I'm not sure how [13:14] Techrights-sec many blog feeds I have but it is quite a lot, then there are more regular [13:14] Techrights-sec news sources via RSS as well. I'll check those tomorrow or the day after. [13:14] Techrights-sec It takes a few days for worthwile links to build up there and I just checked [13:14] Techrights-sec thoroughly the other day. [13:14] schestowitz-TR I have tricks for reading rss feeds since ages ago [13:14] schestowitz-TR you let them build up, then cluster baased on site, date, or key filter [13:14] schestowitz-TR makes them easier to group and digest [13:14] Techrights-sec Yes similar to my method. [13:31] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [13:36] Techrights-sec the general ones are bit harder and though many of the blogs follow theme [13:36] Techrights-sec or reasonably narrow interests, they still take a lot of time to cull [13:36] Techrights-sec If I could master the GUI component of Python, I could probably write [13:36] Techrights-sec a reasonabel RSS/Atom feed reader by now. [13:36] schestowitz-TR in the cli some heuristics would be easy [13:36] schestowitz-TR not sure about the gui stuff [13:37] Techrights-sec not sure, sometimes the most interesting material is lacking in the expected [13:37] Techrights-sec terms, phrases, and keywords. [13:42] schestowitz-TR draft [13:42] schestowitz-TR having a go at the "FOK YUS" (focus) president [13:42] schestowitz-TR you need to click on the link that says "context" [13:43] Techrights-sec ack [13:43] Techrights-sec not sure the car crash material is relevant unless a direct tie to showing [13:43] Techrights-sec how diplomatic immunity was abused or how alcohol was involved [13:43] Techrights-sec the text needs to stand on its own and the link be supplemental. [13:43] Techrights-sec Remember that some of the best audience is via Gemini [13:44] schestowitz-TR what the meme says is not really a joke [13:44] schestowitz-TR it is factual [13:44] Techrights-sec yes, that can be emphasized then, because too often the "memes" are jokes and [13:44] Techrights-sec not serious [13:48] schestowitz-TR right, amending.. [13:48] schestowitz-TR (btw, it's common knowledge in EPO... the story about the son) [13:48] schestowitz-TR from what I am hearing, campinos is already done for the count because he's not supported by EPO "users" [13:48] schestowitz-TR (never mind 'his' staff) [13:48] schestowitz-TR we need to drain this whole "swamp" [13:48] schestowitz-TR but it'll take huge effort and coordination [13:48] schestowitz-TR then, upc too would go away faster [13:48] schestowitz-TR (along with swpats hey hi 4ir bs) [13:51] schestowitz-TR question: can we do some so-called 'data science' around death asnd dreath of the news [13:51] schestowitz-TR like, based on "Links" or some archives on your PC?
