02:55 schestowitz-TR; Glyn Moody now records his poetry as audio https://glanglish.blogspot.com/2021/05/thoughts-for-your-pennies.html
02:55 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-glanglish.blogspot.com | Glanglish: Thoughts for your pennies
03:01 schestowitz-TR; gm
03:06 schestowitz-TR; I like Glyn's voice and accent (you can hear his age, too)
03:06 schestowitz-TR; those accents become rare in our generation
03:06 schestowitz-TR; I can do various British accents too, but I chose something more people can understand when I was about 17
03:06 schestowitz-TR; Today I don't want to lose the whole day on patents
03:06 schestowitz-TR; I realise of course, and recalled too an hour ago,
03:06 schestowitz-TR; that I was reading and writing for social controll media
03:06 schestowitz-TR; things like hashtags
03:06 schestowitz-TR; those things affected what I read and wrotew
03:06 schestowitz-TR; that's not a good thing
03:06 schestowitz-TR; I found glyn's blog because I wanted to check if he was still active in twitter
03:06 schestowitz-TR; the amount of interaction he gets there is tiny
03:06 schestowitz-TR; imho, he's wasting his time there
03:06 schestowitz-TR; gm
03:07 schestowitz-TR; I'll have to track down the file from the link and give a test later
03:07 Techrights-sec; gm
03:07 Techrights-sec; I'll have to track down the file from the link and give a test later
03:08 schestowitz-TR; prose and memes are good for humour mostly
03:08 schestowitz-TR; when you want to say hypothetical things
03:08 schestowitz-TR; that are based partly on a reality
03:08 schestowitz-TR; but without being calls "inaccurate" or "false"
03:08 schestowitz-TR; *called
03:09 Techrights-sec; yes, last I checked, but then that is the case for most people
03:09 Techrights-sec; I haven't even used the nitter proxy for some time to read anyone's microblog
03:09 Techrights-sec; most are wasting time at twitter but FOMO
03:09 Techrights-sec; glyn's blog occasionally covers interesting topics but he seldom mentions his
03:09 Techrights-sec; writing there, at least his writing about technical matters and tech policy
03:11 schestowitz-TR; I think I can do a video to explain this aspect of "social" "media"
03:11 schestowitz-TR; last I checked, he writes in techdirt, but in shitposting sites he links to any articles there, not just his
03:11 schestowitz-TR; so it can be about cops of politics and F words in headlines..
03:12 Techrights-sec; I wish he would post short links to his writings in his blog or on the fediverse
03:12 Techrights-sec; because I would go out of my way to read them but can't normally find them
03:12 Techrights-sec; techdirt and PIA
03:14 schestowitz-TR; PIA's blog has not been active since the Lee empire ran into trouble
03:15 schestowitz-TR; wow, it has now been two months since I quit all that crap
03:15 schestowitz-TR; I was a "heavy smoker"
03:15 schestowitz-TR; maybe I should record in a moment, after coffee (I bre it by the litre since the kettle died)
03:15 schestowitz-TR; *brew
03:15 schestowitz-TR; OTA
04:11 schestowitz-TR; draft
04:11 schestowitz-TR; i want to ask, is this a subject we should routinely explode in the future?
04:11 schestowitz-TR; it does fit under our scope
04:11 Techrights-sec; which topic?
04:11 schestowitz-TR; but not sure about relative priority compared to swpats etc
04:12 schestowitz-TR; centralised & social media
04:12 schestowitz-TR; being a bad model for the Web/Net
04:12 schestowitz-TR; EFF never speaks about that, ever
04:12 schestowitz-TR; If EFF thjinks it can secure its future with a Musk-controlled Twitter account
04:12 schestowitz-TR; then it put itself in the chalk around the dead person's body
04:15 Techrights-sec; I think it is a very relevant topic because of the centralization and
04:15 Techrights-sec; of the demonstrated misuses it has seen and is seeing in regards to misleading
04:15 Techrights-sec; the public on all parts of the political spectrum
04:15 Techrights-sec; And because the EFF has not just dropped the ball here but fallen flat on
04:15 Techrights-sec; its face -- while running towards the opposite goal.
04:17 schestowitz-TR; OK, thanks. I just need to think of how to articulate certtain observatioins
04:17 schestowitz-TR; like how info digestion is covertly impacted and psting alike
04:17 schestowitz-TR; *posting
04:17 schestowitz-TR; for "engagement"
04:17 schestowitz-TR; or how (trying to recall)... one can become more productive without
04:17 schestowitz-TR; bothering with it at all
04:18 Techrights-sec; Engagement is the polar opposite of usability / efficiency
04:18 Techrights-sec; It is about consuming people's limited time and attention.
04:19 schestowitz-TR; it is one sub-category of Internet trolling
04:19 schestowitz-TR; except now it's "popularity"
04:19 schestowitz-TR; and you get a president who does it for years
04:19 schestowitz-TR; and that helped sell ads in the few years when twitter actually was profitable
04:19 Techrights-sec; https://thephantomtollbooth.fandom.com/wiki/The_Official_Senses-Taker
04:19 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-thephantomtollbooth.fandom.com | The Official Senses-Taker | The Phantom Tollbooth Wiki | Fandom
04:20 schestowitz-TR; 'The Official Senses-Taker is a demon that the trio found in The Mountains of Ignorance. He excels in wasting peoples' time and stealing their senses. He also helps people "find what they're not looking for, hear what they're not listening for, etc.""
04:23 schestowitz-TR; a lot of people who cover the twitter think
04:23 schestowitz-TR; *think
04:23 schestowitz-TR; fed elon's ego and attention
04:23 schestowitz-TR; the "brand"
04:23 schestowitz-TR; assxociated with graft and companies people wrongly assume he created
04:23 schestowitz-TR; so I tried not to make it about him
04:23 schestowitz-TR; but him being involved can help get people out of there
04:23 schestowitz-TR; FB is pretending to be something about "not ads"
04:23 schestowitz-TR; in fact, FB is not FB anymore
04:23 schestowitz-TR; maybe there are similar plams for Twitter
04:25 schestowitz-TR; ===
04:25 schestowitz-TR; some of FB's earlier "research" or "studies" were about average hop numbers in social graphis
04:25 schestowitz-TR; as if the interface was made to reward people for telling who they are connected to (school 50 years
04:25 schestowitz-TR; ago, ex parnter, spouse, cousin...)
04:25 schestowitz-TR; and that experiment succeeded
04:25 schestowitz-TR; even if you and I do not participate, others will feel the gaps
04:25 schestowitz-TR; and maybe also upload some media with us in it
04:26 Techrights-sec; FB has been about manipulation and surveillance since early on
04:26 Techrights-sec; Yes their studies were about how to tip an election, IIRC even back
04:26 Techrights-sec; then they could adjust the outcome by 3 points
04:26 Techrights-sec; in the direction of their choosing
04:27 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, luka loves that
04:27 schestowitz-TR; social mgraphics etc.
04:27 schestowitz-TR; in belarus tech was weaponised by the dictator, like in russia
04:27 schestowitz-TR; they found use of tech
04:27 schestowitz-TR; we'll cover this on monday
04:27 schestowitz-TR; *social graphs
04:34 schestowitz-TR; just to avoid oopses, today's otherlinks is empty file last updated 11am yesterday
04:37 Techrights-sec; Old links are more or less dead and gone even if they still exist because
04:37 Techrights-sec; first the search engines not only weight towards newer material, they seem
04:37 Techrights-sec; to deindex older material, and second, fulltext searching a massive body
04:37 Techrights-sec; of material is all but completely useless for retrieving anything useful;
04:37 Techrights-sec; For useful retrieval, the material must be cataloged. Correct
04:37 Techrights-sec; they have nothing to do with facillitating access to knowledge and the whole
04:37 Techrights-sec; framwork or system is set up to prevent long term preservation of material.
04:37 schestowitz-TR; today's search "engines" are 100% abour ECONOMICS
04:37 schestowitz-TR; they have nothing to do with facilitating access to knowledge
04:37 schestowitz-TR; look who controls them: shareholders
04:37 schestowitz-TR; and for companies that have a stake in the outcome of what's shown up
04:37 schestowitz-TR; and what you click first
04:37 schestowitz-TR; so I try to avoid SEs any time I can
04:37 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia is a starting point less biased than Gulag shareholders
04:37 schestowitz-TR; many of the other "search" "engines" are just meta engines feeding off those
04:37 schestowitz-TR; who can afford to crawl and then process vast amounts of words
04:45 Techrights-sec; Only somewhat less biased. Most anything of political or economic value
04:45 Techrights-sec; has been sliced and diced to steer people away from specific ideas, resources,
04:45 Techrights-sec; sources, and concepts. M$ atack on open standards, and specifically the open
04:45 Techrights-sec; document format, are two ofthe worst examples but most topics are manipulated
04:45 Techrights-sec; like that and some even manipulated in a more severe manner.
04:46 Techrights-sec; Just look at just about any edit war.
04:46 Techrights-sec; Wikipedia is almost ok at being a starting point, but sources and external links
04:46 Techrights-sec; are curated by hostile interests in such a way as to create huge blind spots
04:46 Techrights-sec; in coverage.
04:47 schestowitz-TR; techrights daily links 'curate' like a million links
04:47 schestowitz-TR; at the very least with headlines
04:47 schestowitz-TR; but those are now in gemini too
04:47 schestowitz-TR; search inn gemini sucks
04:47 schestowitz-TR; gus was not broad
04:47 schestowitz-TR; and they omit lots of stuff
04:47 schestowitz-TR; it takes a lot of computer power to process over a million pages
04:47 schestowitz-TR; and no ordinary server can deal with a task, it takes a lot of ram
04:48 Techrights-sec; yes there is bias there but since it is closer it is more steerable
04:48 Techrights-sec; As shown in the cursory investigation a few years ago the majority of the
04:48 Techrights-sec; bytes in your average web page are overhead and provide not just no value and no
04:48 Techrights-sec; added value but actually damage the value of the information accommanying the
04:48 Techrights-sec; cruft. IIRC >99% was cruft
04:50 schestowitz-TR; techrights DB -> techrights WP -> wordpr*.posts (remove revisions) -> flatten
04:51 schestowitz-TR; html -> convert to gemini -> gzip or xz
04:51 schestowitz-TR; ratio can be 100:1
04:51 schestowitz-TR; but storage is now "cheap"

13:42 schestowitz-TR; I've given up on "INBOX ZERO"
13:42 schestowitz-TR; the goal now it to write more articles etc.
13:42 schestowitz-TR; BTW, a lot of my email is just spam
13:43 schestowitz-TR; so I check it very infrequently
13:43 Techrights-sec; Inbox Zero is rather easily doable, albeit periodically
13:43 Techrights-sec; perhaps the post should stay "rubber stamping invalid patents"
13:43 Techrights-sec; to specify just what it is he is having them do
13:43 *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
13:47 schestowitz-TR; I have added invalid patents into the text
13:47 schestowitz-TR; regarding inbox zero, there can be OCD element to it if you carry on doing it for years
13:47 schestowitz-TR; keeping the house clean is like that for a lot of women
13:47 schestowitz-TR; but periodic cleaning works better in practice
13:47 schestowitz-TR; (side note: one of the WORST aspects of social media, for attention span, productivity distraction, focus)
13:47 schestowitz-TR; if you batch them, they can still lead to fatigue and sense of being ignored
13:47 schestowitz-TR; (as intended by the "engagement" gurus)
13:47 schestowitz-TR; ^ NOTIFICATIONS
13:47 schestowitz-TR; Twitter starter shoving ICYMI into Notifications
13:47 schestowitz-TR; sio it's even harder to ignore the "ads" in Twitter
13:47 schestowitz-TR; the agenda peddling by platform owner/s
13:48 Techrights-sec; repetition might not hurt, it drives home the point, maybe
13:52 Techrights-sec; yep, their goal is not to efficiently relay useful information but to
13:52 Techrights-sec; absorb maximum attention and mental activity
13:52 Techrights-sec; through addictive interfaces if necessary
13:53 schestowitz-TR; this is pretty much the definition of advertising
13:53 schestowitz-TR; but it is not suitably lebeled
13:53 schestowitz-TR; *labeled
13:53 schestowitz-TR; so many use social control media while blocking ads
13:53 schestowitz-TR; but they still get ads, still get manipulated
13:53 schestowitz-TR; but they can be in denial abotut that

15:47 schestowitz-TR; I want to brainstorm something
15:47 schestowitz-TR; say I have 700 items re patents
15:47 schestowitz-TR; many of them junk
15:47 schestowitz-TR; is it feasible and desirable to find a way to cover them en masse in a video?
15:47 schestowitz-TR; nd pick out the odd, very obscene, ones?
15:48 Techrights-sec; ack
15:48 Techrights-sec; probably not live, but there must be some way of triaging them
15:48 Techrights-sec; can you make a one-liner to loop through them and find ones to discard
15:48 Techrights-sec; immediately and then do a second pass of good vs bad for the rest?
15:48 Techrights-sec; or maybe all in one pass?
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I havew tried all sorts of things, inc. elimination on a list of keywords
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I did the same with Microsoft 12-14 years ago
15:50 schestowitz-TR; to cluster things
15:50 schestowitz-TR; but then what?
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I doin't want to link to these
15:50 Techrights-sec; 700 is quite a large number of documents to process with any level of
15:50 Techrights-sec; scrutiny
15:55 schestowitz-TR; right, but I would not go through them individually and instead comment on the clusters by running filters through
15:55 schestowitz-TR; sites and/or headlines
15:55 schestowitz-TR; OK, thanks, I will wait longer and maybe at some point I will write something or code something
