11:20 schestowitz-TR; if you check gemini stats, you will see yesterdat the microsoft layoffs post was read a lotg
11:20 schestowitz-TR; *lot
11:20 schestowitz-TR; that would lower morale in the company
11:21 schestowitz-TR; staff retention
11:21 techrightssec2; Checking
11:21 techrightssec2; Wow. That's a high count.
11:22 schestowitz-TR; i checked because I saw high # of video requests this morning
11:22 schestowitz-TR; anyway, everything is fine
11:22 schestowitz-TR; irc a bit noisy today
11:22 schestowitz-TR; noisy, not busy
11:22 techrightssec2; :/
11:28 schestowitz-TR; btw, i have not changed the cron job yey
11:28 schestowitz-TR; you wanted to make an adjustment around xmas
11:28 techrightssec2; ack
11:28 techrightssec2; There is a work-around in place but work-arounds build up as technical debt.
11:29 schestowitz-TR; anyway, we were a thorn on msft's side this week
11:29 schestowitz-TR; that alone is good
11:29 schestowitz-TR; i'll keep an even closer eye
11:29 schestowitz-TR; the "news" will only "pick this up" when there's no choice but to do so
11:30 schestowitz-TR; i'll slow down the series a bit, or split long stuff
11:34 techrightssec2; There has been little coverage of m$ plagiarism of copyrighted code via their
11:34 techrightssec2; "OpenAI" scam Copilot. The DMCA, which they have abused extensively both
11:34 techrightssec2; directly and via their marketing arm the BSA, has provisions for severe
11:34 techrightssec2; penalties for their stripping of both licenses and attribution from the code
11:34 techrightssec2; they are plagiarizing.
11:34 techrightssec2; ^ topic ?
11:36 schestowitz-TR; i still have thousands of lines in notes about copilot and stuff
11:36 schestowitz-TR; aside from "hey hi" hype and view from ebuzz central i think it's not the right time
11:36 schestowitz-TR; right now to continue with that series
11:36 schestowitz-TR; i will focus on epo and the openwashing first
11:36 schestowitz-TR; i still have thousands of lines in notes about copilot and stuff

11:36 schestowitz-TR; right now to continue with that series
11:36 schestowitz-TR; i will focus on epo and the openwashing first
11:37 techrightssec2; ok
11:37 techrightssec2; maybe just add to the notes
11:37 schestowitz-TR; i was JUST about to add that to me NOTES, yes!
11:38 techrightssec2; EPO and sw patents are always top priority so maybe there is a sw patent
11:38 techrightssec2; aspect to their misbehavior. The stripping of licenses affects sw patent
11:38 techrightssec2; coverage since some license address sw patents and some don't. Then there
11:38 techrightssec2; is the question of what kind of sw patent scams "OpenAI" itself is trying to
11:38 techrightssec2; pull?
11:39 schestowitz-TR; when I stopped tracking news aboutt epo about 11 months ago the quality of coverage was alreadyveru poor
11:39 schestowitz-TR; so it's hard to cover, there's no input worthwhile anymore
11:39 schestowitz-TR; some of the better patnt blogs became inactive
11:39 schestowitz-TR; so mondaq, lexology etc. with iam dominated gulagnoise... I quit even checking

11:43 techrightssec2; Google is corrupt on that topic. I wonder how much of that is due to a conflict
11:43 techrightssec2; of interest. If the "former" microsofters there in Google's managment are
11:43 techrightssec2; having the rankign algorithms tweaked to promote the fraud sites because
11:43 techrightssec2; they are singing the tune the microsofters wish the public to hear?
11:44 schestowitz-TR; yes, that did cross my mind before
11:51 schestowitz-TR; my latest video probably does a better job explaining
11:51 schestowitz-TR; but then again it's easier to do after writing then before
11:51 schestowitz-TR; either way, there is a pile-up of more scandals
11:51 schestowitz-TR; some blurted out in irc today
11:51 schestowitz-TR; as there was trolling and provocation
11:51 schestowitz-TR; and spin
11:51 schestowitz-TR; makes one wonder if microsoft has a hidden hand in all this
12:17 techrightssec2; https://www.thewrap.com/the-view-carly-fiorina-abortion-debate-texas-law/
12:17 techrightssec2; She's still trolling and imho getting press unwarranted by her trail of
12:17 techrightssec2; failures including her infamous destruction of HP
12:17 techrightssec2; The press however tries to play public displeasure with her as misogyny rather
12:17 techrightssec2; that as something earned through her demonstrated combination of
12:17 techrightssec2; malice and incompetence.
12:17 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.thewrap.com | 'The View': Carly Fiorina Says 'Dirty Little Secret' Is 'Neither Side' of Abortion Debate Want Issue Resolved
12:18 schestowitz-TR; i need to, at long last, remember how to spell her first name
12:29 techrightssec2; https://time.com/3845767/carly-fiorina-hp/
12:29 techrightssec2; She was fired by the board after tearing the company to sheds
12:29 techrightssec2; shreds
12:29 techrightssec2; There were a lot of articles about it at the time but they all seem to be
12:29 techrightssec2; lost, buried, or deleted. Most of what remains appears feeble attempts atr
12:29 techrightssec2; whitewashing her misadventure as head of HP

12:29 techrightssec2; which also try to hide her malice and incompetence behind gender issues
12:32 schestowitz-TR; battistelli and epo control the media and wikipedia
12:32 schestowitz-TR; so one way or another money changes memories on www
12:32 schestowitz-TR; harder when you distribute actual books of magazines
12:32 schestowitz-TR; you cannot edit them post-hoc
12:32 schestowitz-TR; anyway, one day the wiki pages in TR and articles about novell will
12:32 schestowitz-TR; be a lot of what's left in www and beyond
12:32 schestowitz-TR; the shill sites they had have mostly gone under
12:32 schestowitz-TR; hence hovsepian sent his lawyers to me
12:32 schestowitz-TR; he could not find a job
12:33 techrightssec2; Wikipedia has long ago become a corporate marketing and political playground,
12:33 techrightssec2; with very little overlap with empirical facts.
12:33 techrightssec2; Actually the facts are there but only the subset that support specific agendas
12:33 techrightssec2; the rest get purged quite thoroughly from the site, starting with the references
12:34 schestowitz-TR; yes, nat friedman is a recent example
12:34 schestowitz-TR; distancing himself from the serial strangler and then some more
12:34 schestowitz-TR; there are companies that are just serial defacers of wikipedia
12:34 schestowitz-TR; they found a "business model"
12:34 schestowitz-TR; based around vandalism basically
12:34 schestowitz-TR; "legalised" vandalism
12:34 schestowitz-TR; (if iut's for rich people, it is legal... like "lobbying")
12:35 techrightssec2; They have prioritized the money to hire marketeers to camp on specifica pages
12:35 techrightssec2; and topics there at Wikipedia and ensure that competing information goes down
12:35 techrightssec2; the "memory hole".
12:36 schestowitz-TR; the encylopedia anyone can edit -> the encylopedia anyone CAN edit -> the encylopedia mostly the rich edit
12:45 techrightssec2; It's not so much that anyone edit, it is that only certain people have the time
12:45 techrightssec2; to engage in edit wars or camp out on pages. Those that hire marketeer to do\that wear down the legitimate contr
12:45 techrightssec2; ibutors over time. More dangerously, they
12:45 techrightssec2; wear down the editors who try to monitor the situation but end up just letting
12:45 techrightssec2; the situation turn into a shouting match and then side, at least partially, with
12:45 techrightssec2; those who are loud enough or microsoftified enough.

14:13 techrightssec2; Non-disparagement clauses need to go, too, then we will see more from M$ and co.
