[09:12] matteobin I'm writing a review on an Amiga game and I'm looking for some tech info. [09:24] Techrights-sec Note that cryptocurrency news mostly goes under the 'energy' heading :/ [09:25] schestowitz-TR 5 or 10 years ago the hype had not yet died down [09:26] schestowitz-TR and I think the energy consumption grew almost quarradically [09:26] schestowitz-TR to the point where the cost of power just isn't worth the mining [09:26] schestowitz-TR *quadratically [09:27] Techrights-sec It was a waste of electricity from day 1 [09:27] Techrights-sec In that way, and some others, it is more like a ponzi scheme than anything [09:27] Techrights-sec else. The transaction costs are already prohibitive so it is not viable [09:27] Techrights-sec even for large purchases, only large speculation. That speculation has to [09:27] Techrights-sec collapse eventually as even that too becomes unviable. So what is happening [09:28] Techrights-sec now is that bitcoin in particular is nearing its end game and no one [09:28] Techrights-sec who bought in with real money wants to be the one left holding the bag [09:28] schestowitz-TR the zemlins made a killing [09:28] schestowitz-TR nyse ipo [09:28] schestowitz-TR $50 [09:28] schestowitz-TR to $2 in weeks or months [09:29] Techrights-sec IPO == pump and dump, for the most part [09:29] Techrights-sec It's when the investors and often the founders bail and give up on a "company" [09:29] Techrights-sec when it becomes apparent that they are heading down a dead end. [09:32] 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 [09:32] schestowitz-TR they first give you a waste of gains and wins [09:32] schestowitz-TR but then, once in a decade or so [09:32] schestowitz-TR the BIG RAKE comes in, taking in everything [09:32] schestowitz-TR so all those gains too get wiped out (And then some more) [09:32] schestowitz-TR who is safe? [09:32] schestowitz-TR insider traders and people like billg with bank accounts in bermuda, cayman, etc. [09:32] schestowitz-TR they are insiders and outsiders to this system [09:32] schestowitz-TR insiders when it comes to toip-off [09:32] schestowitz-TR outsiders when it comes to the consequences [09:32] schestowitz-TR it's a rigged gmae [09:32] schestowitz-TR many fall for it [09:32] schestowitz-TR many in my family too [09:32] schestowitz-TR who "invest" their savings [09:32] schestowitz-TR first bragging [09:32] schestowitz-TR then comes the collapse [09:32] schestowitz-TR then silence... they don't wish to be seen (like my friend this past year) [09:37] schestowitz-TR mjg (who reads this) has just outed himself as transphobe [09:37] mjg59_ Not actually what I said [09:37] schestowitz-TR I saw what you said [09:37] schestowitz-TR you cannot un-wrtite it [09:38] mjg59_ Not disagreeing, but your discription is still inaccurate [09:47] schestowitz-TR you were, by your own admission, an adult transphobe [09:47] schestowitz-TR you cannot take it back [09:47] schestowitz-TR and I will keep reminding people [09:51] schestowitz-TR you went to oxbridge, but you are not too bright. you keep making self-incriminating statements, very tactless [09:51] mjg59_ I said stuff in the past that I regret now [09:51] mjg59_ That doesn't seem controversial [09:52] mjg59_ I've grown as a person since then [09:52] mjg59_ Are you suggesting that people can't improve?

I guess the staffing has bee [14:50] Techrights-sec been cut so far back, those are the only times writing comes out of the pipeline [14:54] schestowitz-TR yesterday I checked zdnet --> linux [14:54] schestowitz-TR as noted in irc [14:54] schestowitz-TR no stories in 7+ days [14:54] schestowitz-TR VERY unusual [14:54] schestowitz-TR maybe now it's 8+ days [14:54] schestowitz-TR if it gets to 10 I'll do a quick post [14:54] schestowitz-TR there is no holiday [14:54] schestowitz-TR jst election [14:54] schestowitz-TR we have holidays for banks [14:54] schestowitz-TR not for voting [14:54] schestowitz-TR banks >> election [14:54] schestowitz-TR regarding reporting cycle [14:54] schestowitz-TR I worked for datamation for a while [14:54] schestowitz-TR the editor controls the publication [14:54] schestowitz-TR or has the final work, click, headline change [14:54] schestowitz-TR so one possibility is [14:54] schestowitz-TR the "writers" (like SJVN) are paid like casualy workers [14:54] schestowitz-TR and the editors are part-timers [14:54] schestowitz-TR so they line up the input and then on tuesday process the queue [14:54] schestowitz-TR in zdnet it's larry 'microsoft' dignan [14:54] schestowitz-TR who fired danablankenhorn in an unfaiur fashion [14:54] schestowitz-TR sometimes about dana writing about something not even foss relate [14:54] schestowitz-TR and could not prove it [14:54] schestowitz-TR dana never recovered [14:54] schestowitz-TR and maybe the goal was to shut down paula and dana, who were doing lots of foss coverage there [14:54] schestowitz-TR paula vanished entirely after that [14:54] schestowitz-TR (by larry dignan, dana even named him) [14:54] schestowitz-TR larry now does podcasts about microsoft [14:55] schestowitz-TR and raises money from them [14:55] schestowitz-TR ah, i recall the full name now: paula rooney [14:55] schestowitz-TR you can search that in techrights for more info I cannot recall anymore [14:57] Techrights-sec Yes that work flow has become painfully obvious along with the observation [14:57] Techrights-sec that there is an absolutely skeletal crew barely giving the appearance of [14:57] Techrights-sec a publication. The publication output is not even full-time any more. ● Sep 30 [15:00] schestowitz-TR full-time working -> work security -> journalistic independence [15:00] schestowitz-TR samne for judges [15:00] schestowitz-TR in a country with a functional legal system [15:00] schestowitz-TR or unis with tenures [15:00] schestowitz-TR they still judge too much as much free work you give away to copyright predators like springer-verlahg [15:00] schestowitz-TR or the likes of it [15:00] schestowitz-TR or how many patents are stockpiled to be sold through "science park" and "incubators" or "startups" [15:00] schestowitz-TR or simialr euphemisms [15:01] schestowitz-TR Apple is just following the "market standards" [15:01] schestowitz-TR EPO also, with all the same greenwashing and pinkwashing [15:01] schestowitz-TR I'd just ignore it [15:01] schestowitz-TR as "bullshit folder", show me the real news [15:02] Techrights-sec There were many names at ZDNet, even, who covered FOSS [15:02] Techrights-sec As far as I can tell, CMP bought and shut down BYTE because its writers and [15:02] Techrights-sec editors were all catching a major interest in FOSS as it was already becoming [15:02] Techrights-sec The Next Big thing and they were writing about it from many angles. [15:08] schestowitz-TR i cannot dintinguish betwen ukrainian and russiuan dialects [15:08] schestowitz-TR so when I see russian-looking people here who speak 'the language' [15:08] schestowitz-TR I assume they might be family refugees [15:08] schestowitz-TR it also seems like all russian opinion polls are about as reliable as gunpoint referenda [15:28] Techrights-sec ack [15:34] schestowitz-TR goint to take a nap after daily links [15:34] schestowitz-TR to avoid migraines like yesterday [15:34] schestowitz-TR it's friday and I'm off work, no need to suffer [15:34] Techrights-sec congrats ● Sep 30 [16:23] *schestowitz-TR has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [16:24] *schestowitz-TR (~acer-box@freenode/user/schestowitz) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 30 [17:21] *starstreak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [17:46] *matteobin has quit (Quit: leaving) [17:48] Techrights-sec back in a few hours [17:48] schestowitz-TR feeling miles fresher now [17:48] schestowitz-TR just looking for topics etc. [17:48] schestowitz-TR feeling miles fresher now [17:48] schestowitz-TR just looking for topics etc. [17:49] *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 30 [18:02] schestowitz-TR (NEW): New Cyber Bill Aims To Fix Open-Source Security in Government http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/09/30/New_Cyber_Bill_Aims_To_Fix_Open_Source_Security_in_Government.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/09/30/New_Cyber_Bill_Aims_To_Fix_Open_Source_Security_in_Government.gmi [18:02] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-news.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines New Cyber Bill Aims To Fix Open-Source Security in Government [18:03] schestowitz-TR casual reminds that sites which push LF propaganda also push Microsoft talking points [18:03] schestowitz-TR rianne ppsted this [18:03] schestowitz-TR of course it mentions log4j [18:28] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@s3762q6y4zxnn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [18:59] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Sep 30 [20:37] schestowitz-TR Spamnil has just published spam for Microsoft and OSI, in effect helping a Microsoft sponsored campaign to encourage GPL violations under the guise of "HEY HI".
