schestowitz[07:36] <MrGreenFriend> yeh, this is another weird story. Cody Wilson had a target on his back too.  this story doesn't add up-- so allegedly, he hooked up with a 16 year-old, in a state where the age of consent law is 17. (Also, legal for 19 year-old guys to hook up with 16 year-old girls, in Texas)  https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/cody-wilson-pleads-guilty-to-lesser-charges-will-register-as-a-sex-offendeAug 11 07:53

schestowitz[07:36] <schestowitz> Eric is anotherAug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:37] <schestowitz> I saw some comments about him in  https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=19/08/05/013251Aug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:37] <schestowitz> made me angry, like anything I read smears about Julian AssangeAug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:38] <schestowitz> they portray journalists and recyclers as criminals and fraudsAug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:40] <schestowitz> I need to archive these commentsAug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:40] <schestowitz> might come handy laterAug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:40] <schestowitz> some are from MSFT employeesAug 11 07:53
schestowitz[07:40] <schestowitz> So in case Eric sues for defamation...Aug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:41] <schestowitz> [07:41] <schestowitz> Before people get too upset about this, they may want to read this [theverge.com]. It paints very different picture than the rather ranty Techrights coverage.Aug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:41] <schestowitz> [07:41] <schestowitz> I have no skin in the game and don't care about Microsoft one way or the other, but the guy certainly seems to be pretty dubious. He was prosecuted for counterfeiting Windows CDs in China, with his own emails as evidence. He can claim he was doing it to save baby fur seals or whatever he wants on Techrights, but it doesn't change the fact that he was counterfeiting Windows CDs in China.Aug 11 07:54

schestowitz[07:43] <schestowitz> "(I work for Microsoft and as such my opinion is invalid.)"Aug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:44] <MrGreenFriend> i never liked MrGreen's quotes "i was getting in the way of M$ profits."  i thought it would be better to say "i was saving M$ money from hosting the Restore.ISO's"Aug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:46] <schestowitz> both are trueAug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:47] <schestowitz> but a  lawyer would have chosen one framing over the other, depending on whose side the lawyer/liar is onAug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:47] <schestowitz> the first sounds like, "yes, I cause them financial damage" (and am proud of it)Aug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:48] <MrGreenFriend> anyway it is a moot point, it was up to the judgeAug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:48] <schestowitz> I want to see court docsAug 11 07:54
schestowitz[07:48] <schestowitz> the testimony which the judge removed etc.Aug 11 07:54

schestowitzwhat are we going to use instead of Linux? We either need the Hurd, the kernel of a BSD, or a fork of Linux. At least that’s the way it’s headed.Aug 11 08:20
schestowitzagreed, and i think it will be a fork of linux. im sure most of us would prefer hurd. it could also be bsd.Aug 11 08:20
schestowitzits important to know that no matter what it is, that the people doing this also have people stalking bsd and anything else. this is a war, bill gates even calls it one http://techrights.org/2019/04/18/mention-the-war/ and he still runs microsoft, just not officially or directly. (sort of directly. hes still on the board and its a cult of personality like apple.)Aug 11 08:20

schestowitzif you want to write an open letter to rms, i can post your letter on a page that will be dedicated to such letters. you can also email rms directly, but since his answers are often predictable id recommend making YOUR part of the letter open/first. a collection of letters would be more useful.Aug 11 08:20

schestowitzi suspect people who use #gnu already know this.Aug 11 08:21
schestowitzbut will #linux (“gnu” spelled wrong) users realise this after denying it for so many years?Aug 11 08:21
schestowitzlike #logo is both a programming language and a teaching philosophy, #gnu is both a collection of software and a philosophy about user freedom.Aug 11 08:21
schestowitz#linux is a kernel as well as a desire to reframe #gnu with fewer ethical concerns.Aug 11 08:21
schestowitz#open source is a “development methodology,” as well as a form of-- what, denialism? dont underestimate the ability of large groups of people to keep themselves from admitting whats right in front of them. theyve already chosen something else over freedom-- now that theyve gained exactly what they aimed to, why would they suddenly admit that its bogus? bogus or not, it is still exactly what they wanted all along. its the year of the linuxAug 11 08:21

schestowitzYeah, but what’s the alternative?Aug 11 08:21
schestowitzthe idea of progress is you walk away from the worst thing-- then you try to find something better. the alternative should be obvious, but alternatives are tricky.Aug 11 08:21
schestowitzyou offer an alternative to microsoft for long enough-- sooner or later someone offers you the “alternative” to your alternative, which is the thing people would have hopefully walked away from already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclical_theory https://xkcd.com/2044/Aug 11 08:21
