06:43 techrights[sec]; Which article? There is none recent in the daily links and the
06:43 techrights[sec]; 6th had one on elephants but no photos.
06:43 techrights[sec]; The claim of a male circus elephant is suspcious becauwe those are usually
06:43 techrights[sec]; female due to the males' temprament and unwillingness to put up with BS

09:38 techrights[sec]; Louis Rossmann has started a series on trying to get some state agency to
09:38 techrights[sec]; clarify or fix its records. The process goes beyong byzantine and is really
09:38 techrights[sec]; more kafkaesque

15:48 schestowitz-pi2; for the first time ever i lost my working file for daily links
15:48 schestowitz-pi2; despite working on it locally over ssh
15:48 schestowitz-pi2; so in case the machine dies I have remote
15:48 schestowitz-pi2; and if remote down
15:48 schestowitz-pi2; then I have local

15:48 schestowitz-pi2; good news: after some checks I found that under /tmp kate kept a LOCAL
15:48 schestowitz-pi2; copy
15:49 schestowitz-pi2; so I lost nothing, only about 5 minutes
15:49 schestowitz-pi2; it's good that it keeps such backups

16:33 techrights[sec]; The privacy aspect is a real problem but nonetheless a complete distraction
16:33 techrights[sec]; from the more serious damage to physical and mental health. That in turn is
16:33 techrights[sec]; only a drop in the bucket compared to the cultural damage that has been
16:33 techrights[sec]; inflicted on an entire generation. If it goes longer, and the politicians here
16:33 techrights[sec]; will ensure that it does, then I will have to call it what it is

18:00 schestowitz-pi2; microsoft censoring, spying on and curating reality for free software is not an option
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; there's no room for compromise on this, not negotiable
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; but what seems to be happening is, astroturfing platforms like reddit
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; and a handful of bribes
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; of chains people to this delusion that DDG must be OK
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; because tor (bribed) et al use it and say it's safer
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; even if they could not spy, the "curation" (censorship) itself
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; places much power in the hands of organised crime
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; and now ddg announced integration of microsoft hey hi
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; i will press rms again if needed
18:00 schestowitz-pi2; maybe fsf is "worried" speaking out against what many fools use

18:19 schestowitz-pi2; i am still a lot more afraid of the live virus
18:19 schestowitz-pi2; not the synthetic stuff
18:19 schestowitz-pi2; but.. it's getting harder to avoid people who are unmasked
18:19 schestowitz-pi2; rianne is in the library at the moment
18:19 schestowitz-pi2; they speak to her
18:19 schestowitz-pi2; so she will take off the masks
18:19 schestowitz-pi2; of course they wear none themselves, so droplets are free to fly both ways
18:36 schestowitz-pi2; we take several parameters other than time into account
18:36 schestowitz-pi2; and sometimes skip some vendors/stores
18:36 schestowitz-pi2; but then again, lots of options in the market and centre of town
18:36 schestowitz-pi2; sometimes I just go "too many people, we are GOING"
