03:58 schestowitz-TR; my experience these past months, and prior to that, may help me write about tech RIGHTS from
03:59 schestowitz-TR; an angle not limited to FS
03:59 schestowitz-TR; addign draft
03:59 schestowitz-TR; I think we cover some unique scenarios in the series
03:59 schestowitz-TR; not issues I saw covered before in blogs
03:59 schestowitz-TR; i.e. "grey" area
03:59 techrightssec2; If there is a point in mentioning the EFF, then a sentence should be added as
03:59 techrightssec2; to why it is being named.
04:02 schestowitz-TR; adding eff
04:02 schestowitz-TR; edited the typos, suggestions etc.
04:02 schestowitz-TR; yes, enumeration would require careful thinking
04:02 schestowitz-TR; maybe for the wiki somewhere
04:02 schestowitz-TR; but maybe best to write first, then categorise carefully
04:02 schestowitz-TR; epo is impacted by many of the same issues
04:02 schestowitz-TR; esp. the home workers
04:03 techrightssec2; The unique issues could be enumerated, perhaps?
04:03 techrightssec2; thanks
04:05 schestowitz-TR; fortmulating arguments about new, creeping issues isn't easy, I think
04:05 schestowitz-TR; it takes time
04:05 schestowitz-TR; like finding some formula
04:05 schestowitz-TR; not just teaching it
04:05 schestowitz-TR; with FS, we already have gnu/rms/fsf to explain the issues
04:05 schestowitz-TR; this is different
04:05 schestowitz-TR; farnell is good at explaining academia
04:05 schestowitz-TR; he had spent a long time there, media also
04:05 schestowitz-TR; Times HE is (self)censoring him
04:11 techrightssec2; How is Times HE suppressing his message?
04:11 schestowitz-TR; same way datametion did me
04:11 schestowitz-TR; datamation
04:11 schestowitz-TR; now it runs enderle pieces
04:15 techrightssec2; (He did have a rather good article there, but I do not know what he originally
04:15 techrightssec2; turned in to them.)
04:15 techrightssec2; Oh.
04:15 techrightssec2; By the way, the US Congress is chasing a red herring in blaming Tiktok for
04:15 techrightssec2; surveillance and not for its psychologically and physically harmful experience
04:15 techrightssec2; targeting youths and kids. Yes, surveillance by ByteDance is a thing but that
04:15 techrightssec2; is only part of what the company is about. It is mainly about influencing
04:15 techrightssec2; behavior. In this case, harming a whole generation and removing it culturally
04:15 techrightssec2; from the cultures it would have otherwise been part of. Both on behalf of CCP
04:16 schestowitz-TR; where does their funding come from? ads?
04:16 schestowitz-TR; lunduke just did an article about cia funding for tech "companies"
04:16 schestowitz-TR; even DB companies
04:21 techrightssec2; Good question.
04:21 schestowitz-TR; it is a very dark area, darkened by cranks and straw men
04:24 techrightssec2; Yes, there is a lot of chaff thrown in there to keep focus off of the data or
04:24 techrightssec2; even the very question. That can be an indicator of importance though, in some
04:24 techrightssec2; contexts.

10:29 schestowitz-TR; I have begun thinking how to classify the issues we deal with
10:29 schestowitz-TR; and then cluster or compartmentalise them
10:29 schestowitz-TR; so that we're not "all over the place"
10:29 schestowitz-TR; at a later point I can rearrange and revisit
10:29 schestowitz-TR; epo workers have had similar issues
10:29 schestowitz-TR; many parallels
10:33 techrightssec2; ack
10:44 schestowitz-TR; tv sucks
10:44 schestowitz-TR; but...
10:44 schestowitz-TR; after social control media
10:44 schestowitz-TR; for official national use
10:44 schestowitz-TR; it seems like a lesser evil
10:44 schestowitz-TR; it does lie a lot
10:44 schestowitz-TR; but there is still some quality control
10:44 schestowitz-TR; they must first assess the quality of the lies
10:44 schestowitz-TR; sometimes national broadcasters prmote some common cause of national interest
10:44 schestowitz-TR; in twitter, ksa et al promote some foreign interests
10:44 schestowitz-TR; even if the suffix is localised and the language seems local
10:44 schestowitz-TR; and even if everyone spoke freely within a nation
10:44 schestowitz-TR; sometimes would manipulate who sees what and when
10:44 schestowitz-TR; based on external (to thje tribe) interests
10:44 schestowitz-TR; with mastodon, some orgs made their own instance
10:45 schestowitz-TR; which they govern
10:45 schestowitz-TR; it's a lesser evil but still suffers issues in the context of the complete fediverse
10:45 techrightssec2; Yes, there is still some quality control, but not much especially on the
10:45 techrightssec2; commercial channels it is lacking.
10:45 techrightssec2; Commercial television is basically unregulated lobbying and advocacy against
10:45 techrightssec2; society.
10:47 schestowitz-TR; in 2022 gemini did not get polluted by corporations
10:47 schestowitz-TR; at least not yet
10:47 schestowitz-TR; wait till the microsofters there get "control channels of comms" with some paid
10:47 schestowitz-TR; "influencers" to shill vscode, shithub, azure...
10:47 schestowitz-TR; like in r-bloggers
10:47 techrightssec2; At least state channels are ostensibly governed by the population. Though
10:47 techrightssec2; several layers of bureacracy might lie in between and impair that.
10:48 schestowitz-TR; btw jon udell and some other bloggers in your opml are microsofters or former ones
10:48 schestowitz-TR; hence you might get the habitual "how microsoft won back devs"
10:48 schestowitz-TR; or "we partner with microsoft"
10:50 techrightssec2; ack
10:50 techrightssec2; I need a way to tag their feeds better. Every once in a while they do cover
10:50 techrightssec2; useful topics but perhaps that should be treated more skeptically if it is only\bait for their m$ talking points.

11:53 schestowitz-TR; come to think of it, the term "tech rights" is very handy
11:53 schestowitz-TR; it offers lots of leeway in terms of thje scope opf the coverage over timew

12:15 schestowitz-TR; one old favourite of mine was Oldversions
12:15 schestowitz-TR; and its motto, NewerIsNotAlwaysBetter
12:15 schestowitz-TR; that was 2 decades ago
12:15 schestowitz-TR; very true in the FS world to this date
12:15 schestowitz-TR; esp. with "phones", "clown" and other trends brought forth by interests hostile to humans

If shorter, shallower tracks are easier to produce, get higher play counts, and therefore generate more money, the industry will trend in that direction." https://rubenerd.com/marcel-bischoff-on-commercial-radio/
