| matteobin | I'm writing a review on an Amiga game and I'm looking for some tech info. | Sep 30 09:12 |
| Techrights-sec | Note that cryptocurrency news mostly goes under the 'energy' heading :/ | Sep 30 09:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | 5 or 10 years ago the hype had not yet died down | Sep 30 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I think the energy consumption grew almost quarradically | Sep 30 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the point where the cost of power just isn't worth the mining | Sep 30 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | *quadratically | Sep 30 09:26 |
| Techrights-sec | It was a waste of electricity from day 1 | Sep 30 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | In that way, and some others, it is more like a ponzi scheme than anything | Sep 30 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | else. The transaction costs are already prohibitive so it is not viable | Sep 30 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | even for large purchases, only large speculation. That speculation has to | Sep 30 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | collapse eventually as even that too becomes unviable. So what is happening | Sep 30 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | now is that bitcoin in particular is nearing its end game and no one | Sep 30 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec | who bought in with real money wants to be the one left holding the bag | Sep 30 09:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | $50 | Sep 30 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | to $2 in weeks or months | Sep 30 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec | IPO == pump and dump, for the most part | Sep 30 09:29 |
| Techrights-sec | It's when the investors and often the founders bail and give up on a "company" | Sep 30 09:29 |
| Techrights-sec | when it becomes apparent that they are heading down a dead end. | Sep 30 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of people who i know invested their money in the market or "ionvestment" (speculation) end up losing it ina way that reminds me of casinos | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | they first give you a waste of gains and wins | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then, once in a decade or so | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | the BIG RAKE comes in, taking in everything | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | so all those gains too get wiped out (And then some more) | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | who is safe? | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | insider traders and people like billg with bank accounts in bermuda, cayman, etc. | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are insiders and outsiders to this system | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | insiders when it comes to toip-off | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | outsiders when it comes to the consequences | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a rigged gmae | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | many fall for it | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | many in my family too | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | who "invest" their savings | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | first bragging | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | then comes the collapse | Sep 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | then silence... they don't wish to be seen (like my friend this past year) | Sep 30 09:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | you cannot un-wrtite it | Sep 30 09:37 |
| mjg59_ | Not disagreeing, but your discription is still inaccurate | Sep 30 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | you were, by your own admission, an adult transphobe | Sep 30 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | you cannot take it back | Sep 30 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I will keep reminding people | Sep 30 09:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | you went to oxbridge, but you are not too bright. you keep making self-incriminating statements, very tactless | Sep 30 09:51 |
| mjg59_ | I said stuff in the past that I regret now | Sep 30 09:51 |
| mjg59_ | That doesn't seem controversial | Sep 30 09:51 |
| mjg59_ | I've grown as a person since then | Sep 30 09:52 |

| schestowitz-TR | ok, zfs and swpats | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know very little about those patents | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but judging by the age of sun I guess those patents might expire in a few years | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | all spwats are bad | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just the zfs ones | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | epo is meanwhile trying to tuirn 2% grant rate of swpats into something like 70% | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is outright insane | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | i published an open letter related to that last night | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | soon the deadline comes for compliance with ilolat ruling | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the industrial action | Sep 30 09:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think we need to tackle all swpats, not per patent or per product | Sep 30 09:59 |

| Techrights-sec | Yes, the problem is the concept itself not individual patents. The idea that | Sep 30 10:01 |
| Techrights-sec | there are only a few 'bad patents' out there is a dead end meant to ensure | Sep 30 10:01 |
| Techrights-sec | that the focus is not on the source of the problem itself: the very idea of | Sep 30 10:01 |

| schestowitz-TR | same in diaspora | Sep 30 10:54 |
| Techrights-sec | Probably Musk's only positive contribution to society would be to expose | Sep 30 10:56 |
| Techrights-sec | Twitter for what it is. However, that activity has not yet played out and | Sep 30 10:56 |
| Techrights-sec | there is still a lot of time left on that clock. | Sep 30 10:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | at "best" they will settle in or outsiode court for him NOT buying twitter and then getting some financial lump sum | Sep 30 10:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | I tried turning clusters into topics of artiles in 2013-2014 | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I experimented with the approach of turning these into "References:" | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can do that again in tuxmachines | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a short summary, followed by links | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | e.g. | Sep 30 11:04 |

| schestowitz-TR | *ubuntu betas | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | all the buntus | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | what else is there to say about them? | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | "screew canoonical"? | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | not much controibution in that | Sep 30 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe outline of recent articles on canonical and ms? maybe, but it will take work | Sep 30 11:04 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 30 11:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | If I find no urgent/pressing topics, I'll dig a little more into covid-19 in the ul | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | it matters everyone | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I focus on one demography | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | close to homer | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it simplified keeping abrase of this issue | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | it can be mostlyh generalised to the whole world | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | same strains | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | same vaccines for the most part | Sep 30 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | similar gobv. policies | Sep 30 11:14 |
| Techrights-sec | M$ vs Canonical might be useful to examine more closely | Sep 30 11:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | we covered this some days ago, with video included | Sep 30 11:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | re osi, i mails phipps this morning | Sep 30 11:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | not too rude | Sep 30 11:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | osi is shit and that's not news, not since years ago | Sep 30 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | that many are not aware because they cenosrs and deploatform critics is something we nee to keep reminding people | Sep 30 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | even censoring osi founders | Sep 30 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but there have been some more articles and info since then | Sep 30 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec | The deplaforming is effective on their part and based on lies and, at best, | Sep 30 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec | distractions. Either way it serves to draw attention away from their | Sep 30 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec | misbehaviors. | Sep 30 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is an almost universal tactis, not oisi tactics | Sep 30 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF with pandering | Sep 30 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and billg with straw man flooding the press | Sep 30 11:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | *straw man aergs/straw men | Sep 30 11:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Correct, but it is highly inappropriate for OSI to also engage in such tactics. | Sep 30 11:19 |
| Techrights-sec | The very participation can be taken as a result of a change in control over | Sep 30 11:19 |
| Techrights-sec | OSI. | Sep 30 11:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | over the - GASP - discovery that email is not private | Sep 30 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if that was news after binney and others | Sep 30 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I even caustioned my uncle in LF (you know who) 20 years ago | Sep 30 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | that email is not secure and I don't want to speak about everything | Sep 30 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | in email | Sep 30 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | apropos email and 20 years, you could find emails from 20 years ago where mjg might be saying some truly vicious things about the people | Sep 30 11:23 |

| Techrights-sec | the brand itself seem to be a major goal of the gang now controlling it. | Sep 30 13:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Zero-day is nowadays merely a marketing term. M$ has been using the presst | Sep 30 13:25 |

| schestowitz-TR | they will blamne the attacked/exploiter in the headline | Sep 30 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | as in | Sep 30 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Russia/China/Iran targets [some] server" | Sep 30 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually not even the brand | Sep 30 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | CISA does this all the time | Sep 30 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if server is a generic thing, that's just there... | Sep 30 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if connecting with wrong u/p combination is already an "attack" | Sep 30 13:26 |
| Techrights-sec | And even then it is usually only use as an introduction to pushing "cloud" | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | substitutes for self-hosting. Using M$ is bad enough on its own but | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | offloading it to "cloud" is 10x dumber. | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Againg there it is, the conflation of "target" with successful breach. | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Of course with M$ they are the same but that is not true of proper server | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | operating systems and the wording is designed to steer people away from | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | realising or finding out about that. | Sep 30 13:27 |
| Techrights-sec | CISA is effectively just a lobbying arm of M$, should be disbanded. | Sep 30 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | i've observed cisa more closely since admfubar send me their rss feeds | Sep 30 13:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think they got compromised | Sep 30 13:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | if not since day 1 | Sep 30 13:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | nsa is VERY close to cisa | Sep 30 13:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not easy to tell the difference, except the FORMAL function | Sep 30 13:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | then there are CERT and others | Sep 30 13:28 |
| Techrights-sec | It is very apparent that they are badly compromised and working against | Sep 30 13:29 |
| Techrights-sec | national security, preventing it from the inside and preventing it from even | Sep 30 13:29 |
| Techrights-sec | being discussed. This might not be an issue if campagin finance reform had | Sep 30 13:29 |
| Techrights-sec | been discussed or otherwise addressed in 2016. Thanks, again, Hillary. | Sep 30 13:29 |

| schestowitz-TR | too many "security" gurus are like the trolls who pick on braxxman | Sep 30 13:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | huffing and puffing with nothign to show for it | Sep 30 13:31 |

| schestowitz-TR | one 'security' poser saw some .pl files and went, THERE!! BAD! PERLLLLLLL! PURLLLL! | Sep 30 13:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | probably cannot even read the code | Sep 30 13:31 |
| Techrights-sec | NSA certainly prefers that *all* computers become vulnerable to remote access | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | exploits in place of *any* at all being sound and stable. | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | There are so few actual security experts compared to the legions of m$ resellers | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | posing as computer or, worse, computer security experts. | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | Again back to the Huawei stuff, the public has been primed to be aware of the | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | network and in particular to be suspicious of CCP controlled entitites like | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | Huawei. But at the same time they have been trained to not see m$ as | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | in and of itself a hostile foreign entitity collaborating with but outside | Sep 30 13:33 |
| Techrights-sec | the control of the US government. | Sep 30 13:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence i posted several old snowden stories about Microsoft | Sep 30 13:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | just to remind people | Sep 30 13:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think shirt enought to qualify as fair use | Sep 30 13:33 |

| Techrights-sec | author + 90 years | Sep 30 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | or whatever | Sep 30 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | Recall the MWL post about how copyright maximalists write off assets by keeping | Sep 30 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | them out of circulation after jacking up the claimed value. Also recall the | Sep 30 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | PP script to bankrupt the copyright maximalists by copying (and then in the | Sep 30 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | same move deleting) files from the net. That was a play on them exaggerating | Sep 30 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | the market price of files. | Sep 30 13:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | PP was destroyed (except in one small country) like WikiLeaks | Sep 30 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | using a mixture of weapons | Sep 30 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's worth studying and undersstanding those | Sep 30 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | also EFF and FSF | Sep 30 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is not one single method, it's hybrid | Sep 30 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it typically starts with giving one wrong person control | Sep 30 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | after some pleading or blackmail | Sep 30 13:37 |

| Techrights-sec | CISA's causing this damage to go on and on and on by covering for bill | Sep 30 14:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | two options (i think): | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) cisa's and mirosoft's country becomes increasingfly obsolete | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) we replace both someone | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but like compromised orgs i think the ship will need to go down with the occupiers | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne thinks I should teach some day in the local (nearby) uniu | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | like, if I left my job | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | i tell her the unis became like companies | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | she got her cs degree before I did | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | they studied algebra and stuff, I wonder if discrete maths still get taught or just memorising guis and brands | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | not for productivity [sic] s/w but development tools | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | in my days they taught us dbs, yacc, lex, unix programs | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | *gdb also | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | it felt like they taught concepts, networking also | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | SQL, not any particular product | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and some alternatives to SQL | Sep 30 14:16 |

| Techrights-sec | m$ is not part of any country though it does steer many governments tightly | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | most universities have become half-assed trade schools and anything related | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | to ICT has become third rate m$ reselling | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | No theory is taught or, worse, applied. Right. | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | One place, *all* the applied CS faculty insisted on having *two* implementations | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | of any given technology for the students to use and do *all* the assignments | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | in both. That way they had a better chance of understanding the concepts | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | rather than just orienting to a specific vendor's package of the month. | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Those faculty, or at least their requirements, are long gone. | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Now there and everywhere I've tracked, the second tier m$ resellers embedded | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | on the payroll are calling all the shots from the teaching tools to the topics | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | taught, in painful detail. | Sep 30 14:18 |
| Techrights-sec | and not just for ICT | Sep 30 14:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | my lecturers were unix people | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | my phd supervisor a microsofter | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but he tolerated my choice of tools and platform | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | he had not programmed in decades | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | one student of his killed himself just months or a month after I started the programme | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | gareth jones | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | i never had the chance to even meet him in person | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | other students also complained about harsh standards | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | several left | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | some did finish | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | i am, loooking back at least, a bit cynical about what phd students are to unis | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | one or two fellow phd students were funded by pharma companies like astrazeneza | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I got my funding from European Union | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but we all still paid for our own time, food, accomodation | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "tution" fees... what for? a DESK? | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | the rare travel? | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | library subscription? | Sep 30 14:25 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 30 14:27 |
| Techrights-sec | The library subscription used to have role-based access. Now it is tied | Sep 30 14:27 |
| Techrights-sec | to IPv4 addresses and VPNs and other useless boondoggles have been tacked | Sep 30 14:27 |
| Techrights-sec | on, so as to limit MacOS access and prevent BSD + GNU/Linux access | Sep 30 14:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think vpn clients have matured since we were last there | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at work we are asked to use many vpns | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | some have barely a client for gnu/linuix, at besta topken one that does not work | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and is niot maintained, tgested etc. | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you end up haing to hop through some desktop opn the clown | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and so vpn becomes more of a gatewar thing | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | access to server slimited to that gateway | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and access to gateway is sometimes von-limited | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | or key-based | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | with GE (not a client anymore) they did this with WINDOWS VISTA | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe still are | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2022 | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and put some proprietary piece of crap on it to manage connection over putty | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | to debian boxes | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | the proprietary crap was like $300/year licence | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and did nothing more then a typical rdesktop/vnc client | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | the annual cost (to us) was like a new PC every year, or several Visata licences | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | but don't worry, GE is a "Respectable" company | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | they know what they'r edoing! | Sep 30 14:31 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Chris Hedges: The Disappearance of Meghan Marohn – scheerpost.com | Sep 30 14:34 | |
| schestowitz-TR | today I heard something similar about Alex Graveley | Sep 30 14:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | the mental crises are decades old | Sep 30 14:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and watch the people who impelemented the 2021 coup | Sep 30 14:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they should allocate one state to be the nation's mental asylum | Sep 30 14:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | tons of debt, foreclosurea, and MULTIPLE jobs can be reconciled by "medicating" | Sep 30 14:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | with no long-term plan, such as weaning people off the addicition | Sep 30 14:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | our joint friend contemplated suicide just over a decade agol | Sep 30 14:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was healthy, but in debt | Sep 30 14:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | well educated, but trapped | Sep 30 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 30 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec | It's thus a *massive* step down from the capabilities that were nearly | Sep 30 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec | ubiquitous by the mid-1990s :( | Sep 30 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec | Yep medicating people in response to untenable lives. Debt, shit jobs, medical | Sep 30 14:40 |
| Techrights-sec | problems, dreadful society, etc | Sep 30 14:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | living beyond one's mean to impress or keep up with other people is how capitalism extends its lifetime | Sep 30 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | adding personal debt to the national debtr, hoping for a miracle | Sep 30 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | rather than hyper-inflation due to scarece resources and concentration of capital | Sep 30 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | we chose a more modest way, which pays off | Sep 30 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you already have two cars and two kids you cannot easily "cut down" on the | Sep 30 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | maintenance overheads | Sep 30 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | *means | Sep 30 14:42 |
| Techrights-sec | Much of the hours in the work week end up going to paying car-related expenses. | Sep 30 14:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | cats are cheaper than cars and last longer | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. compared to "modern" cars | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, vets who don't rip you off are cheaper than one garage visit | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and cats don't come with a log | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | *logo | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you can shop around many vets | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not a monopoly | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne works with the nighbour's cats in the garden (this morning also) | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | so no costs associated | Sep 30 14:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | the canal trust looked after birds like geese, who are doing mostly fine on their own | Sep 30 14:46 |
| Techrights-sec | Though I am surprised it is still so low. And better for the health. | Sep 30 14:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Modern cars are a proprietary trap and over the product generations, the | Sep 30 14:47 |
| Techrights-sec | vendors are slowly closing the gate on the corral. | Sep 30 14:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Cats *love* to see people work with their hands and be around them while they | Sep 30 14:47 |
| Techrights-sec | garden especially. | Sep 30 14:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | my coffee becomes soil | Sep 30 14:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | so there is a good cycle of recycling | Sep 30 14:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | still going through links btw, not seeing Big Stories yet | Sep 30 14:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Fridays are slow | Sep 30 14:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Some plants prefer occasional coffee grounds, others must avoid them. | Sep 30 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | Fridays through Tuesday mornings are slow. News is only slightly active | Sep 30 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday night. I guess the staffing has bee | Sep 30 14:50 |
| Techrights-sec | been cut so far back, those are the only times writing comes out of the pipeline | Sep 30 14:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday I checked zdnet --> linux | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | as noted in irc | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | no stories in 7+ days | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | VERY unusual | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe now it's 8+ days | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | if it gets to 10 I'll do a quick post | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is no holiday | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | jst election | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have holidays for banks | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | not for voting | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | banks >> election | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | regarding reporting cycle | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I worked for datamation for a while | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the editor controls the publication | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | or has the final work, click, headline change | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | so one possibility is | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "writers" (like SJVN) are paid like casualy workers | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the editors are part-timers | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they line up the input and then on tuesday process the queue | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | in zdnet it's larry 'microsoft' dignan | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | who fired danablankenhorn in an unfaiur fashion | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes about dana writing about something not even foss relate | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and could not prove it | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | dana never recovered | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe the goal was to shut down paula and dana, who were doing lots of foss coverage there | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | paula vanished entirely after that | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | (by larry dignan, dana even named him) | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | larry now does podcasts about microsoft | Sep 30 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and raises money from them | Sep 30 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | ah, i recall the full name now: paula rooney | Sep 30 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can search that in techrights for more info I cannot recall anymore | Sep 30 14:55 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes that work flow has become painfully obvious along with the observation | Sep 30 14:57 |
| Techrights-sec | that there is an absolutely skeletal crew barely giving the appearance of | Sep 30 14:57 |
| Techrights-sec | a publication. The publication output is not even full-time any more. | Sep 30 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | full-time working -> work security -> journalistic independence | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | samne for judges | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | in a country with a functional legal system | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or unis with tenures | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | they still judge too much as much free work you give away to copyright predators like springer-verlahg | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or the likes of it | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or how many patents are stockpiled to be sold through "science park" and "incubators" or "startups" | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or simialr euphemisms | Sep 30 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | Apple is just following the "market standards" | Sep 30 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | EPO also, with all the same greenwashing and pinkwashing | Sep 30 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd just ignore it | Sep 30 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | as "bullshit folder", show me the real news | Sep 30 15:01 |
| Techrights-sec | There were many names at ZDNet, even, who covered FOSS | Sep 30 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | As far as I can tell, CMP bought and shut down BYTE because its writers and | Sep 30 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | editors were all catching a major interest in FOSS as it was already becoming | Sep 30 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | The Next Big thing and they were writing about it from many angles. | Sep 30 15:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | i cannot dintinguish betwen ukrainian and russiuan dialects | Sep 30 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so when I see russian-looking people here who speak 'the language' | Sep 30 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | I assume they might be family refugees | Sep 30 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | it also seems like all russian opinion polls are about as reliable as gunpoint referenda | Sep 30 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 30 15:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | goint to take a nap after daily links | Sep 30 15:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avoid migraines like yesterday | Sep 30 15:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's friday and I'm off work, no need to suffer | Sep 30 15:34 |
