09:08 schestowitz-TR; building a DC does not beget profits
09:08 schestowitz-TR; it symbolises an ambition
09:08 schestowitz-TR; mitchel has manwhile taken note of some Microsofgt DCs being mothballed
09:08 schestowitz-TR; remember windows is perishing
09:08 schestowitz-TR; they need something to replace that
09:08 schestowitz-TR; azure has not been financially viable, but like gulag with youtube
09:08 schestowitz-TR; they fudge the numbers to buy time
09:08 schestowitz-TR; in 2022 gulag admitted youtube was not performing well
09:08 schestowitz-TR; I posted about half a dozen link about this in IRC during the weekend
09:08 schestowitz-TR; while I was researching netflix, spotify and, gulagtube
09:08 schestowitz-TR; for microsoft, the "hosting" approach to collecting "rents" is the ambition
09:08 schestowitz-TR; billg is already struggling to sell his "doses"
09:08 schestowitz-TR; and soon half his wealth will be parted with
09:08 schestowitz-TR; in 10-20 years he'll be dead
09:08 Techrights-sec; not it begets control and political influence as well as surveillance
09:08 Techrights-sec; M$ does not have the money to keep them all running, I'd guess they stay
09:08 Techrights-sec; up only where the Pentagon is willing to pay for data
09:12 schestowitz-TR; this regime is largely insolvent
09:12 schestowitz-TR; after 2008 the debt was a lot smaller than now
09:12 schestowitz-TR; it's shooting up, out of control (see cumulative debt charts)
09:12 schestowitz-TR; and now the general population feels that in inflation, too
09:12 schestowitz-TR; all that graft will be harder to justify
09:12 schestowitz-TR; when the population is not preoccupied with attacking one another
09:12 schestowitz-TR; china has also been waiting patiently
09:12 schestowitz-TR; now it commands the markets
09:12 schestowitz-TR; like the effect of beijing lockdowns
09:12 schestowitz-TR; it's good they will adopt gnu/linux, but I don't think
09:12 schestowitz-TR; they will contribute anything, or as much ss Europe does
09:12 schestowitz-TR; I think "Linux" will be missing the point
09:12 schestowitz-TR; we're already there with Android
09:12 schestowitz-TR; but look how people use Android
09:13 Techrights-sec; The West is very poor at understanding the bility to scheme in the long term
09:13 Techrights-sec; in general, not just in the context of Russia, China, and Islam.
09:13 Techrights-sec; Or how Android uses people, rather. And the fact that it's more or less
09:13 Techrights-sec; closed source in practice despite being ostensibly open source. It's
09:13 Techrights-sec; a pervasive problem which I hope is no longer growing. Look at BigBlueButton
09:13 Techrights-sec; which is ostensibly FOSS but in practice a closed blob.
09:18 schestowitz-TR; many things we wrote over the years aged well wrt openweasing
09:18 schestowitz-TR; afaik I coined the term
09:18 schestowitz-TR; and it's not just android, also "chrome" (ium, vscodium...)
09:18 schestowitz-TR; I don't know BBB well enough, we deployed it ages ago
09:18 schestowitz-TR; rigth now rianne has 3 computer and 3 (three!) phones to keep up
09:18 schestowitz-TR; because all the accounts are all over the place, even VPNs
09:18 schestowitz-TR; it's mad1
09:18 schestowitz-TR; *!
09:18 schestowitz-TR; and jabber was silently killed
09:18 schestowitz-TR; by idiots
09:18 schestowitz-TR; it used OpenLDAP
09:18 schestowitz-TR; this is a symptom of a problem previously alluded to by your train of thought
09:18 schestowitz-TR; namely, the short term thinking in the west
09:18 schestowitz-TR; impulsive buying
09:18 schestowitz-TR; impluses everywhere
09:18 schestowitz-TR; no plans for 10-20 years down the line
09:18 schestowitz-TR; "God help us"... "thoughts and prayers"
09:18 schestowitz-TR; not to even comment on "Inshaallah"
09:18 schestowitz-TR; that's just nihilism
09:18 schestowitz-TR; but a lot of what exists now will die soon
09:18 schestowitz-TR; like Goolgle+
09:18 schestowitz-TR; and JoinDiaspora
09:18 schestowitz-TR; and Google Hangouts
09:18 schestowitz-TR; yes, they killed that too
09:18 schestowitz-TR; they still try to figure out how to 'monetise' other people's chats
09:19 Techrights-sec; yesm that is good
09:19 Techrights-sec; inaction in face of hostile opponents who have long term plans which exploit
09:19 Techrights-sec; that inaction
09:20 schestowitz-TR; reducing dependence on fossil fuel is a start
09:20 schestowitz-TR; not just "Russian gas"
09:21 Techrights-sec; not just that but they work against and agitate against all forms of open
09:21 Techrights-sec; standards and general interoperability.
09:21 Techrights-sec; I refuse to forgive Digg for taking side against open standards at a time
09:21 Techrights-sec; when Digg was at its peak popularity. Digg is gone but the damage it helped
09:21 Techrights-sec; do is not.
09:23 schestowitz-TR; in history timelines for the www many forget or leave out complely digg.com
09:23 schestowitz-TR; though it peaked for about 2 years
09:23 schestowitz-TR; I don't suppose Slashdot is regarded as much, either
09:23 schestowitz-TR; the life cycle of many sites is like this
09:23 schestowitz-TR; phoronix turned 18 yesterday
09:23 schestowitz-TR; today in shitter (twitter) I saw a microsofter linking to my posts about phoronix selling out
09:23 schestowitz-TR; not sure what to make of that...
09:32 Techrights-sec; slashdot died after a series of severe blows, each one successively worse
09:32 Techrights-sec; that the previous. Those were the repeated sales. It's mostly a spam site
09:32 Techrights-sec; with spam comments nowadays, the domain is still in use though even if only
09:32 Techrights-sec; [for spam
09:32 Techrights-sec; not sure, M$ is alwaus malevolent, so they certainly did not mean well by
09:32 Techrights-sec; lining, in any case.
11:55 schestowitz-TR; I've just watched some "the linux gamer"
11:55 schestowitz-TR; videos, he made a new channel with his girlfriend
11:55 schestowitz-TR; I think (guess) some youtuber don't see their future
11:55 schestowitz-TR; there, judging by recent (years old) trends
11:55 schestowitz-TR; I feel bad for those who dropped out of college to do
11:55 schestowitz-TR; their youtube 'career'
11:55 schestowitz-TR; I explained video hosting to rianne yesterday
11:55 schestowitz-TR; as she tends to assume youtube is always
11:55 schestowitz-TR; "just there"...
11:55 schestowitz-TR; far too many people weree enticed by the 'free'
11:55 schestowitz-TR; with russian energy being cut, maybe Microsoft DCs can stop up and heat up the homes
11:55 schestowitz-TR; the DCs will burn lumber and oxygen
11:55 schestowitz-TR; then deliver what's left of the combustion
11:55 schestowitz-TR; "data processing"
11:55 schestowitz-TR; LF insists that Microsoft burning all this energy is "green" (bribed-for PR)
11:55 schestowitz-TR; and the other day christine hall promotes the DC openwashing initiative of
11:55 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft after LF had taken onboard
11:55 schestowitz-TR; she's so deep in LF pockets now that she would even participate in
11:56 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft openwashing
11:56 schestowitz-TR; sorry, this I cannot accept
11:56 schestowitz-TR; better retire like miss jones

12:00 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-restofworld.org | Inside the risky world of Migrant TikTok - Rest of World
12:02 Techrights-sec; yep she is undoing her past work and her past (good) reputation
12:02 Techrights-sec; smuggling and human trafficking is mediated via tiktok and facebook, they are
12:02 Techrights-sec; complicite in those crimes as well as the incidental loss of life resulting
12:02 Techrights-sec; from the process.
12:34 schestowitz-TR; draft
12:34 schestowitz-TR; hardshly worded or OK?
12:35 Techrights-sec; checking
12:35 Techrights-sec; ok, as long as the assertions are well-documented
12:35 Techrights-sec; might want to mention (along with the links) that they /are/ well-documented
12:35 schestowitz-TR; his response to me was a long non-denial
12:37 Techrights-sec; right but TR does have pages backing up the assertions still and those can
12:37 Techrights-sec; be linked to. Otherwise, it might be softened, but only slightly.
12:37 schestowitz-TR; therea<re 4 links there
12:42 Techrights-sec; ack
12:43 Techrights-sec; the last one is clearly labeled
12:43 Techrights-sec; yes
12:43 Techrights-sec; correct, but repetition / reminders are necessary : memories are short and new
12:43 Techrights-sec; people do show up and arrive in the middle of the saga
12:44 schestowitz-TR; this one I am quite certain about
12:45 schestowitz-TR; and he did have his window for response
12:45 schestowitz-TR; I don't publish things I might regret or unpublish at a later point
12:45 schestowitz-TR; there was an incentive for me to protect and send him traffic
12:45 schestowitz-TR; but I could no longer carry on
12:45 schestowitz-TR; this crate is a pandor'a box
12:45 schestowitz-TR; IU'm susprised he keeps publishing it
12:45 schestowitz-TR; some people's greatest weakness is a lack of reluctrance to show off
12:45 schestowitz-TR; it can become self-exposing if not incriminating
12:45 schestowitz-TR; many youtubers are like that
12:47 schestowitz-TR; oh, btw, gardiner insinuated that some criticiswm of mozills is "conspiracy theories"
12:47 schestowitz-TR; though he said conceded that some of it is legitimate
12:48 schestowitz-TR; I did not see any cracks speaking about mozilla
12:48 schestowitz-TR; then again, maybe I don't check shitpost sites like reddit
12:48 Techrights-sec; I've been ignoring Gardiner lately. He has gone out of his way to burn his
12:48 Techrights-sec; remaining credibility.
12:51 schestowitz-TR; he started a channel with his g/f emily (after the house move) and that channel is absolutely garbage
12:51 schestowitz-TR; but I am judging only by the first video there, which got the most views
12:52 schestowitz-TR; I thought of him because
12:52 schestowitz-TR; 1) the showoff thing (making a video about getting a huge house with BTC... where from? while turning the channelk into valvevi
12:52 schestowitz-TR; lla)
12:52 schestowitz-TR; 2) I was checking that fiefox video while shaving this morning
12:52 schestowitz-TR; *valveville
12:52 schestowitz-TR; then making a joke video about selling out
12:52 schestowitz-TR; then going mostly silent, with the odd valve video or just nothing
12:54 Techrights-sec; Yes, where from?
12:54 Techrights-sec; And changing the name of his channel
12:54 Techrights-sec; mostly by removing "Linux" from the title.
12:54 Techrights-sec; Lunduke also dropped FOSS / Linux topics completely, as well.
12:54 Techrights-sec; yes
12:56 schestowitz-TR; it's not just gardiner btw
12:56 schestowitz-TR; jason evangelho is now back... as the thunderbird blogger
12:56 schestowitz-TR; but his valve shilling blog shut abruptly
12:56 schestowitz-TR; so you know some of these "influencers" were feeding off a palm directly and indiurectly
12:56 schestowitz-TR; valve = former microsofter makes a gaming/drm company
12:56 schestowitz-TR; his new firefox video mentions "Linux" not even once
12:56 schestowitz-TR; and showers EDGE with some praises
12:56 schestowitz-TR; claims it has 20% of the market if I got this right (which is a lie)
12:56 schestowitz-TR; and says Gogle is "AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE WORSE" than Microsoft in the 1990s antitrust days
12:56 schestowitz-TR; in terms of market power
12:56 schestowitz-TR; which is a phony BS
12:57 Techrights-sec; apropos data centers, M$ is now attacking Lithuania and pressing to reduce

12:58 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.lrt.lt | Minister invites Microsoft to expand in Lithuania - LRT
12:58 schestowitz-TR; an act of treason
12:59 Techrights-sec; basically, and it's coming from a minister so that charge would be highly
12:59 Techrights-sec; appicable
13:00 schestowitz-TR; it is a very corrupt country; if they could pocket Munich, this is just dress rehearsal
13:00 schestowitz-TR; but this is a political problem
13:00 schestowitz-TR; from a cult, not a company
13:00 schestowitz-TR; but an arm of the "security state"
13:00 schestowitz-TR; putin would approve of course
13:00 schestowitz-TR; microsoft is swiss... cheese
13:08 Techrights-sec; Germany is highly corrupt, at least in regards to ICT
13:08 schestowitz-TR; ok, to twist this for better morale
13:08 schestowitz-TR; their aspirations in east europe may show thewy lose a lot of ground where the nations are richer
13:08 schestowitz-TR; in the same way FB tried to get into china and africa
13:08 schestowitz-TR; to hide th rapid loss of active users
13:08 schestowitz-TR; or gulag with all sorts of dying disservices
13:08 schestowitz-TR; inc. their clown efforts, which lose a ton of money
13:10 schestowitz-TR; germany pride and shitty press helps cover up what's happening
13:10 schestowitz-TR; inc. on lesser technical issues
13:10 schestowitz-TR; they self-gag
13:10 Techrights-sec; it's the coverups which enable it to continue
13:10 Techrights-sec; it's probably also related to their turning a blind eye to EPO corruption and
13:10 Techrights-sec; illegal activities
13:11 schestowitz-TR; we did a 20-part series on germany complicity
13:11 schestowitz-TR; and compared that to the immigration crisis
13:11 schestowitz-TR; and how the media would not play ball
13:11 schestowitz-TR; do you want the link?
13:12 Techrights-sec; I recall the contents, more or less, but I am wondering about the best way
13:12 Techrights-sec; to occasionally revisit open cases like that

13:31 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> The real alternative to Clownflare is stuff like Varnish. Ankush Das names only clown computing/outsourcing -- a false dichotomy
13:31 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> These alternatives are also proprietary and harmful to the Web https://linuxhandbook.com/cloudflare-alternati
13:32 schestowitz-TR; ves/
13:32 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://linuxhandbook.com/cloudflare-alternati/ )
13:35 Techrights-sec; yes
13:35 Techrights-sec; Varnish, and to certain extent Squid or Nginx can be a front end for heavily
13:35 Techrights-sec; visited sites. However, DDoS based on bandwidth can only be limited by the
13:35 Techrights-sec; network providers, AFAIK. DDoS based on targeting the backend of a service
13:35 Techrights-sec; needs a third approach.
13:38 schestowitz-TR; there's software and even self-hosted appliances (bsd/gnu/linux) that can help thwarts bad actors before they even reach the se
13:38 schestowitz-TR; rver, like a firewall
13:38 schestowitz-TR; then the isp is the bottleneck
13:38 schestowitz-TR; but the idea that we should therefore surrender to clownflare, a hostage operation, means the web is already
13:38 schestowitz-TR; not worth having
13:38 schestowitz-TR; because we tolerated back doors and botnets for far too long
13:38 schestowitz-TR; even clownflare is barely coping, it's overclassifying "threats"
13:38 schestowitz-TR; and in many cases demands you run programs because you are presumed a botnet
13:39 Techrights-sec; yes but they don't provide the censorship and surveillance that CloudFlare
13:39 Techrights-sec; enables
13:39 Techrights-sec; presumably accompanied by contributions in kind or monetary
13:39 Techrights-sec; Bill Gates (via M$) has made bad engineering not just acceptable but expected
13:39 Techrights-sec; across the globe
13:39 Techrights-sec; CloudFlare blocks a lot of posts in LinuxQuestions even when nothign
13:39 Techrights-sec; dangerous or even controverisal is provided in either the question or the
13:39 Techrights-sec; answer.
13:39 Techrights-sec; That's just one example.
13:39 schestowitz-TR; bill <3 back doors
13:40 Techrights-sec; yes.
13:42 schestowitz-TR; I think you are mistaking two things, but it's considered correct that Microsoft played ball for NSA around that time
13:56 schestowitz; I remember what you allude to. Also: "Microsoft will carry on pretending that it is ones patriotic duty to support and fund Microsoft, even using bailout money (i.e. the expense of taxpayers)." http://techrights.org/2009/04/10/microsoft-sails-overseas/
13:56 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Microsoft Finds Cost-Cutting Measures: Moves Overseas | Techrights
13:57 schestowitz-TR; (btw, lithuania has very good talent that can be employed for a laughabls salary.. same in Belarus)
13:58 Techrights-sec; the very presence of M$ products on the net is such a liability that it is
13:58 Techrights-sec; 100% incompatible with national defense in even the smallest way.
14:00 schestowitz-TR; Stan Beer (ITwire) recently complained that they then CHARGE you money to fix their own security-failing aftermath
14:00 schestowitz-TR; you might be able to find it as it's about a month ol
14:00 schestowitz-TR; so cleaning up one's own mess is also a business model
14:00 schestowitz-TR; even without selling "up[grades"
14:00 schestowitz-TR; it harms most those who use that crap
14:00 schestowitz-TR; but at a national level that includes taxpayers and implicates personal data likle medical filkes
14:01 Techrights-sec; It's not even cleaning up the mess, just stirring the mess around -- for an
14:01 Techrights-sec; additional fee, but no progress is ever made towards actual cleanup
14:01 schestowitz-TR; some garages work like that
14:04 Techrights-sec; One very irritating aspect is that the public accepts all that.
14:07 schestowitz-TR; no
14:07 schestowitz-TR; the public is unware
14:07 schestowitz-TR; hence not part of the equation
14:07 schestowitz-TR; we can change that
14:07 schestowitz-TR; agitators will always try to just discredit those who are speaking about such matters
14:07 schestowitz-TR; in the way that they do
14:07 schestowitz-TR; because the very mode of thinking represents a threat to the status quo
14:07 schestowitz-TR; such as explaining to people that "encryption" and e2ee is not the same thing
14:07 schestowitz-TR; or clown computing is basically an illegal action, a data breach
14:07 schestowitz-TR; politicians do not seem to understand that or get paid to pretend not to understand the facts
14:08 Techrights-sec; yes, some of that is due also to severe corruption, such as in Germany
14:08 Techrights-sec; not to mention the US
14:12 schestowitz-TR; we need to "keep at it"
14:12 schestowitz-TR; we are doing OK
14:12 schestowitz-TR; the each person you spread the message to there will be some colleagues are are told the same
14:12 schestowitz-TR; to the point where lies cannot sustain themselves
14:12 schestowitz-TR; then they try to compensate for it by spending millions on PR and marketing
14:12 schestowitz-TR; and that's when you know you may be "winning"
14:12 schestowitz-TR; not losing
14:12 schestowitz-TR; because they see no choice other than making a shitstorm of noise
14:12 schestowitz-TR; to regain respect
14:12 schestowitz-TR; and that shitstorm itself can be self-discrediting
14:12 schestowitz-TR; LF, Moz, EFF, OSI, EPO...
14:12 schestowitz-TR; they have deep pockets
14:12 schestowitz-TR; they don't lay down and die
14:12 schestowitz-TR; if you ask actual people NOT shills
14:12 schestowitz-TR; i.e. not the random "username" in WWW
14:12 schestowitz-TR; you quicly see people dislike Microsoft very strongly
14:12 schestowitz-TR; and Microsoft knows it
14:12 schestowitz-TR; they try to perpetuate the idea of being reformed and having gained acceptance
14:12 schestowitz-TR; this is a faked non-existent sentiment
14:14 Techrights-sec; ue also to severe corruption, such as in Germany
14:14 Techrights-sec; not to mention the US
14:14 Techrights-sec; ack
14:14 Techrights-sec; yes but unlike in decades past, they are made to believe that they are alone
14:14 Techrights-sec; and unique in their trouble with M$. Microsofters have long lied to people
14:14 Techrights-sec; about their problems, saying to them that they are the only ones who have the
14:14 Techrights-sec; problem.
14:14 schestowitz-TR; also, spending millions on marketing ("Microsoft loves Linux") in areas where you operate at a LOSS, e.g. GitHub, is not someth
14:14 schestowitz-TR; ing you can carry on doing for many years
14:14 schestowitz-TR; you need to justify that by showing progress (gullible people or profits)
14:14 schestowitz-TR; GitHub, like ClownFlare, is in "honeymoon mode"
14:14 schestowitz-TR; like YouTube for the first 10 years
14:14 schestowitz-TR; when they actually PAID some creators
14:16 Techrights-sec; the ideology behing making everything suck is driven by MBAs mostly
14:16 schestowitz-TR; the "everything sucks" PR is not compelling and it's not free
14:16 schestowitz-TR; they recently did a tonload of articles about "Open Source" security crises
14:17 schestowitz-TR; helped by theor puppet, VMware, among others
14:17 schestowitz-TR; they convinced Zemlin
14:17 schestowitz-TR; but f* this guy :-)
14:17 schestowitz-TR; most people don't even take that prick seriously
14:17 schestowitz-TR; certainly not those who he CLAIMS to speak for
14:19 schestowitz-TR; "everything sucks" is a defence mechanism, proactive
14:19 schestowitz-TR; if I fail, it's OK
14:19 schestowitz-TR; if I don't fail, great
14:19 schestowitz-TR; you win either way
14:19 schestowitz-TR; even for making the worst decisions
14:19 schestowitz-TR; so the strategy is to make Linux seem like a seucity nightmare
14:19 schestowitz-TR; so that staying with Windows or moving to it seems "reasonable"
14:19 schestowitz-TR; they have spent a lot of money on these lies
14:19 schestowitz-TR; and now that so many things have been migrated to gnu/linux (from unix and
14:19 schestowitz-TR; from windows) they see no other way to stop it or slow it down

14:30 schestowitz-TR; won't be part of the future: christome, gardiner, spamnil...
14:30 schestowitz-TR; they bailed out
14:30 schestowitz-TR; btw, some of spamnil's videos are still heavily click-bot'ed
14:30 schestowitz-TR; when you see 3,000 views with zero commands and one like you know it's that
14:30 schestowitz-TR; adjecent to videos with the same interaction but maybe 30 views
14:30 schestowitz-TR; and they both suck equally
14:30 schestowitz-TR; he's trying to market himself as "occassionally viral"
14:30 schestowitz-TR; by breaking google's ToS
14:30 schestowitz-TR; I'm not cruel enough to report him to Gulag
14:30 schestowitz-TR; wow, he has accelerated the bots
14:30 schestowitz-TR; sooner or later they'll catch him and take action, I suppose
14:32 Techrights-sec; perhaps but the cynic in me says there were be few repercussions for
14:32 Techrights-sec; even getting caught out at that kind of fraud.
14:32 Techrights-sec; s/were/will/
14:32 schestowitz-TR; can lose the entire channel
14:33 Techrights-sec; I would hope so, but the accountability is generally lacking. They are too
14:33 Techrights-sec; busy spending resources demonitizing legitimate channels.
14:35 schestowitz-TR; anyway, feels like kicking a man while he's down
14:35 schestowitz-TR; he used to be a big fan of BN
14:35 schestowitz-TR; I'm waiting for the EPO's meeting that can (probably won't) oust Campinos
14:35 schestowitz-TR; if the circus carries on, it gives us more to publish
14:36 Techrights-sec; Either with him or without him they are most likely to be a clown show
14:36 Techrights-sec; for a while. It will take determination above all, followed by a lot of
14:36 Techrights-sec; effort, to restore the dignitiy and functionality of the institution.
14:36 Techrights-sec; The first step there would be ousting him and changing the hiring procedures
14:36 Techrights-sec; to prevent getting more of the same in the next replacement.
14:39 schestowitz-TR; the national delegates are of the same religion and the social circles overlap
14:39 schestowitz-TR; that too is a challnge -- one that will need expanding upon
14:39 schestowitz-TR; the 50-part series showed many examples of that
14:39 schestowitz-TR; this is NOT an ideaological battle
14:40 schestowitz-TR; it ios a class battle
14:40 schestowitz-TR; these people with their peach-to-the-choir events are fronting for corporpoations and magnates
14:40 schestowitz-TR; they won't budge as long as they're well rewarded
14:40 schestowitz-TR; so we need to convince the workers, those are are not ringleaders in respectgive nations,
14:40 schestowitz-TR; to demand a return to sanity
14:40 schestowitz-TR; any showing of solidarity to the mission, or stated goals, helps change t he sentiments
14:40 schestowitz-TR; KEI was doing this in the area of access to medicine
14:40 schestowitz-TR; I've not heard or seen James Love for years
14:40 Techrights-sec; Correct, like many things these days which are also dressed up as something
14:40 Techrights-sec; else, it is a class battle.
14:44 schestowitz-TR; in the past 2-4 years they've dressed a lot of the "IP" stuff as "D&I" or "DEI"
14:44 schestowitz-TR; they even make up acronyms for these
14:44 schestowitz-TR; LF did the same
14:44 schestowitz-TR; but those are simple to refuse
14:44 schestowitz-TR; IBM has quit some of these pseudo-ethics PR charades
14:44 schestowitz-TR; I suppose seeing it was backfirting rather badly
14:44 schestowitz-TR; just this past sunday I showed how UPC bullshitters were trying to leverage "DUI"
14:44 schestowitz-TR; "DEI"
14:44 schestowitz-TR; with their "DUI" EWPO presiodent ;-)
14:44 schestowitz-TR; /s/refuse/refute/
14:44 schestowitz-TR; important typo
14:44 schestowitz-TR; if the next series is 10 parts, it can start 12 days before the meeting, 5 pasrts would be a week prior
14:44 schestowitz-TR; for maximal effect (short memory span)
14:44 schestowitz-TR; the reps keep asking for the recording
14:44 schestowitz-TR; to bring the topic back
14:45 schestowitz-TR; the f*ing topic back
14:45 schestowitz-TR; f* became a common joke in the EPo
14:45 schestowitz-TR; F* this F* that
14:45 Techrights-sec; ack
14:48 schestowitz-TR; the predictable spoiler is, the petition and the survey will bear results before writing to the Council
14:48 schestowitz-TR; showing 0% approval for Campinos
14:48 schestowitz-TR; you cannot just extend a term of a person if a survey taken by most staff shows this
14:48 schestowitz-TR; or else you too, the Council, get 0%
14:48 schestowitz-TR; (in 2020 the Council was already 0%, Campinos was 3% approval)
14:48 Techrights-sec; one can hope that is the case and that the survey is not just brushed under the
14:48 Techrights-sec; rug
14:49 schestowitz-TR; epi, all the media, maybe except one blogger in kluwer patent blog, will ignore it
14:49 schestowitz-TR; epi is a joke
14:49 schestowitz-TR; the whole systen is like a global force of occupation
14:49 schestowitz-TR; wipo and wto are like the hq foir the nrve sstem
14:49 schestowitz-TR; so we want to find and call out the cross-pollination and inter-orgs corruption
14:55 schestowitz-TR; yes!! windows down to 27%
14:55 schestowitz-TR; brb
14:55 Techrights-sec; ack
15:02 schestowitz-TR; these figures are a pain to microsoft's salespeople and ISVs
15:02 schestowitz-TR; draft
15:05 Techrights-sec; ack
15:05 Techrights-sec; might mention the context: that of client or desktop; all other fields have
15:05 Techrights-sec; basically no trace of M$ except servers and there they are very weak, too
15:07 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
15:07 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
15:07 schestowitz-TR; the moment you say Android people "get" that
15:07 schestowitz-TR; and these figures already factor in the insignificance of Microsoft in a lot of sectors
15:07 schestowitz-TR; maybe I could do another video about netcraft, but there would be a lot of repetition
15:07 schestowitz-TR; the idea is kill the cash cows
15:07 schestowitz-TR; and stop the bailouts
15:07 schestowitz-TR; see the rats jumping to other ships :/
15:07 schestowitz-TR; like 'Linux' Foundation
15:07 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure if jperlow left, he may have been replaced by that "new guy"
15:07 schestowitz-TR; atm we have several orgs on the "run" from a PR POV
15:07 schestowitz-TR; but their stance or damage control strategy is to never publicly acknowledge it
15:08 schestowitz-TR; that campinos went insane because of techrights only egged me on
15:11 Techrights-sec; ack
15:11 Techrights-sec; too bad he was not locked up for any of his infractions or law-breaking
15:11 Techrights-sec; the idea is /to/ kill the cash cows

15:15 schestowitz-TR; I've juust added some bits and link to wikipedia on "common carrier"
15:15 schestowitz-TR; as people underestimate the strategic importance of windows
15:15 Techrights-sec; ack
15:15 Techrights-sec; Common Carrier is very important but not related in anyway to that post
15:17 schestowitz-TR; bug #1 is being resolved, so now Mark Shuttleworth can shill WSL to help Windows retain or gain share
15:17 Techrights-sec; apparently
15:23 schestowitz-TR; published.
15:23 schestowitz-TR; in the coming years we'll need to compound and explain the point about "phones" and "clown" being bad
15:23 schestowitz-TR; no matter whose brand
15:23 schestowitz-TR; no need for digital hermits or "vegans"
15:23 schestowitz-TR; just saner society
15:23 schestowitz-TR; moderation
15:23 schestowitz-TR; social control meida seems to be waning everywhere
15:23 schestowitz-TR; interactions in mastodon became very few
15:23 schestowitz-TR; same thing that happened in diapora years ago
15:23 schestowitz-TR; you have people posting, but little happens beyond that
15:23 Techrights-sec; ack
15:23 schestowitz-TR; going tot ake a break now and think
