11:38 schestowitz-TR; iow, the voters in the us are asked to vote for foreign interests

11:38 schestowitz-TR; not domestic

11:38 schestowitz-TR; oil price as hostage

11:39 Techrights-sec; The public in the US has been trained to respond to the relative fuel pricing

11:39 Techrights-sec; by voting in specified ways: raise the price and people mostly vote against

11:39 Techrights-sec; the incumbents, lower the price and people mostly vote for the incumbents

11:39 Techrights-sec; They've been trained to do that over generations now.

11:40 schestowitz-TR; us fancies speaking of 'election meddling'

11:40 schestowitz-TR; but not in contexts such as these

11:40 schestowitz-TR; crimea: gunpoint referendum

11:40 schestowitz-TR; this: blackmail with cost of living

11:54 schestowitz-TR; some things "the government" says are correct

11:54 schestowitz-TR; but not everything it says is correct

11:54 schestowitz-TR; taking what it says without a grain of salt is bad

11:54 schestowitz-TR; but in the us cynicism is now the default

11:54 schestowitz-TR; esp. as both parties fail the large majority

11:54 schestowitz-TR; regarding prices, nothing is going to change

11:54 schestowitz-TR; esp. if people just obey with the government and its media say

11:54 Techrights-sec; Usually they just bend the truth through multiple, selective omissions

11:54 schestowitz-TR; one recent example here is "Self-checkout" and Spy meters

11:54 schestowitz-TR; what's in it for the consumer?

12:15 Techrights-sec; dated FUD about Zimbra and other projects

12:15 Techrights-sec; One giveaway is the use of the marketing phrase "zero-day"

12:15 Techrights-sec; That used to mean an exploit that was in active use before the vendor admitted

12:15 Techrights-sec; to it existing. Now it just means bug with an exploit.

12:15 schestowitz-TR; and as per Goodin, backdoor means not a backdoor

12:15 schestowitz-TR; just means server got compromised

19:07 schestowitz-TR; seems like a survey

19:07 schestowitz-TR; weird

19:07 schestowitz-TR; I expected better research

19:07 Techrights-sec; perhaps no funding there?

19:08 schestowitz-TR; I'm rather underwhelmed

19:08 schestowitz-TR; the page as a whole, the domain...

19:08 schestowitz-TR; even smaller countries like NZ can do better

19:10 schestowitz-TR; wrose YET, the ZOE study i the UK seems to be absed on "app"

19:10 schestowitz-TR; how many people in the high-risk group bother with "apps"

19:10 schestowitz-TR; seems like a self-selected subgroup

19:10 schestowitz-TR; *selecting

19:10 schestowitz-TR; going by death certificates is more reliable

19:20 Techrights-sec; correct

19:21 schestowitz-TR; i took monday off work

19:21 schestowitz-TR; I have some spare time this weekend

19:22 schestowitz-TR; Why its OK that PGP sucks gemini://idiomdrottning.org/pgp loaded headline

↺ gemini://idiomdrottning.org/pgp

19:28 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Phoronix clickbait about KDE this evening. Sigh.

19:28 schestowitz-TR; Sometimes Phoronix should just link to the original and that is it. No need for commentary. Mailing lists, blogs... just link to them. Don't distort their message.

19:29 schestowitz-TR; yes, but still pgp

19:32 Techrights-sec; yes thunderbird *really* dropped the ball there, and probably did so on

19:32 Techrights-sec; purpose

19:33 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@htpuvr4cww4eq.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

19:34 schestowitz-TR; I still send messages with pgp

19:34 schestowitz-TR; but not even sure how much I trust it

19:34 schestowitz-TR; the CSO for thunderbird is CIA

19:34 schestowitz-TR; and Mozilla is funded by a spying company, Gulag

19:34 schestowitz-TR; it sucks

19:34 Techrights-sec; It's not possible any more with thunderbird...

19:36 schestowitz-TR; gmail's business model is based on going through your email

19:36 schestowitz-TR; pgp thwarts this model

19:36 schestowitz-TR; so mozilla will never strive to make all messages (properly) encrypted

19:36 schestowitz-TR; it also discourages the use of rss

19:36 schestowitz-TR; with rss the mitm spying is hard

19:36 schestowitz-TR; and very much limited (feedburner was dropped; gulag gets more data another way)

19:37 Techrights-sec; Google basically bought her and by extension Mozilla

19:37 Techrights-sec; or vice versa, it does not matter so much which happened first

19:39 schestowitz-TR; considering her age she must be mentally broken and feeble

19:39 schestowitz-TR; to choose to hoard this money

19:39 schestowitz-TR; knowing everyone hates here so much

19:39 schestowitz-TR; inc. many mozills insiders and ex insiders

19:39 schestowitz-TR; except asa who sucks up to her

19:39 schestowitz-TR; but then again career climbing people like these serve the bosses

19:39 schestowitz-TR; in positions of power

19:39 Techrights-sec; ack
