[09:22] schestowitz-TR this is show biz now? [09:23] Techrights-sec it's so sad to see what he has sunk to; he had many years of good articles [09:23] Techrights-sec before M$ broke him and makes him eat shit and smile every week [09:23] Techrights-sec checking [09:23] Techrights-sec yes wwe on stage [09:23] Techrights-sec which link specifically? [09:23] Techrights-sec it's bizarre that he was not led off stage in handcuffs [09:23] Techrights-sec ^smiff not rock [09:24] schestowitz-TR standards have been lowered [09:24] schestowitz-TR now oscars became jerry springer show [09:24] schestowitz-TR next: white house [09:24] schestowitz-TR it got close to that with the microphone 4 years ago (acosta) [09:24] Techrights-sec the live audience reaction is a symptom of how sick society has become [09:24] Techrights-sec reminds me of the car scene in "Idiocracy" [09:25] schestowitz-TR *fart fart fart fart* [09:30] Techrights-sec cheetonazi is soliciting more foreign interference again, highly illegal given [09:30] Techrights-sec his past and current positionl, teachnically treasonous; but then neither [09:30] Techrights-sec sedition nor treason have been prosecuted during the last 15 years [09:30] Techrights-sec despite occurences [09:30] Techrights-sec faux news, newsmax, and other are part of that [09:30] schestowitz-TR i am not the most polite person ever [09:30] schestowitz-TR but nevertheless I see liars all around [09:30] schestowitz-TR I'd rather be a little rude/abrasive but honest [09:31] schestowitz-TR or accepting comedy/sarcasm/chalelnging expression of opinion [09:31] schestowitz-TR than the opposite [09:31] schestowitz-TR I think north europe is still OK in this regard [09:31] schestowitz-TR torvalds can no longer tell jokes [09:31] schestowitz-TR but then again he was naturalised usian [09:33] Techrights-sec not really any more, not for a decade or so :/ [09:33] Techrights-sec linus was for a while the most powerful man on the planet and others figure that [09:33] Techrights-sec out and decided to saw him off a bit; thus the false medical treatment and other [09:33] Techrights-sec punishments while he remains functionally removed from his own project and prelaced with microsofters [09:33] Techrights-sec with WWIII continuing as it has, M$ and its products need to be removed [09:33] Techrights-sec and that means removal of staff because M$ is a staffing problem; microsofters [09:33] Techrights-sec cannot be retooled to learn IT. They don't have the logical thought process [09:33] Techrights-sec and have already shown themselves to be severely untrustworthy and recivivistic [09:34] schestowitz-TR at best they would install "wsl" from "the shop" [09:34] schestowitz-TR the "store", sorry... [09:34] schestowitz-TR the nadella candy store [09:34] schestowitz-TR with "rich people"... [09:34] schestowitz-TR and withy bribes [09:36] Techrights-sec M$ would have dried up and blown away many times over these last 30 years without so many bailouts and overt/covert pentagon sup [09:36] Techrights-sec port [09:36] Techrights-sec Everywhere it can be found, it represents a backdoor for CIA^WFSB etc. [09:38] schestowitz-TR but the cynic in me would say [09:38] schestowitz-TR you know how the world works [09:38] schestowitz-TR what wins over isn\t what's functional and just [09:38] schestowitz-TR quite often the exact opposite [09:38] schestowitz-TR case of poing [09:38] schestowitz-TR the money (product) is in lying [09:38] schestowitz-TR saying things as they are is not a product [09:38] schestowitz-TR "reputation laundering" [09:38] schestowitz-TR "brand management" etc etc [09:43] Techrights-sec yep [09:45] schestowitz-TR it might snow today and temps around zero, we'll see how I can cope in this office with heating turned off (last we turned it on was 2019 I think, as guests were sleeping over) [09:57] Techrights-sec as long as it does not cause condensation, it is no problm, just add more clothes [09:58] schestowitz-TR i quite enjoyed, in the guilty sort of way, seeing what hedges wrote about [09:58] schestowitz-TR outsourcing is always just a ticking time bomb [09:58] schestowitz-TR he also wrote a lot for truthdig [09:58] schestowitz-TR that never came back [09:58] schestowitz-TR it collapsed due to disagreement between scheer and that lady whose [09:58] schestowitz-TR name I cannot recall [09:58] schestowitz-TR hedges should write only in his own site [09:58] schestowitz-TR this is the only way to assure preservation ● Mar 30 [10:00] schestowitz-TR ack [10:00] schestowitz-TR monkey dance? [10:00] schestowitz-TR ack [10:00] Techrights-sec ack [10:00] Techrights-sec monkey dance? [10:00] schestowitz-TR monkey dance? [10:02] schestowitz-TR even if the videos are do are the suckiest shit in terms of quality and ui [10:02] schestowitz-TR and "discoverability" (until gulagtube shuts down or shuts you down), [10:02] schestowitz-TR and even if it can be expensive with operational overheads [10:02] schestowitz-TR we still have videos in the site, in trhe same address they were in [10:02] schestowitz-TR back in 2006 [10:02] schestowitz-TR but those videos that we did not host loccally, instead pointing [10:03] schestowitz-TR to Google Video (shut down well over a decade ago) are gone for good [10:03] schestowitz-TR like ballmer and hovsepian [10:03] schestowitz-TR they have historic value [10:03] schestowitz-TR the historic value is also a cautionary tale [10:03] schestowitz-TR e.g. for paul cromier [10:03] schestowitz-TR re monkey dance, it's too viral to go away for good [10:03] schestowitz-TR however, elop is another matter, with revisionism [10:03] schestowitz-TR when someone chose TWITTER for Ballmer though rub [10:03] schestowitz-TR I got the video downloaded using some online tool [10:03] schestowitz-TR then re-uploaded it [10:03] schestowitz-TR those are likely to vanish [10:05] Techrights-sec https://youtu.be/dbCmnRztK1Y [10:05] Techrights-sec Elop's owners hired some shills to write a book that, at best, bent the truth [10:05] Techrights-sec severely and omitted a *hell of a lot* of important, relevant facts in order [10:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@Invidious: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=dbCmnRztK1Y [10:05] Techrights-sec to decree that he was "only" a bad CEO. The thing they wish to cover up was [10:05] Techrights-sec that the board was involved and signed a contract giving him 18 millino EUR if [10:05] Techrights-sec he sold out to M$ specifically. So he actively and consciously tanked the [10:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell--> yewtu.be | Monkey dance (Steve Ballmer making an ass out of himself) - Invidious [10:05] Techrights-sec company and its falship product line and sold off the headquarters in order [10:05] Techrights-sec to bring the value way down for M$ [10:05] Techrights-sec Yes, the patents were icing on the cake from M$ perspective [10:05] Techrights-sec The gift that keeps on giving. [10:07] schestowitz-TR elop lowered the sale value [10:07] schestowitz-TR and then parcelled off the patents to trolls [10:07] schestowitz-TR which still attack android and apple's hype'phone' [10:07] schestowitz-TR but jim zemlin said already around 2009 we should "respect Microsoft" [10:07] schestowitz-TR even some microsoft directors do not respect this "puppy" [10:07] schestowitz-TR stop kicking! You puppy kicker! [10:07] schestowitz-TR this ties back to the point I made earlier about liars [10:07] schestowitz-TR liars goo up [10:07] schestowitz-TR hedges and his guests? RUSHAN SPIES!! [10:07] schestowitz-TR Off wifffff their heads [10:08] Techrights-sec ack [10:08] schestowitz-TR remember where zemlin came from [10:08] schestowitz-TR not a scientist [10:08] schestowitz-TR not a coder [10:08] schestowitz-TR a cheap marketing 'suit [10:08] schestowitz-TR hardly even a suit [10:08] schestowitz-TR not high level, either [10:08] schestowitz-TR but a good liar [10:08] schestowitz-TR they need those [10:08] schestowitz-TR "open source loves Microsoft" [10:08] schestowitz-TR months later github purchase green-lit [10:20] Techrights-sec anti-trust should have kicked in the but the agencies have been more or less [10:20] Techrights-sec defunded and, furthermore, rendered toothless ● Mar 30 [11:20] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@k5ghkuun6w7re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Mar 30 [13:04] schestowitz-TR EFF increasingly a loss cause. Also a Microsoft booster. [13:04] Techrights-sec The EFF makes really questionable choices since Barlow's death. [13:54] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Mar 30 [14:02] schestowitz-TR the use of buzzwords like IoT also leaves much to be desired [14:02] schestowitz-TR and leaves one wondering if the EFF is trult run by people [14:02] schestowitz-TR who understand the underlying issue and what is ultimately at staker [14:02] schestowitz-TR I will refrain from even poking "diversity" aspects of all this [14:02] schestowitz-TR window has two elements to that [14:02] schestowitz-TR and was part opf the end of mozilla [14:02] schestowitz-TR using mozilla as an outpost from which to praise windows [14:02] schestowitz-TR 'security' ● Mar 30 [16:24] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [16:45] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
