03:37 schestowitz-TR2; we got ti right again! github layoffs
04:46 schestowitz-TR2; psydruid: to elaborate a bit
04:46 schestowitz-TR2; for a long time clownflare tolerated
04:46 schestowitz-TR2; copyright infringements
04:47 schestowitz-TR2; nazi sites
04:47 schestowitz-TR2; until 2017 iirc
04:47 schestowitz-TR2; because of daily stormer
04:47 schestowitz-TR2; and did not think a cdn should be in internet policing business
04:47 schestowitz-TR2; so what you see above ia a hateful campaign for an irish transphobe
04:47 schestowitz-TR2; against an american who defends the first amendement
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; not wishing to deplatform site
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; as a cdn
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; so this sinister 'activism' is in fact an attack by mjg on the internet itself
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; sort of like putin
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; gulagboy is an irish putin
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; 'cleansing' the net
04:48 schestowitz-TR2; and riling up lunatics
04:49 schestowitz-TR2; ignore the colourful language
04:49 schestowitz-TR2; the bad language is a secondary issu
04:50 schestowitz-TR2; on the upside, i can now show more about graveley
04:50 schestowitz-TR2; whom gulagboy was rushing to 'defend'
04:50 schestowitz-TR2; to say he was wrongly reported on
04:50 schestowitz-TR2; nope

04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; "
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; As projected here back in October, there is now a class action lawsuit, albeit in its earliest stages, against Microsoft over its blatant license violation through its use of the M$ GitHub Copilot tool. The software project, Copilot, strips copyright licensing and attribution from existing copyrighted code on an unprecedented scale. The class action lawsuit insists that machine learning algorithms, often marketed as "Artificial
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; Intelligence", are not exempt from copyright law nor are the wielders of such tools.
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; The $9 billion in damages is arrived at through scale. When M$ Copilot rips code without attribution and strips the copyright license from it, it violates the DMCA three times. So if olny 1% of its 1.2M users receive such output, the licenses were breached 12k times with translates to 36k DMCA violations, at a very low-ball estimate.
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; "If each user receives just one Output that violates Section 1202 throughout their time using Copilot (up to fifteen months for the earliest adopters), then GitHub and OpenAI have violated the DMCA 3,600,000 times. At minimum statutory damages of $2500 per violation, that translates to $9,000,000,000," the litigants stated.
04:53 schestowitz[TR2]; Besides open-source licenses and DMCA ( 1202, which forbids the removal of copyright-management information), the lawsuit alleges violation of GitHub's terms of service and privacy policies, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other laws."

04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; it also goes years back, YEARS
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; with several incidents of each
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; many victims apparently
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:19] <schestowitz> my wife is reading the police report
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:20] <Source> What police report?[18:20]
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; <Source> The one I sent you the affidavit?
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:23] <Source> Sorry lost you there
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:24] <schestowitz> yes
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:24] <schestowitz> I got:
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:24] <schestowitz> [18:20] <Source> The one I sent you the affidavit?
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:24] <schestowitz> [18:23] <Source> Sorry lost you there
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:25] <schestowitz> maybe there's some software to tell the phone not to turn off network when idle
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:25] <schestowitz> some media players are capable of doing so
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:25] <Source> Yeah I wish there was like caffeine for iPhone
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:26] <Source> I use that on my laptop and it's helpful.
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:26] <schestowitz> I don't use mobile
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:26] <schestowitz> but I heard of "caffeine"
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:28] <Source> So that document is more of a petition to the courts[18:28] <schestowitz> it's quite strong
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:28] <Source> To establish probable cause and acquire a warrant [18:28] <schestowitz> if past victims add to it
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:28] <Source> Caffeine is just a Mac app that keeps your laptop from going to sleep[18:28] <schestowitz> then the warrant is stronger, I guess
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> Well they're both legal documents from a US court systems perspective
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> As long as you're using the word allegations are fine
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> Because the police wrote this document
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> Basically the police arrested him and wrote a report which we don't have
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> And it looks like a couple of days later they went to the court because Alex had run away
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> And they went to the court and said hey we have probable cause to arrest this guy can you issue a warrant[18:29] <schestowitz> it would be good to have hard material for that
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:29] <Source> My friend from France explained to me that the police don't need probable cause in Europe[18:30] <Source> I'm not sure what it's like in the UK
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:30] <Source> But he said that they can just like tell you to empty your pockets for no reason
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:30] <schestowitz> I'm not sure either
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:30] <schestowitz> IANAL
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:30] <Source> yeah so this document is basically just a bunch of paperwork saying that that you have a right to arrest and search Alex's person [18:31] <Source> And that he's going to have to go to court docket to see if the prosecutor wants to it [18:31] <Source> It's sort of like a notification that he needs to go to court to deal with this[18:32] <Source> because in the US we have all these rights around search and sei
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; zure because of the constitution there's more paperwork basically[18:33] <Source> In france they can arrest you and question you without probable cause[18:33] <Source> Not that that doesn't happen that the US. Police make up probable cause all the time[18:33] <Source> Which is what Black Lives Matter is complaining about
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:34] <schestowitz> I see...
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:34] <schestowitz> thanks for cluing me up
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:34] <schestowitz> outside my knowledgebase so to speak
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:34] <Source> Yeah so it's a court document. It has more weight than a police report
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:35] <Source> It means that a officer didn't decide that there was probable cause. It means that the court agreed on the probable cause and that's why he was able to get arrested even though he wasn't in the act of a crime[18:37] <schestowitz> I see
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:38] <Source> There will be another police report about the actual arrest but i haven't gotten it yet[18:39] <Source> Obviously you should fact check what I said. These are Travis County Court proceedings. [18:41] <schestowitz> thanks
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:41] <schestowitz> I will cover this slowly
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:41] <schestowitz> once per week
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:41] <schestowitz> so there's time to verify and relate to current news beats
04:57 schestowitz[TR2]; [18:41] <schestowitz> like Nat 'leaving'

07:03 schestowitz-TR2; maria
07:03 schestowitz-TR2; she had the audscity to use gitlab logo in article about githublayoffs
07:03 schestowitz-TR2; way to confuse
07:03 schestowitz-TR2; these criminals larned from the 90s
07:03 schestowitz-TR2; they need to infltrate andnbribe the media
07:03 schestowitz-TR2; like gangs and mafia infikltrate the polite and the state
07:04 techrightssec; Pure misdirection.
07:04 techrightssec; That there is no connection between GitLab and GitHub is important then
09:24 schestowitz-TR2; your code runs nicely, thank you
09:24 schestowitz-TR2; atm i have a massive file with all the html shown
09:24 schestowitz-TR2; no easy way to fold/unfold

12:02 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes the simpler ones are better
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; not over-engineered
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; easier to learn
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; like cgit
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; many lists of github alternatives would be lists of sites, not software
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; as ifgit itself is never worth learning
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; or as if developers are boors who cannot study how to use it
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; and don't know how to use email
12:03 techrightssec; checking
12:03 techrightssec; might mention a list of M$ GitHub competitors in addition to GitLab
12:03 techrightssec; I'm not sure of a summary of version control hosting services.

12:04 schestowitz-TR2; it seldom breaks news
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; <techrights-news> it looks like the wikipedia article on git was heavily tampered by microsoft and microsofers. even technical articles there have turned into mindless, misleading marketing.
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; [12:09:06] <techrights-news> https://git-scm.com/downloads is promoting github. So you want git and its sends you to PROPRIETARY site of MICROSOFT to get the latest version. Insane. GitHub is an ATTACK on Git. Seems it's already attacked from THE INSIDE.
