Others, get overloaded and helped by desperation for money soften to M$ | Apr 29 07:49 |

| Techrights-sec | It's a rare example of them 1) being proactiv, 2) taking the right stance, | Apr 29 07:54 |
| Techrights-sec | 3) reaching out in the EU | Apr 29 07:54 |
| Techrights-sec | So it's a positive effort on their part to a very bad situation in the EU | Apr 29 07:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | When I think of EFF I think off Ba[n]ker, though it's actually Cindy Cohn | Apr 29 07:57 |

| Techrights-sec | Interesting. Netflix is nothing without the custom FreeBSD kernel modifications | Apr 29 08:38 |
| Techrights-sec | and they can't go long without maintenance ... | Apr 29 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have this "theory" (I use this word to get attention) | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | about how 50-90% of companies are 'bullshit' | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the government wants to hide it | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | the nation overseeing and taxing (however little) these companies | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the strains are passed to the general citizen (poor), making up for relative | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | economic scales by quantity | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | so joe and jill won't be able to buy pizza anymore | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's OK | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can live in butter and slided bread | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and take fewer showers | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | no gov. help with gas bills | Apr 29 08:42 |

| schestowitz-TR | basic needs | Apr 29 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then the gov. will need to throw actual corporations over the fence | Apr 29 08:42 |

| schestowitz-TR | participate in "the market" | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | "fair share", UBI... fewer days | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | the automation and so-called 'industrial revolution' (fourth SPAMNIL revolution) | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | mean we do not need to have everyone working 8-6 every day (I count communte as well, set aside time to | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | run errands, maintenance of home, car etc.) | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but capitalists entities don't view it that way | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse yet, they need more consumers (births) | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the very least as debt collaterals | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the end I'm all in favour of everyone working | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not as much as some do | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | my brother recently told me he was working dawn till night | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | some people take pride in it and think this is normal | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not even his own business, he's seduced by the salary | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | i read today hardware shortages will last at least 2 yerars in the US | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | (people in china now live inside the office, in some companies, like in the sweatshops with bunk beds) | Apr 29 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the goal ought to be (I think), "stgay as far away as possible from 'the system'... it's killing people" | Apr 29 08:48 |
| Techrights-sec | I think it was Finland which did the UBI test; it had very positive results | Apr 29 08:48 |
| Techrights-sec | but was called short because of that | Apr 29 08:48 |
| Techrights-sec | 30 hours per week at a livable wage ought to do it, but that would come | Apr 29 08:48 |

| schestowitz-TR | let me check which countries tested ubi | Apr 29 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | wikipedia speaks of Kela | Apr 29 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | mentioned also a city in south korea | Apr 29 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | parts of canada | Apr 29 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | iran india spain israel | Apr 29 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | mentions switzeerland as referendum only | Apr 29 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | rejected with 77% majority | Apr 29 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | poll says in eu 64% would support such a proposal | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | Like most studies which show positive results when political interests wanted | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | the opposite it the studies were cancelled early or buried in spin | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | and misdirection | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | the main obstacle to UBI appears that it would allow people to have free time | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | to educate themselves and, worse, then participate in society | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | referendums are subject to manipulation in many ways and not relevant ot the | Apr 29 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | actual success or failure of UBI | Apr 29 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | referenda are based on perception, not an actual excperiment with empirical evidence in this case | Apr 29 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the population can be riled up, saying that the "Muslims" in Zurich area would use that to have | Apr 29 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | 10 kids or something | Apr 29 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is always some straw man that can be used | Apr 29 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | yes and perceptions are easily manipulated through mass media and very easily | Apr 29 08:55 |
| Techrights-sec | through social control media | Apr 29 08:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | One method I personally find out ('cheat' sheet) or found out is, | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | lower expenses | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | push them down to the floor, to the basics | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | then find a way to make up the deficit | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | for 2 people at about 400 a head it's not too hard | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | leah rowe discovered the same | Apr 29 08:59 |

| schestowitz-TR | ryan is still wasting a ton of money "fixing" the "new" car | Apr 29 08:59 |

| schestowitz-TR | bring it up to date | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | you should watch the video of Gardiner about the massive house he bought | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | much work to be done, but he makes it sound lie he got it for free or | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | something, it was just "abandoned" | Apr 29 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | he barely produced videos this month, maybe a morale issue, with the april | Apr 29 08:59 |

| Techrights-sec | yeah. what's that kind of distraction? It's kind of like a pre-emptive | Apr 29 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | strawman argument, it's used enough in politics these days that it probably | Apr 29 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | has a specific name | Apr 29 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | to be fair, many gulagtubers are burned out | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | those who joined in the past 10 years and beneefited from Gulag partner programs | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | flown in, given cash, studios etc. | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag cut that off | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | like it did the in-campus chefs like 15 years ago | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and now they see new videos receiving barely even half the views they used to get | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and feel guilty | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | "did I offend someone?" | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Am I boring?" | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | Some are trying to cash in on their way down | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the laptop advertorials | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | which got "linux experiment" (in shilling) banned | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have no real contingency | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | odysee maybe gives them 1-5% the views they had | Apr 29 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no income | Apr 29 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | I guess in that regard it is what would be referred to as "self-limiting" :/ | Apr 29 09:05 |

| schestowitz-TR | [oh, wait] | Apr 29 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Like the small business that presents a press release about partnering with Microsoft | Apr 29 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | More like partnering TO Microsoft | Apr 29 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | to be used up and thrown away | Apr 29 09:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | they still lost money and sold to another charlatan of "crypto" (like Jack) | Apr 29 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | another example of founder riding back in was yang with yahoo! | Apr 29 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he could not save his 'baby', Microsoft has made the company vanish in all forms | Apr 29 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | except on paper | Apr 29 09:09 |
| Techrights-sec | Canonical is a sad story now, they had a second chance, an ability to recover | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | from the mono herd in MOTU, but they blew it and added to the harm by | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | hiring actual microsofters into executive positions; thereafter it was only | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | ever dead on its feet and now MS is planning to exit via IPO | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | specualators might keep it alive for a while after that and then it might | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | get sold again but it's game over for Ubuntu / Canonical now. Linux | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Mint will have to play forward with the Debian (or Devuan) Edition from then | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | on | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | that was a goal of Icahn, along with eliminating t FreeBSD house. Hmm. | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Perhaps that is a factor in the demise of Netflix, M$ has many inside the | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | company since the beginning and their love of M$ ideology has proably | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | gained the uppoer hand over their love of money. | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Si tgey kill the goose which lays the golden eggs and fire the BSD people | Apr 29 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | or dtive them out | Apr 29 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | Netflix CEO is from Microsoft IIRC | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe they changed CEO | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've not paid attention | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I told this to RMS and he did not mind | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was more focus on their DRM agenda being evil | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | to clarify, the person who left was a hiogh-profile LINUX dev | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | not freebsd | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saw it in Planet (Linux) Kernel | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I simply could not believe and was mildly horrified TBH that someone with such a salary level | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | was made to work in a shared office, little cubicle with one laptop, one screen and s little whiteboard | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe 10 squared feet | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | to work on kernel staff | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I reckon they found they can get more prooductivity out of people | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | who are unhappy in a cage | Apr 29 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you "pamper" them too much, "productivity" can decrease | Apr 29 09:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | counter-intuitive, I know... | Apr 29 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | A reason for their evil DRM agenda was the M$ presence at the top. | Apr 29 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | Same for their initial move to FreeBSD - they needed something that worked | Apr 29 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | but could not palate Linux for the kernel; | Apr 29 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | Ah my mistake. | Apr 29 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | What were they paying him? 15k per year? | Apr 29 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 29 09:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | who knows... maybe per month. | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | For kernel devs of a high profile you need to shell out a lot | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the disparity is astounding | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I mean, that desk and equipment they provide him with is like less than one week of his salary | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | to me, personally, it makes no sense at all | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could find the blog post | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it generally reaffirms my thoughts | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | Linus has a nice office, but it's usually disorganised from what I saw | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I reckon he stopped using the treadmill (probably suggested by GP or the wife) | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | judging by the looks of his legs | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't think he has a condition (not Putin either, probably some wartime propaganda) | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | in old photos of him in bathing suit you can see he had a belly and proportional leg side | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | for a person at 52 he does not look healthy to me | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I'd be "concern-trolling" if I went along those lines any further | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | Linus comms, as shared her yesterday (3 links while afak), show he's not in control | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | he's just some 'suit in a robe' | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | and his presence has been relegated for late sunday rc/final announcements | Apr 29 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | he's not 'permitted' to do media interviews | Apr 29 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and in events he's managed by a PR clown, Dreck Hondahl | Apr 29 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | who is now crossing over to crank ville | Apr 29 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | from SUSE to Intel (crime) to VMware (GPL violation) to cargo cult... | Apr 29 09:21 |
| Techrights-sec | he's basically a mascot nowadays; I fully expect they will dismiss him | Apr 29 09:21 |
| Techrights-sec | after a few more years of increasing marginalization | Apr 29 09:21 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 29 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | here is the thing | Apr 29 09:26 |
| *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Apr 29 09:26 | |

| *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Apr 29 09:26 | |
| schestowitz-TR | if Torvalds was sacked in 2005, it would be a MASSIVE uproad | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | *uproar | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | no social control media | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | but Torvalds is barely noticed anymore | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | he became a respected historical figure with two projects under his name | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | RMS has even more than two, but it's not an enumeration problem, the impact | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | varies | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | GNU included emacs and FSF includes GNU | Apr 29 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | Linux uses Git et. | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they won't sack Torvalds | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | he might end up like Guido de Icaza or Miguel de Icaza | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | retiring, getting away from the limelight, while occassionally helping | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Big Tech" for "appreciating" (and paying) for the "crown jewels" | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | the movement is being defanged with moral support for it waning as a result | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | Lunduke is insinuing Linux is "Amazon, FB, Microsoft" | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | thi is false | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | Even LF, not Linux, is a lot of things | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | those three companies are not the sole holders | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | but being Microsoft Lunduke maybe he has veiled goals there | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, re OSI, he left out what Microsoft did to it | Apr 29 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | he used the term "Big Tech" | Apr 29 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Guido met a sad end | Apr 29 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec | Vint Cerf ended up in a rather simlar end | Apr 29 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | tim b-l ended up shilling JS as a 'fix', in Microsoft shithub (NSA, Microsoft criminals, must create | Apr 29 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | shacropper ID in proprietary jail) | Apr 29 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | Cerf will die soon, he's just helping Gulag cement the closing of the Internet, not just the Web | Apr 29 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | they must make him feel very special, their bearded mascot | Apr 29 09:29 |

| Techrights-sec | Yep | Apr 29 09:29 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Apr 29 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | Cerf had COVID-19 some months ago | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | he survived, but that leave damage usually | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if you don't die within 28 days you don't get counted | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still watch the covid numbers here (still not good) | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | we're running today outdoors (soon) | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I lacked tiem to write about covid yetserdat | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had to defend myself a lot in irc | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | irc is very busy today as well | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | thankfully, unless I RE-remind myself, I already forgot the "missing" video | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and don't feel annoyed by that | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also caught up with rss feeds before bedtime | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | without having to fully chase patent news, and with the sites being well-bahaved (still need OS upgrade/change), | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have a one-day buffer for catchup on Sundays | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I need to make more local backups of things | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will test the backup script changes tonight at 18:30 | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | then post part 7, make a video | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | the microsoft attacks on Linux "slowed" a bit yesterday afternoon | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was about to say this here last night | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | but thought it would be safe to wait 24 hours in case there's a "part 2" | Apr 29 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | after Schneier hails Microsoft as dsaviour of Ukraine | Apr 29 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | it apparrently damages mental capabilities, like what might have happened with | Apr 29 09:35 |
| Techrights-sec | Lunduke | Apr 29 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | going on anecdotes, not media reports or studies, I do hear and read about | Apr 29 09:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | not remembering names, cannot focus on PC (I gave an example of a Debian Dev | Apr 29 09:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | Those aren't related to internal organs other than brain | Apr 29 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the brain is something that is hard to repair | Apr 29 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are many remedies for internal organs semi-functioning or even ceasing to function | Apr 29 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | like dialisys (I think I got the i and y swapped around) | Apr 29 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | but when the brain goes, that's it | Apr 29 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | you won't even noticed it | Apr 29 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like telling a demented person s/he demented | Apr 29 09:39 |

| schestowitz-TR | maybe 500 cases a day in the UK | Apr 29 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they started opening pubs, football, mask policies loosened | Apr 29 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | 50,000 cases a day, loockdowns again | Apr 29 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | now the gov. spins that as pandemic of the weak | Apr 29 09:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | last week they threw a double mattrass (maybe julie's) at the back yard | Apr 29 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe it'a waste of space and two men won't share a bed | Apr 29 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe there's also unused space in summer, outside, can squeeze 3-4 bed there too :-) | Apr 29 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is not about religion, race, or gender | Apr 29 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's about 8+ human beings, occupants, being loud at 1am and over-congesting a place, which | Apr 29 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | begets more noise (a couple cannot talk that much) | Apr 29 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | today there is a trolley from a supermarket at the front garden | Apr 29 14:30 |

| schestowitz-TR | if the owner is unaware of how many live there, it's possible changes will come soon | Apr 29 14:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | Based on the listing online, which I checked like 50 times in one year, it was never sold | Apr 29 14:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just rented away to buy time | Apr 29 14:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | meanwhile the living room looks like a couple of improvised bedrooms from the outside | Apr 29 14:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this cheapens nearby homes, too | Apr 29 14:40 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, unfortunately the councils tend to see that reduction as one of the few | Apr 29 14:44 |

| schestowitz-TR | just spoke to the wife about it, will check online again... | Apr 29 14:44 |

| schestowitz-TR | it would not shock me if there's full awareness and intent | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the main question is, given the number, is there really | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | one owner, who is not living there | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | if so, there's a chance of change in the future | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | whether for the better, I don't know | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | tey did nothing bad, except speaking (not shouting) at unsocial times | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and leaving a bit of a mess outside, sometimes... | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are the adjecent block, not the one one level down, | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it might become more of an issue in the future | Apr 29 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 29 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | there are probably zoning violations as well as, if one checks indoors, many | Apr 29 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | health and safety violations to be found | Apr 29 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | The sheer number pronably exceeds what is allowed. | Apr 29 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I became aware oif this problem a very long time ago | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | more mattresses than rooms, inc. kitchen and all | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the issue stems from the economic situation that led me down this rabbi hole | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | as people escape war and starvation | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | having a mattress is a good place is better than a home somewhere else | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | so putin and donald biden cause much agony, which impacts everybody | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | even those who are far from famine and do not particpate in wars | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | this will worsen | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I spoke about it with a friend over a decade ago | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe around the time of the financial crisis | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | which later contributes to arab spring amid rise of discontent | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | now, with covid (and oil, food etc.) there's another wave of suffering | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | this isn't about identity but the sheer number of people in one place | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | we are only a wall apart and a fence apart, same level unlike the other wall | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | so when you rightly point out overpopulation as an issue there's much | Apr 29 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | at stake even if it's not directly visible | Apr 29 14:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | covering things like android | Apr 29 15:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't think that site ever got anywhere | Apr 29 15:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | meanwhile softpedia was rotting away | Apr 29 15:58 |
| Techrights-sec | softpedia never t really had any original content that I know of, or maybe | Apr 29 16:00 |
| Techrights-sec | I justremember incorrectly | Apr 29 16:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | softpedia made copies of a lot of sofwtare froim freshmear and sourceforce | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | including some of mine | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | with marius I spoke about how my software there suddenly vanished | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they started removing "less often accessed" pages | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | to cut down | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they built the romanian empire by making a catalogue (hence "pedia") of other people's binaries | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | not code | Apr 29 16:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they were ranked very well at one point | Apr 29 16:01 |

| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on rianne's cycle through the news (she netted just 3 items since midnight), it's another bloody slow | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | day for "Linux" | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will do the belarus thing for now | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | howtos are only OK in bulk as the chance of someone using system x and wanting to install y is rather low | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if I can group them, then it's OK | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for mgames | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | games are mostly "stream" (DRM) and WINE (WIndows blogs) | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | *steam | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | so don't consider me too excited | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm no gardiner on the payroll | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | *blobs | Apr 29 16:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | DRM, blobs, "entertainment" | Apr 29 16:06 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, RSS has some stuff but not a lot | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | DRM is a large problem already | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | TBL is to blame mostly but not entirely however blaming at this point does not | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | solve any problem for now | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | The reason games and videos are targeted now are the same reasons the videoa | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | and audio were targeted 20 years ago, they are not taken seriously and are | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | considered frivilous and thus the estrictions are also accepted by the public | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | as being unthreatening. If M$ DRMed the productivity file formats right away | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | there would be rebellion, even against M$, so they have to use games and | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | videos to lock DRM into place first before then making optional for productivity | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | software and then mandatory. Probably in vista12 or 14 | Apr 29 16:09 |
| Techrights-sec | if Vista survives that much longer | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | tbh (thinking laterally here) | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe I should rethink how I do lInux links | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | just as I reconsidered the way I digest and post patents | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and how I relate to social control media | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of the Linux stuff is boring shit | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | like all the Red Hat/ICBM "news"... purely corporate junk, this isn's Fedora Core days | Apr 29 16:10 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Apr 29 16:10 |
| Techrights-sec | Fedora community is gone afaik just some fascade backed up by IBM staff | Apr 29 16:10 |
| Techrights-sec | Canonical is going away in 2023, give or take a year | Apr 29 16:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | canonical tried to regain community a few times | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | they reformed a Council like 2 years ago | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but nothing came out of it | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | they looked to appease some bloggers who had moaned about how alienatedd they felt | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | so Canonical whipped up some press releases with proclamation | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, ubuntu is losing share in desktop | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | Canonical does not know how to stop the bleeding | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | their blog focuses on devices and servers | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | they want some big name clients | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have a few | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | should we consider using the daily links software for more "Linux" feeds? | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | certain ones are very predictable and mechanical | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the howto sites | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | bear in mind even formerly "OK" so-called 'news' sites became a word salad | Apr 29 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the writers aren't qualified, except in salad making | Apr 29 16:14 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 29 16:16 |
| Techrights-sec | depends on the feeds though | Apr 29 16:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I suppose criteria are: can retrieve <title> | Apr 29 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | RSS summary is decent | Apr 29 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | even without any summary it might be OK | Apr 29 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. for howtos | Apr 29 16:18 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that is one prerequisite, another is that the articles are steuctured | Apr 29 16:18 |
| Techrights-sec | consistently so that the useful parts are usually in the same place each | Apr 29 16:18 |
| Techrights-sec | time. Summary or 1st 2 paragraphs or 1st paragraph or last paragrap, | Apr 29 16:18 |
| Techrights-sec | that doesn't matter as long as it is the same each time | Apr 29 16:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, I will check and make a list | Apr 29 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | should I specify which parts are consistently useful? | Apr 29 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | this way we can scan more feeds or produce more articles | Apr 29 16:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I got the latest camelCase from git today | Apr 29 16:20 |
| Techrights-sec | the feed URLs would be all that are needed, though if there are some | Apr 29 16:21 |
| Techrights-sec | strings which should trigger exclusion (sponsored articles etc) then those | Apr 29 16:21 |
| Techrights-sec | would be good to know up front too | Apr 29 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | I recently disabled the ones that do seo webspam | Apr 29 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can harm our site anywhere, no matter what we link to in such domains | Apr 29 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, I check them all manually before using post.ff.sh to catalogue them in the right place | Apr 29 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and sometimes I remove irrelevant paragraphs or items | Apr 29 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am going to make a list now while cleaning the feeds | Apr 29 16:23 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 29 16:23 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 29 16:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | sorting the wheat from the chaff will only get HARDER, not simpler, as time goes by in the WWW | Apr 29 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need to cast the net wider on the Net | Apr 29 16:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, lxer is like 20 times less in magnitude compared to 15 years ago | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | slashdhot is maybe the same | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | they rapidly lose visitors | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | a | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | alexa as in alexa rankins shutd down for good in 2 days | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | netcraft is nnoot accurate | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | few people use their malware | Apr 29 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | "plugins" | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | one of the problems is that some of the automated feeds are quite good | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | but I don't usually have time to check them so they pass unnoticed for my | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | part | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | yes most sites are like that if they are even around | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | still | Apr 29 16:27 |
| Techrights-sec | slashdot was killed off through repeated sales to increasingly disconnected and | Apr 29 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | hostile companies then reddit lied about aaron swartz during an interval of | Apr 29 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | elevated dissatisfaction with slashdot and most left (stupidly) for reddit | Apr 29 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | being conde nast it has marketing money unlike slashdot which had grown | Apr 29 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | organically | Apr 29 16:28 |
| Techrights-sec | netcraft has not been accurate for a long time | Apr 29 16:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it never was, but in the "toolbar" era of Web browser some technical people like me had it installed | Apr 29 16:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know who STILL reports to the company | Apr 29 16:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was always spyware of sorts | Apr 29 16:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | justified as "security" | Apr 29 16:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2025: daddy, what's alexa ranking? | Apr 29 16:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | daddy: non, no, alexas isn't doing credit ratings, alexa used to measure traffic before the Musk | Apr 29 16:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | without lots of hair plugs bought the original company just to shut it down | Apr 29 16:39 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 29 16:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wonder if I should include plan ets too, like debian and fedora that I added already | Apr 29 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | the first para is usually OK | Apr 29 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | if not, I can void it and just use title, or manually access the page for better outline | Apr 29 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | so no debian uncoensored either | Apr 29 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will remove from the list | Apr 29 16:41 |
| Techrights-sec | no planets have a poor signal to noise ratio and even when they do have ites | Apr 29 16:42 |
| Techrights-sec | ^items | Apr 29 16:42 |
| Techrights-sec | they are curated heavily and a subset selected to promote a given agenda | Apr 29 16:42 |
| Techrights-sec | the closer we can harvest to the original source the better | Apr 29 16:42 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe some of the sites it promotes would be of use to add individually though | Apr 29 16:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the older days planets would have a long list of all the original sites or rss feeds in the sidebar | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | some still do this | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it's their "secret sauce" | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like telling you how to recreate or bypass them | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a chef at a restaurant offering you the book of all the recipes | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the secret sauce changes | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | if one blogger turns "sour" | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "toxic" | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they only like "sweet" arse-sucking bloggwers | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the controller of the planet, e./g. mozilla | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | no dissent tolerated | Apr 29 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | not after the first time anyway | Apr 29 16:44 |

| schestowitz-TR | I've just got parts 8-11 of the series ready, want a copy in /tmp? | Apr 29 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | regarding gulag voice, our very stupid company - WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH STAFF - | Apr 29 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | wants to move everything from Asterisk hosting (Gradwell) to Gulag, which even | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | for purely pragmatic reasons is a mistake (it barely works; waste of time and stress) | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne said, "let's leave the company' | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I say, "wait, we can oppose the move and also we can keep milking them" (the job | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | is easy) | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | the troubling thing is, key decisions are made that are both wrong and | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | involve no real cinsultation with the staff | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | as pointed out at the start, iirc I was told something denying my hypothesis | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | about the long-erm plan being gulag migratiopn | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | being left out of the process is one thing | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | being lied to is a lot worse | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | we not only lied about this move internally | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | we also lie externally to clients | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | as the boss did an hour ago, making fake excuses | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | they say, if someone you work with lies to others | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | that someone might lie to you too (like the person being rude to the waiter not being a nice person) | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will go discuss this with rianne now | Apr 29 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will then work on USPTO tip-off and EPO series | Apr 29 20:50 |
