01:55 psydruid; what happened to IBM that they are now acting more like Microsoft's sidekick?
01:58 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: i wonder the same
01:59 schestowitz-TR; i can make guesses
01:59 schestowitz-TR; but gueeses are no good
01:59 schestowitz-TR; later today we shell be getting new data/lies from ons
01:59 schestowitz-TR; I no longer have confidence in their data
01:59 schestowitz-TR; btw, there's a draft that I've not checked yet, did not find the time before bulletin cutoff time
01:59 schestowitz-TR; now we have some very interesting parts, I think
01:59 schestowitz-TR; in weeks to come

02:07 psydruid; I'm thinking that it's getting harder to find people with Microsoft skills, as I don't see why people have been reaching out to me for jobs with Microsoft products that don't even feature on my resume
02:07 psydruid; Like get a Microsoft person to do Microsoft jobs
02:08 psydruid; It should be easy enough really

02:56 psydruid; it's also lacking information for Asia and Africa
02:57 schestowitz-TR; right

02:57 schestowitz-TR; =western PR firms
02:57 schestowitz-TR; they are only diverse in their sites and catalogues
02:57 schestowitz-TR; and they have RICH clients
02:58 schestowitz-TR; rich like bill gates rich and jeffrey epstein rich
02:58 schestowitz-TR; they have an "image problem"
03:02 schestowitz-TR; if you check gemini stats, you will see something goes on at msft layoffs-wise
03:02 schestowitz-TR; even if "the media" refuses to cover it

03:04 psydruid; this one was linked from Tim Bray's blog article
03:05 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: thanks
03:09 psydruid; I also experienced Andy Farnell's total breakdown of university support systems a few days ago, as I had to install MS Lookout in a Windows VM to then import my e-mail into Thunderbird and then import them on the GNU/Linux side via a shared directory
03:10 psydruid; if this is 21st century university IT, it's the worst it's ever been
03:14 techrigthssec; ack
03:14 techrigthssec; """
03:14 techrigthssec; ... and later, or (2) issue a patent and copyright and reverse-engineering pledge that says "we grant ...
03:14 techrigthssec; """
03:15 schestowitz-TR; john deere?
03:15 techrigthssec; It's not IT, it'd an embedded sales team using university money against the
03:15 techrigthssec; university itself.
03:16 techrigthssec; The above quote is from the end of the lnxwalt link.
03:16 psydruid; they made the change a few months ago requiring OAuth2 client support
03:16 psydruid; multiple requests to support Thunderbird on GNU/Linux fell on deaf ears
03:17 psydruid; I didn't even get a response
03:17 psydruid; so yes, it looks like Microsoft moles embedded on the inside
03:18 psydruid; I don't understand how a university with quite a pro free software stance could go along with this
03:19 psydruid; I would rather change e-mail server software to something else
03:21 techrigthssec; Security theatre
03:21 techrigthssec; But then again the embedded sales teams see IT as an end in itself and not
03:21 techrigthssec; as a means to get any actual work done.
03:21 techrigthssec; As usual, it is about control and if people are working on their own tasks
03:21 techrigthssec; they are not under control of m$ and working under m$
03:21 techrigthssec; as microserfs

06:05 schestowitz-TR; no reply from EFF yet ;-)
06:05 schestowitz-TR; I mentioned them in a new video
06:05 schestowitz-TR; maybe they will surprise me
06:07 mjg59_; Yeah they did defend Weev so who knows
07:09 techrigthssec; that's why EFF is being infiltrated
07:09 techrigthssec; a bunch of nutcase cannot stand the original EFF
07:09 techrigthssec; that had its founders still in-house
07:09 techrigthssec; EFF, RIP
09:54 techrigthssec; If the EFF is no longer fulfilling its charter, it is important to have a public
09:54 techrigthssec; record of that.
