No News Drought in Techrights
To us in Techrights "slow news" isn't really a problem (not even a new problem); yes, the media in general is dying, but that gives us an opportunity to catch up with many stories we've been sitting on, in some cases for several years. We have thousands of lines of unpublished notes about the EPO. The same is true for GitHub (many thousands of lines of unpublished notes), where the former CEO, his mate Miguel de Icaza, and their longtime mate (the "Serial Strangler" with sick sexual fetishes) worry about what will come out next. Ever wondered why Nat Friedman is no longer CEO and de Icaza left altogether? Ever wondered about their connection to the serial defamer? Those aren't hypothetical connections, they're well substantiated and demonstrable. Apparently PR firms were hired to hide those connections.
Techrights is in some sense enjoying how the media (or "news cycle") slows down. That finally lets us catch up with years' worth of backlog. Leaving my job after almost 12 years also contributes to available time for research and publication.
In the past 3 days I published about 70 original articles/pages here and elsewhere. I didn't lack sleep or anything, I was calm and patient, and moreover I double-checked the claims/facts, not only proofread what I had typed.
To some people the thought of Techrights becoming more productive (more output) is "scary". We know about the things which they want nobody to know.
As always, our utmost priority (for coverage) is software patents and the EPO scandals. That was our focus in 2006 after the Microsoft/Novell patent deal. When time permits we'll expand the scope a bit.
Tomorrow we plan to publish "The Campaign to 'End' Richard Stallman - Part IV - The Legitimate Concerns" and later today we'll publish the final part of "A 3-Year Campaign to Coerce/Intimidate Us Into Censorship" (connected to that).
As we said out loud many times in the past, this site is exceptionally difficult to censor or derail. Some people tried all sorts of things, but they always failed. They'll carry on trying and we'll ensure they'll fail every single time. █
