Figos and I have had a falling-out. He told me that he had interrupted one of your chats and I disapproved and he got mad at me... Maybe he will get over it, and then again, maybe not. [00:09] schestowitz it's hard to speak to him directly any longer because he gets angry very easily, including at Alex Oliva and RMS. [00:10] schestowitz > Thanks for posting the story! [00:10] schestowitz No problem. [00:10] schestowitz Sorry it took so long. [00:10] schestowitz JoinDiaspora fixed some of the broken bits (not all; still no email notifications... since last year) the same morning I donated some money. ● Sep 17 [01:17] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@grabpb63i68m2.irc) has joined #techbytes [01:42] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:43] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Sep 17 [02:33] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #techbytes [02:33] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 17 [03:03] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [03:09] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@bzfy7qyfg7eje.irc) has joined #techbytes [03:58] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [03:59] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Sep 17 [04:55] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Sep 17 [05:19] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [05:31] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@hwgmrsa9nr3ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [05:47] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [05:55] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@vf9uspfbqtzpu.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 17 [06:44] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #techbytes [06:45] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 17 [07:52] schestowitz https://twitter.com/joseangelguio/status/1438444603670245386 [07:52] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@joseangelguio: @schestowitz Una gran noticia [07:59] schestowitz > For some reason, I thought I would look beyond the website, and see what [07:59] schestowitz > was on the internet about Pollock Cohen.

[08:00] schestowitz FWIW, I think the lawsuit against Lee is misguided, IIRC it's Tennessee-based, and it is mis-framing the actual problem at the USPTO or aims at the wrong thing. Iancu and Kappos bothered me a lot more and extremists try to shoehorn another puppet into Director slot at the moment. [08:00] schestowitz This whole system is f-ed. It's even worse in Europe's EPO, which I write a lot more about: http://techrights.org/wiki/EPO [08:00] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-techrights.org | EPO - Techrights [08:52] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Sep 17 [09:36] *schestowitz-TR2 (~acer-box@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #techbytes [09:36] *schestowitz-TR has quit (connection closed) [09:54] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@qiahibkh2iwka.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 17 [12:41] schestowitz x https://www.computerworld.com/article/3633630/windows-11-just-say-no.html [12:41] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.computerworld.com | Windows 11: Just say no | Computerworld [12:47] schestowitz x https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/supply-chain-attacks-against-the-open-source-ecosystem-soar-by-650-report [12:47] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-portswigger.net | Supply chain attacks against the open source ecosystem soar by 650% report | The Daily Swig [12:50] schestowitz-TR2 https://nitter.actionsack.com/vendettaxk/status/1438801960426250241#m [12:50] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-nitter.actionsack.com | Pierre Bueno (@vendettaxk): "MS is a cancer not only in games! http://techrights.org/2019/03/18/no-truce-but-war-on-linux/" | nitter ● Sep 17 [16:17] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [16:33] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@q7hw8jerm52e6.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 17 [17:16] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@45h69cy8rc2me.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Sep 17 [18:34] *blitzed (~blitzed@vnxqxiuvnzmtg.irc) has joined #techbytes
