08:05 schestowitz-TR; so after posting like 100k posts in mastodon.technology for tuxmachines it is shutting down
08:05 schestowitz-TR; told you it's a bubble

08:45 schestowitz-TR; interesting:
08:45 schestowitz-TR; at around 3am the log for apache on techrights got rotated
08:45 schestowitz-TR; but apache is still writing to the old file handle
08:45 schestowitz-TR; i.e. the one with date at the end
08:45 schestowitz-TR; I cannot recall this every happening ebfore
08:45 schestowitz-TR; we need some arhiving page, like daily index
08:45 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to restart apache
08:46 Techrights-sec; :(
08:46 Techrights-sec; I hadn't seen that before either.
08:46 Techrights-sec; I was recently thinking about the possible migration next year and what needs
08:46 Techrights-sec; to be rewritten first.
08:46 Techrights-sec; Probably the best aproache

13:36 schestowitz-TR; adding a part about blogs now.
13:36 Techrights-sec; checking
13:36 Techrights-sec; probably ought to mention the relevant of self-hosting one's own blog. There are a *lot* of options from simple to complex, from doing it all yourself to
13:36 Techrights-sec; outsourcing larger components. Renting a domain name from a registrar is
13:36 Techrights-sec; not that large an annual cost, or at least I hope it is not.

14:17 schestowitz-TR; people who never spent an iota of their time on those platforms

14:17 schestowitz-TR; their mission and their UI was different once upon a time
14:19 Techrights-sec; ack
14:19 Techrights-sec; Twitter, especially, seemed a dumb idea from day one. However for mass
14:19 Techrights-sec; manipulation of behavior and opinion Bytedance is worst.
14:20 schestowitz-TR; i wonder what it looks like and how it works
14:20 schestowitz-TR; I'll try to find a video that explains this to me

14:33 Techrights-sec; It's a major
14:33 Techrights-sec; surveillance / espionage company but dabbles in propaganda and opinino
14:33 Techrights-sec; modification. AFAIK Palantir and Team Cymru are just espionage. ByteDance
14:33 Techrights-sec; has a strong grip on Gen Z's behaviors, values, mores, and ethics -- or
14:33 Techrights-sec; splitting of those from *all* previous generations
14:33 Techrights-sec; They all work more or less the same, though addictive interfaces and
14:33 Techrights-sec; reinforcement of specific behaviors while squelching other behaviors.

14:58 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Tik-Tok seems like a Bill Gates platform https://yewtu.be/watch?v=qbv-VteX5H8
14:58 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-yewtu.be | TikTok is Poisoning Society - Invidious
14:58 Techrights-sec; "spending more time on social media than eating or drinking combined on a
14:58 Techrights-sec; day to day basis"
14:58 Techrights-sec; I'd say further that the number of contact hours spent with social control
14:58 Techrights-sec; media far exceeds the contact hours spent with friends+family per day.
14:58 Techrights-sec; Even worse, the algorithms are laser-focused on the one individual and their
14:58 Techrights-sec; behavior and resistent to pushback of any kind. With people, there is some
14:59 Techrights-sec; give and take in the interactions. With social control media, it is a one-way
14:59 Techrights-sec; street.
14:59 Techrights-sec; From day one, Tiktok, has targeted children. Now, as a domain name it is
14:59 Techrights-sec; more common than Google, from a DNS usage perspective.
14:59 Techrights-sec; an "hour or two" is a bad estimate more like three to six hours per day
14:59 Techrights-sec; A people behind the great firewall of China even allowed to view TikTok?
14:59 Techrights-sec; If not, then it could be considered a tool for offense.

14:59 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-TikTok dethrones Google as this year's most popular domain - CNET
15:00 schestowitz-TR; the point about whether china uses tiktok inwards, outwards, or both is worthy an inquiry
15:00 schestowitz-TR; after those two videos I have a beter grasp of what tiktok is from a user's POV
15:00 schestowitz-TR; it's not "just an app"
15:00 schestowitz-TR; I thought it was just like scrolling, infinite scrolling, short videos on a "phone"
15:07 schestowitz-TR; these gross things sometimes make me wonder if computing in general was a Bad Idea
15:07 schestowitz-TR; but computers are a general concept
15:07 schestowitz-TR; computers > internet > web > social [sic] media
15:07 schestowitz-TR; and then computers can be split into form factors
15:07 schestowitz-TR; the net effect is a sadder society that works harder in spite of supposed automation
15:07 schestowitz-TR; never mind health effect (sedentary lifestyle)
15:08 Techrights-sec; Computing but loss of control. The person in front of the keyboard out to
15:08 Techrights-sec; have remained in charge, as per RMS' vision. However, spineless worms let
15:08 Techrights-sec; "Freedoms" get whittled away year after year.
15:08 Techrights-sec; They don't work harder, but only longer and less productively. :/
15:08 schestowitz-TR; "only longer and less productively." = still working harder
15:11 Techrights-sec; Automation has been abused to control people rather than as a force multiplier.
15:11 Techrights-sec; Contrast what we have now with what was envisioned 30+ years ago:

15:51 schestowitz-TR; I think I have a better grasp now of what people do on the Net
15:51 schestowitz-TR; aside from DRMovies etc.
15:51 schestowitz-TR; it's not www and not even reading, it's just software withh transport layer
15:54 schestowitz-TR; ---
15:54 schestowitz-TR; the fonts in the 1980s were awful
15:54 schestowitz-TR; maybe this was photoshop on expensive macs
15:54 schestowitz-TR; I remember this PC design with the floppy slots, usually two of them for copying
15:58 schestowitz-TR; ---
15:58 schestowitz-TR; there is room for satire about what "computing" (or "net") became
15:58 schestowitz-TR; but reality is having more shock value than satire
15:58 schestowitz-TR; I saw in full those two videos
15:58 schestowitz-TR; and they did help me see some portions of the "site" tiktok
15:58 schestowitz-TR; it reselbles some things from 20 years ago
15:58 schestowitz-TR; but with higher b/w
15:59 schestowitz-TR; I hope this is now where escapees are moving
15:59 schestowitz-TR; if they recognise that social control media is fruitless
15:59 schestowitz-TR; and meaningless
15:59 schestowitz-TR; but I'm still digesting it
15:59 schestowitz-TR; I hardly see or speak to any young kids, like nephews and nieces
15:59 schestowitz-TR; they seem antisocial to me

16:10 Techrights-sec; Yes, DT had a similar comment about his nieces and nephews being *very*
16:10 Techrights-sec; anti-social and app-addicted.
16:12 schestowitz-TR; oh, shit, I should really watch his video now that it's Sunday
16:12 schestowitz-TR; I never got around to it
16:12 schestowitz-TR; he did speak a few years ago about fatigue and going offline
16:12 schestowitz-TR; his publication style is difficult as he goes for for ydays without saying anything and then goes "live" with something "new"
16:12 schestowitz-TR; one thing I hated about academic is how long it takes to publish even a short paper
16:16 Techrights-sec; This one : https://odysee.com/@DistroTube:2/students-refuse-to-give-up-phones-in:0
16:16 Techrights-sec; But more on ByteDance: https://odysee.com/@switchedtolinux:0/tiktok-tracking-non-users-2:8
16:16 Techrights-sec; though that guy can be a bit too ranty most of the time
16:16 Techrights-sec; The one mistake DT makes in that video is that he asserts that the students
16:16 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-odysee.com | Students Refuse To Give Up Phones In School
16:16 Techrights-sec; own their phones. Legally, they probably don't. First, they are probably
16:16 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-odysee.com | TikTok Tracking Non-Users
16:16 Techrights-sec; registered in their parents' names. Second, you don't own any of that stuff
16:16 Techrights-sec; any more, but instead only granted a temporary license to use the service (app)
16:16 Techrights-sec; while it suits them. Furthermore, many licenses are 20+ 12pt A4 pages long
16:16 Techrights-sec; and grant them *ownership* of what's uploaded. Sadly almost none realise
16:16 Techrights-sec; that they are uploading let alone realize the legal situation.
16:17 schestowitz-TR; uploaders=informants (usually unwittingly)
16:17 schestowitz-TR; never socialise with informants
16:17 Techrights-sec; In the past, I have tried talking sense into people about the social control
16:17 Techrights-sec; media licenses they 'agreed' to, but even when showing them printed paper
16:17 Techrights-sec; with highlighting, they usually remain in full denial about it

16:22 schestowitz-TR; as I can play them in the background
16:22 schestowitz-TR; without losing anything alluded to in the words
16:22 schestowitz-TR; odysee still fails to work with falkon

16:36 *hourram has quit (Quit: Leaving)
18:55 schestowitz-TR; spent the past 1 hour checking how mastodon handles account migration
18:55 schestowitz-TR; all the past posts get lost

18:56 schestowitz-TR; that cannot be migrated or imported
18:56 schestowitz-TR; and many of the "followers" do not get redirected properlt
18:56 schestowitz-TR; nto sure I want to 'bash' them over it
