04:23 schestowitz-TR; I mentioned this the other

04:23 schestowitz-TR; day in IRCF

04:23 schestowitz-TR; Simon Sharwood

04:23 schestowitz-TR; microsoft troll/provocateur

04:23 schestowitz-TR; I confronted him in twitter years ago

04:23 schestowitz-TR; this is not a new tactic

04:24 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

04:24 schestowitz-TR; "FOSS should block Russia+China" -> FOSS should refuse to be widely adopted

04:24 schestowitz-TR; or FOSS should become Fieve Eyes

04:24 schestowitz-TR; anyway...

04:26 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@freenode-rmogvn.g0d7.dtdf.mc4289.IP) has joined #boycottnovell

04:26 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@auubhxtweg528.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

04:34 schestowitz-TR; it then becomes shit like, "china evil, us moral, even when invading countries for oil"

04:34 schestowitz-TR; and rejecting bug reports for actual bugs because you don't agree with politics of the submitters

04:34 schestowitz-TR; companies stop assessing the actual licence and instead focus on politics, hire politicians

04:34 schestowitz-TR; and dropouts/flunkies, who rely on talented volunteers and "efficient plagiarism" such as shithub

04:34 schestowitz-TR; I bet that ethical [sic] bs uses github despite being proiprietary anjd connected to ICE

04:37 schestowitz; "When I was a kid it was obviously fun to dunk on Bill Gates because he was rich and Windows was bad, and then I got older and thought that was wrong because tbh all software is bad, but now I wish we'd done it harder so Elon would feel more ashamed"

04:38 schestowitz; mjg now insinuating BS to whiten bill

04:38 schestowitz; while working for bill, via another company

04:42 schestowitz-TR; throwing metaphorical swrnches into FOSS is a very sharwood thing

04:42 schestowitz-TR; to rile up and divide communities

04:42 schestowitz-TR; I'd say, ignore, move on

04:42 schestowitz-TR; i don't like the comments in SN


7 AM, January 5

07:53 schestowitz-TR; many people look for info on the microsoft layoffs

07:53 schestowitz-TR; OTA


8 AM, January 5

08:51 schestowitz-TR; draft layoffs

09:55 schestowitz-TR; xmas deaths: 2014-19: 11.5k

09:55 schestowitz-TR; 2022: 14.5k

09:55 schestowitz-TR; don't worry, just 3k more dead than before.... in one week

09:55 schestowitz-TR; nobody will notice, merry xmas!

09:55 techrightssec2; checking

09:55 techrightssec2; There's also the matter of the NDAs and non-disparagement clauses in separation

09:55 techrightssec2; contracts which further suppress public knowledge of what is really going on

09:55 techrightssec2; there in the hive. So until a court rules on the legality of such clauses

09:55 techrightssec2; "former" microsofters are unlikely talk even if they wanted to. Unfortunately

09:55 techrightssec2; too few will want to, due to the cult-like nature of the business and the

09:55 techrightssec2; cult-like devotion required even in the earliest stages of their hiring process.

10:15 schestowitz-TR; it's very upsetting

10:15 schestowitz-TR; I don't plan to fly or get ill

10:15 schestowitz-TR; the hospitals and ambulances aren't there

10:29 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

10:29 techrightssec2; The ambulances and hospitals have been defunded and understaffed, and the

10:29 techrightssec2; strikes for getting appropriate staffing levels and decent working conditions

10:29 techrightssec2; have been spun in the media as simply a demand for higher wages.

10:29 schestowitz-TR; air travel is very dangerous because if you get ill you miss the flight back

10:29 schestowitz-TR; and in the past it wasn't like that

10:29 schestowitz-TR; some people boarded the plane with flu/cold

12:12 schestowitz-TR; being in front page of linuxtoday and lxer at the same time has no real impact on TR traffic, but I
