| schestowitz | I'm of the view (Rianne knows this) that to amplify something misses the point because I can link to amplify, instead. | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | What we need to do is say what nobody else dares say or has said before. | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | Example: distro release. Do I need to write about it? Or just like to the source (distro's site)? What would be added by me spending hours researching it? Also, what if I just 'steal' their traffic and thunder? Why not link to the people who did all the hard work? | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | This morning I said to Rianne (because she likes Daniel's articles in general.. for years now)... is it worth doing an article with just a bunch of links? I mean, what can I add or say that he didn't already say? | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | This kind of thinking, I believe, attracted people to techrights. It's what makes it different. We do corrections and refutations. | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | So... the main question to ask is, what are today's common myths and what about? I think we dispelled some LF myths and EPO's image is not better adjusted to what it really is. And EPO workers actually like that! They want things to change. | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | The Microsoft SEC/fraud thing is interesting, but I have no permission to share inside documents (pending investigation without prejudice). | Oct 12 07:48 |
| schestowitz | Ian has been working on Free Software Federation things. We got in contact with Matt Lee as well. Maybe we can sort out a sort of truce for GNU. | Oct 12 07:48 |

| schestowitz | you are right about “educational system” - why does neither the US nor Germany nor the UK all the “rich western countries” do not learn from each other when it comes to education? No - instead US and Germany cut education funding more and more - why? because the elite can rule stupid people easier. | Oct 12 08:30 |
