04:02 schestowitz-TR; "Dr. Roy Schestowitz is the #1 Microsoft hater." http://www.fosspatents.com/2022/04/microsoft-rightly-withdrew-support-for.html
04:02 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.fosspatents.com | FOSS Patents: Microsoft rightly withdrew support for ACT | The App(le) Association (which it once created) -- why are Verizon, Intel, AT&T, Verisign still behind advocacy against 99.9% of app developers?
04:02 Techrights-sec; Or maybe just the last man standing after all the others have gotten bought out
04:02 Techrights-sec; either directly or indirectly by their decades long repuation laundering scheme.
04:04 schestowitz-TR; The police is the #1 crime hater
04:07 schestowitz-TR; hate is not healthy
04:07 schestowitz-TR; no doubt about that
04:07 schestowitz-TR; but crime is even more unhealthy
04:07 schestowitz-TR; not just for minds, but for the functioning of a society based upon rules and sensibilities
04:09 Techrights-sec; "hater" is what they='ve been able to frame all criticism of their crimes as
04:09 Techrights-sec; or the functioning of a naton; many nations have had what amount to roving
04:09 Techrights-sec; teams of sabateurs spreading across their territories and undermining the
04:09 Techrights-sec; technical infrastructure.
04:09 schestowitz-TR; right, I am not too worried because at the end people see things for what they are
04:09 schestowitz-TR; it's hard to perpetually fool people with all sorts of identity cards
04:09 schestowitz-TR; and PR stunts
04:09 schestowitz-TR; we just need to keep cooll and keep at it
04:10 Techrights-sec; Maybe, but so far M$ has been able to shift blame on all things including the
04:10 Techrights-sec; induced vulnerability oto cyberattacks.
04:10 Techrights-sec; Yes persistence is a key here.
04:10 Techrights-sec; But it's not just the M$ people and M$ products which are deadly for nations,
04:10 Techrights-sec; it is more so the M$ way of thinking. Who the F would think it's ok to design
04:10 Techrights-sec; cars where remote attackers can turn off the brakes and floor the accelerator,
04:10 Techrights-sec; among other things.
04:12 schestowitz-TR; to diagress a little,
04:12 schestowitz-TR; figos (now matey) thinks I am being too soft
04:12 schestowitz-TR; and then blasts me if I insinuate he sometimes goes too far
04:12 schestowitz-TR; like attacking people who are barely even the main or the woprst actors
04:12 schestowitz-TR; I think that it's important not to feed the crowd or the slant
04:12 schestowitz-TR; that calls us angry or unreasonable
04:13 Techrights-sec; It is important to be aware that M$ does what it can over the years to sow
04:13 Techrights-sec; strife through as many communities as it can.
04:13 Techrights-sec; M$ encourages name calling
04:14 schestowitz-TR; [03:04] <techrights-news> Decades-long Microsoft propagandist Paul Thurrott covering up for Microsoft back doors and other inher
04:14 schestowitz-TR; ently security issues https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/265150/google-claims-microsoft-makes-governments-less-secure
04:14 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/265150/google-claims-microsoft-makes-governments-less-secure )
04:15 Techrights-sec; They always have their shills covering up and distracting from the real problems
04:15 Techrights-sec; and their real causes.
04:15 Techrights-sec; Note the complete silence from the WhiteHouse on the matter despite making all
04:15 Techrights-sec; kinds of noise otherwise about cyberattacks.
04:15 Techrights-sec; and cyberdefense.
04:19 schestowitz-TR; it is probably even harder to take on misinformation from "Big Oil"
04:19 schestowitz-TR; I think they might have eben bigger clout
04:19 schestowitz-TR; but that's not to belittle what we do
04:19 schestowitz-TR; in fact, there are things I heardx 2 days ago that suggest shithub
04:19 schestowitz-TR; is reeling in pain and trying to silence critics
04:19 schestowitz-TR; using laawsuits and settlements
04:19 schestowitz-TR; they already are in disarray
04:19 schestowitz-TR; but they keep silent and calm
04:19 schestowitz-TR; to prevent panic
04:19 schestowitz-TR; I also think that fostering a culture of whistleblowers is good
04:19 schestowitz-TR; so we have more mitchel lewises
04:21 Techrights-sec; M$ products are probably strategically far more dangerous than Nordstream2
04:21 Techrights-sec; the disinformation tactics used by M$ are like those used by tobacco and oil
04:21 Techrights-sec; Yes, there need to be more but ost of all the courts need to neutralize the
04:21 Techrights-sec; non-disparagement clauses almost certainly piggybacked onto $ severance
04:21 Techrights-sec; packages and even regular employment contracts. That's on top of the cult-like
04:21 Techrights-sec; loyalty prerequisite for initial employment there,
04:22 schestowitz-TR; the NSA has just caught another insider/contractor
04:22 schestowitz-TR; I fiirmly believe that one real risk is,
04:22 schestowitz-TR; 1) people whose leaks have no real outcome/impact
04:22 schestowitz-TR; 2) people who get caught and accomplish nothing
04:22 schestowitz-TR; as that discourages future attempts
04:24 Techrights-sec; #1 is the worst; the country just shrugs and turns back to twitter or facebook
04:24 Techrights-sec; There are a lot of naive people who think that "getting things out in the open"
04:24 Techrights-sec; will change things. Nothing changes as the public (in the US and soon elsewhere) has become too uneducated to make informed dec
04:24 Techrights-sec; isions even if they were not
04:24 Techrights-sec; 100% absorbed in a combination of treading water at work and clicking mindlessly
04:24 Techrights-sec; through social control media. The latter is about manipulation and unlike what
04:24 Techrights-sec; some politicians and former politicians may wish to believe is not in any way
04:24 Techrights-sec; an unfiltered or even reliable source; Hell it's not even a source of information.
04:24 Techrights-sec; It never was, never will be, never can be.
04:28 schestowitz-TR; lots of things I want to sat
04:28 schestowitz-TR; *say
04:28 schestowitz-TR; 1) many women opened up wounds over what trump did to them
04:28 schestowitz-TR; it changed almost nothing
04:28 schestowitz-TR; 2) remember jeff reif, who spoke of reno-bade Microsoft tax dodge?
04:28 schestowitz-TR; 3) to many of these people, this is the end of their career
04:28 schestowitz-TR; nobody would employ them
04:28 schestowitz-TR; all they have is a trail of old press reports
04:28 schestowitz-TR; and many of these articles go offline over time
04:28 schestowitz-TR; 4) the strategy used against these people is make them feel powerless
04:28 schestowitz-TR; and gaslight or ignore them if feasible
04:28 schestowitz-TR; inducing self-shame or regret is a plus
04:28 Techrights-sec; The remains of the press are part of the problem. That comes from the corporate
04:28 Techrights-sec; ownership which sets the agenda and priorities, and replaces the journalists
04:28 Techrights-sec; with stenographers.
04:28 Techrights-sec; M$ runs like a mafia and exploits regional or local corruption but in harmony
04:28 Techrights-sec; with their national level attacks.
04:31 schestowitz-TR; for the first time in over a month one blog mentioned EPO strike
04:31 schestowitz-TR; the comments as in comment section can be considered good
04:31 schestowitz-TR; but the media is in such an awful state
04:31 schestowitz-TR; that in order to get info you need to find some rare blog posts and even
04:31 schestowitz-TR; then the blog post is worthless, so you need to scroll down
04:31 schestowitz-TR; to comments
04:31 schestowitz-TR; i'm sure "manufacturing consent" had some bits covering that aspect
04:31 schestowitz-TR; of the propaganda model
04:32 Techrights-sec; AFAIK none of the national sites picked up *any* coverage of the EPO strike.
04:32 Techrights-sec; They barely cover strikes within their own countries and then only mostly from
04:32 Techrights-sec; the perspectivce of the employer.
04:32 Techrights-sec; That and "Shock Doctrine".
04:32 schestowitz-TR; I will do a long video later today
04:33 schestowitz-TR; in the meantime I need to look after the bumblebee we found yestersay
04:33 schestowitz-TR; probably his last day alive today
04:34 schestowitz-TR; we nurture but not nourish it, it cannot fly anymore
04:34 schestowitz-TR; it's the first time we find an insect in such a state on the kitchen floor
04:34 schestowitz-TR; and rianne loves bees
04:34 schestowitz-TR; this one is huge
04:36 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure how to treat the solitary bees. Maybe honeywater and reasonably
04:36 Techrights-sec; temperatures; they are not supposed to be out during the winter;
04:40 schestowitz-TR; maybe the unusually low temps are at fault
04:40 schestowitz-TR; it was snowing that morning or the one before
04:40 schestowitz-TR; anyway, i told rianne it's a rare chane to get close to them
04:40 schestowitz-TR; without the risk of getting stung
04:40 schestowitz-TR; othrwise the only pets we have are fish
04:40 Techrights-sec; Fish are calming
04:40 schestowitz-TR; thankfully we don't travel (for years), as that would require
04:40 schestowitz-TR; asking neighbours for help
04:40 schestowitz-TR; and the people who moved in next door feel more like squatters
04:40 schestowitz-TR; than residents
04:40 schestowitz-TR; it's like 5 south asian people sharing one home
04:41 schestowitz-TR; converted the living room too into a bedroom
04:41 schestowitz-TR; with clothes hanging there to the front window
04:46 Techrights-sec; :/
04:46 Techrights-sec; The stereotype is 12 to an appartment all working illegally
04:47 schestowitz-TR; we put a bid on that house, but it seemed it remained unsold
04:47 schestowitz-TR; and the owner put some rather 'unsavoury' tennants there
04:47 schestowitz-TR; compensation with quantity for the lack of quality so to speak
04:47 schestowitz-TR; maybe 150 per head per month
04:47 Techrights-sec; One thing that has worsened recently is comanies and governments misusing
04:47 Techrights-sec; twitter in place of official channels
04:50 schestowitz-TR; speaking of twitter
04:50 schestowitz-TR; it has not been a month since I left
04:50 schestowitz-TR; yesterday I checked anaalystics
04:50 schestowitz-TR; it shows that not there are 400-800 daily impressions
04:50 schestowitz-TR; that's for nearly 1 milliuon tweets
04:50 schestowitz-TR; so on a daily basis maybe 1 in 2000 would be viewed or scrolled throuhg
04:50 schestowitz-TR; it's not clear what twitter actually counts of how
04:50 schestowitz-TR; so you can see the poor return on effort
04:50 schestowitz-TR; once you stop adding new things you see the lack of value
04:50 schestowitz-TR; of the older stuff
04:50 schestowitz-TR; this inclues the visiblity of replies of mine to accounts of politicians,
04:50 schestowitz-TR; Wikileaks, etc.
04:51 Techrights-sec; ack
04:51 Techrights-sec; so the archive is doing some good then
04:52 schestowitz-TR; barely. those are small numbersa.
04:52 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile joindiaspora is dead asnd they say it can take "months" before I can migrate all
04:52 schestowitz-TR; the data from it to another instance of diaspora
04:52 schestowitz-TR; even just for preservation's sake (the URLs would remain broken regardless)
04:52 schestowitz-TR; at least with IRC it is static and remains online for decades
04:52 schestowitz-TR; inc. the IRC logs I published 14 years ago
04:53 Techrights-sec; social control media is too valuable to large corporations and the politicians
04:53 Techrights-sec; they own for it to be left to die, though it should be
04:55 schestowitz-TR; this too shall pass
04:55 schestowitz-TR; it's just a matter of how much longer it has left to live
04:55 schestowitz-TR; AND what will be replacing it
04:55 schestowitz-TR; I no longer think video is the next social control media
04:55 schestowitz-TR; seeing what happened to gulagtube and vimeo
04:55 schestowitz-TR; they waited and waited
04:55 schestowitz-TR; and netflix doubled the price
04:55 schestowitz-TR; i think spitify manager to swing into profits
04:55 schestowitz-TR; but the effect of the recent exodus remains to be seen
04:55 schestowitz-TR; they tried to enter the podcast "bizniz"
04:55 schestowitz-TR; and got burned by attracting cranks
04:56 Techrights-sec; they appear to see video only as a vehicle for advertising and clicks, though
04:56 Techrights-sec; others exploit for disinformation and propaganda too
04:56 Techrights-sec; yes, cranks are common on video plaforms
04:57 schestowitz-TR; people will still be "online"
04:57 schestowitz-TR; but I really don't know what they do "online"
04:57 schestowitz-TR; they used to use RSS feeds a lot more
04:58 schestowitz-TR; RSS culture is still beinmg clobbered
04:58 schestowitz-TR; Gulag and social control media are among the culprits here
04:58 schestowitz-TR; Gulag Noise is becoming more and more noise
04:58 schestowitz-TR; GIGO
04:58 Techrights-sec; online means "apps" these days, which is just mutilated browser going to
04:58 Techrights-sec; a javascript laden page running an unsigned, unautenticated program on the
04:58 Techrights-sec; machine via the browser;
04:59 schestowitz-TR; well, that's too bad then
04:59 schestowitz-TR; because it's neither sustainable nor productive
04:59 schestowitz-TR; but thena again they love their population powerless
05:00 Techrights-sec; it has been kept afloat artificially so far
05:01 schestowitz-TR; just like the webspam known as linux.com
05:01 schestowitz-TR; with some shadowy "editor" (perlow now, used to be spamnil for a year)
05:01 schestowitz-TR; I wait to see more recent info on LF
05:01 schestowitz-TR; esp. post-lockdowns
05:01 schestowitz-TR; when they lost a ton of "events" money
05:01 Techrights-sec; many key domains have been ruined that way

05:03 Techrights-sec; ack
05:06 schestowitz-TR; there is a chain
05:06 schestowitz-TR; oligarchs > banks > corporations > executives > workers > "plebs"
05:06 schestowitz-TR; when the press is a corporation
05:06 schestowitz-TR; it then becomes inevitable that it'll oinly be operaable
05:06 schestowitz-TR; as long as that enjoys consent from the "angels" [sic]
05:07 Techrights-sec; hiearchy
05:07 Techrights-sec; that is also about control and not about launching a successful business
05:08 schestowitz-TR; biden is increasing the bailo^H^Hdefence budget
05:08 schestowitz-TR; because the economy is doing so well
05:09 Techrights-sec; Once Russia drops M$ the rest of the world will still be using it, so that
05:09 Techrights-sec; will be the worst of all possible outcomes for Biden due to the unsuitability
05:09 Techrights-sec; of M$ for services and ifnrastructure\
05:11 schestowitz-TR; a third wave of cancel RMS (epstein, then isms) could be formed around russophobic rhetoric
05:11 schestowitz-TR; and the notion of loyalty to the hegemony
05:11 schestowitz-TR; but that's just speculation at this stage

13:55 schestowitz-TR; need to think of new publication strategy for patent matters with emphasis on Eirope and on EPO
13:55 schestowitz-TR; I do not know one
13:55 schestowitz-TR; the weekly summarises become a tad repetitive
13:55 schestowitz-TR; and it goes like this:
13:55 schestowitz-TR; 2010 and prior: lots of good journalism on the subject
13:55 schestowitz-TR; added to daily links or forming the basis for original Techrights tories
13:55 schestowitz-TR; incidentally lots of it from EFF (!)
13:55 schestowitz-TR; not anymore\
13:55 schestowitz-TR; then I did lots of rebutting in social control media
13:55 schestowitz-TR; when it still matters
13:55 schestowitz-TR; last year I started doing likes of [Ed:] in daily links
13:55 schestowitz-TR; the downside was, w were linking and giving traffic to lots of lies
13:56 schestowitz-TR; so this year it was videos
13:56 Techrights-sec; Probably best /not/ to link to crap.
13:56 Techrights-sec; No matter how tempting it is to try to deride it, too many people will get the
13:56 Techrights-sec; wrong interpretation of the crap.
13:57 schestowitz-TR; we need to think of a strategy
13:57 schestowitz-TR; the upside of videos is, no URL is visible for people to find the lie
13:57 schestowitz-TR; and I can focus on how stupid those things are
13:57 schestowitz-TR; without repeating the lies on the screen
13:57 schestowitz-TR; I'm at a loss
13:58 schestowitz-TR; I don't know how to effectivel;y respond anymore
13:58 schestowitz-TR; zoobab is still wasting a lot of time "retweeting" things
13:58 schestowitz-TR; even teh flasehoods
13:58 schestowitz-TR; and then he gets depressed by them
13:58 schestowitz-TR; demoralised
14:00 Techrights-sec; reaching out by other TR members to their respective national news services,
14:00 Techrights-sec; might help a tiny amount but the news "services" seem fooled by social control
14:00 Techrights-sec; media instead and might be impervious to authentic sources soon
14:00 Techrights-sec; retweeting is a waste of time;
14:00 schestowitz-TR; I think today's long video will be the last in this series
14:00 schestowitz-TR; we need to alter approach
14:00 schestowitz-TR; at the very least because we've very well established the point that
14:00 schestowitz-TR; 1) gulag noise sucks and
14:00 schestowitz-TR; 2) there's virtually NO coverage on these issues
14:00 schestowitz-TR; today I saw one good article in Nature
14:00 schestowitz-TR; It was about COVID patent waiver
14:00 schestowitz-TR; at least it was correctytly framed
14:00 schestowitz-TR; but these sorts of articles are rare
14:02 schestowitz-TR; if you can come up with an effective strategt, it would help much much more
14:02 schestowitz-TR; than me hitting the wall
14:02 schestowitz-TR; there is not much material to go by
14:02 schestowitz-TR; with libreplanet I can use opther people's well-research presentation
14:02 schestowitz-TR; and give them some exposure
14:02 schestowitz-TR; with patents it's harder
14:02 schestowitz-TR; as most patent events are "ciercle-jerks"
14:02 Techrights-sec; the patent "events" I have seen are based fully on lies and untruths,
14:02 Techrights-sec; that is an real problem, they receive no penalty for lying, rather are
14:02 Techrights-sec; rewarded financially for it
14:04 schestowitz-TR; so how do we respond?
14:04 schestowitz-TR; inciudentally, if you type mtechrights into gulag search it tries to complete with upc
14:04 schestowitz-TR; so clearly some people look for upc info and narrow it down by domain/;source
14:04 Techrights-sec; TR shows up rather well in some areas, Wikipedia is a place which needs
14:04 Techrights-sec; repair however
14:06 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia can go f* itself
14:06 schestowitz-TR; I won't spend a minute trying to fix somethng which is well broken
14:06 schestowitz-TR; and is, by its very own nature, easy toi re-=break
14:06 schestowitz-TR; esp. by those with the financial means
14:06 schestowitz-TR; like GAFAM-OSI
14:07 Techrights-sec; Loss of EFF, OSI, and LF among others are a sore blow to software freedom
14:07 Techrights-sec; It'd be worlds better if even one of those were pulling their own weight.
14:10 schestowitz-TR; I think we need to re-evaluate the way we respond to those threats
14:10 schestowitz-TR; social control media is "good riddance"
14:10 schestowitz-TR; it was not effective and makkjes it very easy to take things out
14:10 schestowitz-TR; of context
14:10 schestowitz-TR; their advanbtage is that they have money and mouths
14:10 schestowitz-TR; many liars and budget to lob it over into gulag news
14:10 schestowitz-TR; through lexology, mondaq etc.
14:10 schestowitz-TR; their bribed media hides the very existence of an epo union
14:10 schestowitz-TR; it is deliberate
14:14 Techrights-sec; unfortunately
14:15 schestowitz-TR; maybe daily videos that are shorter?
14:15 schestowitz-TR; teh downside is that clustering of related topics is harder this way
14:15 schestowitz-TR; which means itr becomes a little less organsed
15:11 Techrights-sec; shorter videos might help a lot
15:12 schestowitz-TR; ok, today's will be the last of ikts kid
15:12 schestowitz-TR; kind
15:12 schestowitz-TR; I will wrap things up and ponder how else to approach this
15:35 schestowitz-TR; I think you will like the video I added from libreplanet
15:35 schestowitz-TR; it is 5 minutes long
15:35 schestowitz-TR; I've also just deposited my draft, a first and crude one, if you want to have a look
15:55 Techrights-sec; ack
15:55 Techrights-sec; looked at the backup files: 98GB of video on TR
15:55 Techrights-sec; Maybe it would be appropriate for the members of SUEPO to take a serious look
15:55 Techrights-sec; at the relevant Wikipedia entries?
15:56 schestowitz-TR; I think it is morally wrong to send people to 'correct' wikipedia
15:56 schestowitz-TR; the way OSI tried to do
15:56 schestowitz-TR; and I am sure they are aware of the issues and the union can do that on its
15:57 schestowitz-TR; own
15:57 schestowitz-TR; they can wrsele in the mud with the EPO's PR pigs
15:57 Techrights-sec; Wikipedia is all about, and only about, edit wars most unfortunately.
15:57 Techrights-sec; It would be wrong, maybe, to publish an article, but since you are corresponding
15:57 Techrights-sec; with people there, you night bring the situation to their attention and let
15:57 Techrights-sec; them decide if or how to deal with it.
15:58 schestowitz-TR; I think it would be inappropriate for me
15:58 schestowitz-TR; as that would reinforce what I complain about
15:58 schestowitz-TR; like Microsoft bribing 'experts' to 'correct' wikipedia
16:11 schestowitz-TR; This talk is about Haven. For more information see Havens site at havenweb.org. http://techrights.org/2022/04/03/matthew-wise-o
16:11 schestowitz-TR; n-haven/

16:42 Techrights-sec; checking
16:42 Techrights-sec; no text?
16:42 schestowitz-TR; the original from FSF said even less than I did
16:51 Techrights-sec; ack
16:51 Techrights-sec; excellent
16:51 schestowitz-TR; i have just confgured the new laptops for recording
16:51 schestowitz-TR; two cameras
16:51 schestowitz-TR; and noisetorch helping
16:51 schestowitz-TR; the passage of files between laptops is fast
17:22 Techrights-sec; Dongarra's award was not featured prominently at all in the NY Times, not even
17:22 Techrights-sec; in the relevant section. They dodged around the licensings too. The ACM
17:22 Techrights-sec; writeup poiunts out prominently that it is an Open Source library.
17:23 schestowitz-TR; i've just published the first video from the new machine
17:23 schestowitz-TR; recorded before noisetorch was added
17:34 Techrights-sec; ack
18:36 Techrights-sec; lots of hung cron jobs in the RPi.
18:36 Techrights-sec; $ ps -p $(pgrep -d , cron) -o pid,start,args | sort -k2,2r -k3,3n -k1,1
19:32 schestowitz-TR; I am trying to get FM
19:32 schestowitz-TR; involved in EPO scandal coverage
19:32 schestowitz-TR; after he had contacted me we found some commonalities
19:32 schestowitz-TR; and also he can help against UPC
19:32 schestowitz-TR; but maybe I'm too optimistic
19:32 Techrights-sec; I hope he can contribute to coverage, it is central to patents in Europe
19:32 Techrights-sec; and UPC is a scam and a danger to software /users/ everywhere.
19:32 schestowitz-TR; software is justa tiny portion of the many issues
19:32 schestowitz-TR; it's a bundle of wishlists
19:47 *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
19:53 Techrights-sec; The media has been allowed to misinform and distract the public by wrongly
19:53 Techrights-sec; portraying software patents (when they were covered at all) as a developer
19:53 Techrights-sec; issue. They are not. They govern usage, thus has nothing to do with copyright,
19:53 Techrights-sec; and affect /end users/.

19:59 Techrights-sec; I focus myopically on the software :/
20:01 schestowitz-TR; do you have something to say about "protestware"?
20:01 schestowitz-TR; I did a video, doing text now
20:07 Techrights-sec; no, protestware is counterproductive
