04:46 schestowitz; but any rough ETA for account migration feature released and distributed to pods?
04:46 schestowitz; No, no rough ETA. We're thinking in the timespans of many months, not weeks.
04:46 schestowitz; As a side note, the @schestowitz account still cannot export its data, should that be treported by email?
04:46 schestowitz; We're aware, no need to report! You'll get an email when it's ready.

14:15 schestowitz; [SUEPO] Safeguard your rights against the zero adjustment of salaries and pensions in 2022
14:15 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,
14:15 schestowitz; The new salary adjustment procedure has caused a loss of purchasing power for all staff and pensioners of the EPO. Its application for 2022 has even resulted in a freeze of salaries and pensions. Looking at the rising cost of living, this zero adjustment - visible in the salary slips and pension statements for January 2022 - is all the more significant.
14:15 schestowitz;
14:15 schestowitz; The Central Bureau of SUEPO considers the salary adjustment procedure and its implementation for 2022 illegal. Please find in the attachment a model Request for Review (RfR) for active staff and a model RfR for pensioners so that you can safeguard your rights. Even if you already opposed the adjustment in January 2021 using the templates provided by SUEPO, it is advisable to take action again now. The exception clause causing the zero adjustment
14:15 schestowitz; has been applied for the first time.
14:15 schestowitz; DOWNLOAD RfR for active employees
14:16 schestowitz; DOWNLOAD RfR for pensioners
14:16 schestowitz; In order to safeguard your rights, you should file the RfR by 15 March 2022 by following the instructions below:

14:23 schestowitz-TR2; ota
14:23 schestowitz-TR2; draft
14:23 schestowitz-TR2; recent articles or videos were so effective
14:23 schestowitz-TR2; that we now get ad hominem trolls in irc
14:23 Techrights-sec; typical
14:23 Techrights-sec; they can't come with anything better, so it shows where to hit them harder again
15:06 *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
15:10 Techrights-sec; Spafford and many others also backed down over the years and one of the more
15:10 Techrights-sec; harmful turns has been the folding of the EFF.
15:11 schestowitz-TR2; when I see eff links I nowadays get all cynical and/or scepticasl
15:11 schestowitz-TR2; because either they hit thew wrong issue
15:11 schestowitz-TR2; or take a position which does not make sense
15:11 schestowitz-TR2; or both
15:11 Techrights-sec; ack
15:11 Techrights-sec; I figure they were planning on deposing Barlow when he up and died anyway.
15:12 schestowitz-TR2; think began to sour while he was still there and healthy
15:12 schestowitz-TR2; wrong HR decisions
15:12 schestowitz-TR2; then, friend-brings-a-friend magnifies the issue
15:13 Techrights-sec; YEs, infiltration that way.
15:13 Techrights-sec; For the most part, the EFF appears rudderless. That was probably one of the
15:13 Techrights-sec; goals, so that it stopped addressing the purposes it was founded for.
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; Or, as one can see in the FSF, there is fear associating with tackling key issues
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; but let me set that aside for a moment
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; and try to trace back the modus operandi
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; I think you hire some people who do not care about the org
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; they can be branded as enriching
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. to the image
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; but not of substance associated with goals
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; nor qualified
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; then they bring in money nfrom the wrong party
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; like mozilla or LF
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; then yoiu become depoendent on that money
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; or else you lose staff, so they fight to keep the money
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; this gives them power
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. Wim wanting to say why he quit Microsoft
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; surely oracles did not offer him more moneyu
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; they could do that to prevent him leaving
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; so he saw something at microsoft
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; but now, inside LF board, if he speaks out
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; Microsoft can turn around and asay, remove wim
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; or we stop paying linux foundaitoon and retaliate in other nways to
15:17 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. through shithub
15:18 schestowitz-TR2; linus was never supposed to let these chaions of idiots form power around kernel.oirg
15:18 schestowitz-TR2; not it is too late
15:18 schestowitz-TR2; they have him by the b0lls
15:18 Techrights-sec; sounds about right
15:18 Techrights-sec; LT can *maybe* still take his trademark and walk. It'd be a big deal and a lot
15:18 Techrights-sec; of work but maybe less of a problem for him than if he stays on and continues
15:18 Techrights-sec; being marginalized further every month.
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; the media would blast him (you can imagine poissible angles)
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; he does not control the media
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; so it would undermine whatever his reasons (stated)
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; and goals
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; the media can misrepresent him
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; maybe some "old" thing or "man" thing
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; with RMS they can choose more political angles
15:21 Techrights-sec; With MIT, they had a lot of their own dirt to distract from not just Bill's
15:21 schestowitz-TR2; LT was reduced to almost clerical role, "Release Manager"
15:21 schestowitz-TR2; he does not pay a big role in decisions
15:21 schestowitz-TR2; things like rust are for gulag and its proxy groups to make
15:21 schestowitz-TR2; LT just signs off
15:22 Techrights-sec; Nope. That was a reason for their deposing him.
15:22 Techrights-sec; Rubberstamp mostly, if things are as they look.
15:23 schestowitz-TR2; I keep forgetting (should memorise this) the proxy group created to paint rust as a "security" thing
15:24 schestowitz-TR2; as nobody would oppose security, esp. not when media portrays even local priv escalation
15:24 schestowitz-TR2; like the equivalent of Windows botnets
15:24 Techrights-sec; "security" has been the go-to excuse of microsofters, especially when they
15:24 Techrights-sec; do a search-and-destroy campaign against non-M$ software from the desktops
15:24 Techrights-sec; of work environments.

19:21 Techrights-sec; gemini has not been updating since many hours ago. Trying manually for a
19:21 Techrights-sec; second time. The first manual attempt failed with "Could not find feed at URL: "http://techrights.org/feed/"
19:21 schestowitz-TR2; i have just changed trafffic shaping mode to make it easier to complete
19:21 schestowitz-TR2; do you have video topic suggestions? (I might as well ask)
19:21 Techrights-sec; thanks
19:21 Techrights-sec; not at the moment, there was a video link yesterday about software
19:21 Techrights-sec; patents in the 3D community. It was long but it is full of mistakes and
19:21 Techrights-sec; misframings, so might provide fodder for a long time.
19:21 Techrights-sec; There was another one by Braxman which was very well done and showed a rather
19:22 Techrights-sec; thorough understanding of copyright, software freedom, and licensing, but
19:22 Techrights-sec; he appeared to intentionally misuse terminology. Perhaps that was to reach
19:22 Techrights-sec; a different audience.
19:22 Techrights-sec; The M$ clown show, OSI, can be observed in action these days. Similar
19:22 Techrights-sec; astroturfers and their catspaws are still trying to derail the FSF.
19:22 Techrights-sec; .. as seen on the LibrePlanet list among other places.
19:22 Techrights-sec; The braxman one is really quite good if one listens to the definitions he
19:22 Techrights-sec; expands on. Therefore I think he has misapplied the terminology intentionally
19:22 Techrights-sec; but not out of malice.
19:22 Techrights-sec; ack
19:22 Techrights-sec; no need to address either directly but the can be used to find point to address
19:22 Techrights-sec; indpendently
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; I will check the links, which I saw in passing
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; doing a video bout a video is VERY difficult
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; I think I do not even need to explain why :-D
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; Evern doing an article about a video is hard, unless the video is split into
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; many tiny portions
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; btw, do you use gemini to keep abrast of posts in irc?

19:32 Techrights-sec; I try to use it for that
19:33 schestowitz-TR2; I am linking to gemini more often now, building the "planet" little by little to see what
19:33 schestowitz-TR2; capsulkes I like and update habitually
19:34 Techrights-sec; mostly I wait for the logs
19:35 schestowitz-TR2; iurc was a massively important investment for us
19:35 schestowitz-TR2; if you look aroiund at blogs, esp. patent and linux ones, they barely get comments anymore
19:35 schestowitz-TR2; and social contreol media no longer makes up for it
19:35 schestowitz-TR2; those are dead ends and make it hard to have meaningful conversations due to delays and UI shittiness
19:36 Techrights-sec; yes, people realize the others had turned to shilling
19:36 Techrights-sec; the readers fully abandoned them at that point
19:36 Techrights-sec; it looks like the patent lobby is putting in a minimal investment in say-for-pay
19:36 Techrights-sec; articles without expectation of wide promulgation or readership
19:37 schestowitz-TR2; yesk, that is another important factor
19:37 schestowitz-TR2; I recalled last week
19:37 schestowitz-TR2; when you publish a lonf piece and expect less thaqn 100 people to see it
19:37 schestowitz-TR2; you would barely even bother
19:38 Techrights-sec; They probably do not reach even that many nowadays.
19:38 Techrights-sec; I'm not quite sure the purpose those servce anymore, maybe just placeholders/
19:38 Techrights-sec; ?
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; yesk, that is another important factor
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; I recalled last week
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; when you publish a lonf piece and expect less thaqn 100 people to see it
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; you would barely even bother
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; go now to linux.com
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; http/https
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; click on any of the latest stories
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; see the eye at top right
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; refresh page
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; so no, it's not even a low count due to caching
19:39 schestowitz-TR2; pathetic!
19:40 Techrights-sec; Unappealing titles there.
19:40 Techrights-sec; one has some shilling for the anti-foss entity snyk
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; yes, I mentioned them by nmame re "security" "census" or whatever they called it
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; OSI did one recently
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; then LF
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; then Red Hat... also ona Mac
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; you might think these are long reports
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; large file, many pages
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; but after some forward it's justa mindless shopping list
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; cheaply-produced utter junk
19:42 schestowitz-TR2; someone in lxer.com commented on it
19:43 schestowitz-TR2; *foreword
19:43 Techrights-sec; not worth the time it took to skim through it :(
19:44 Techrights-sec; Yes, there is not really any content in the Linux.com "articles" they look
19:44 Techrights-sec; like corporate filler.
19:44 schestowitz-TR2; they hardly even get their money's or time's worth off it anymore
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; let's now assume the people who now run something foundatiion care
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; for that something
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; I recently did an animated meme of zemlin with gates foundation on him
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; saying go away, linux users
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; to them, we are the econoy, microsoft is the friend
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; they only count what smells like cash
19:49 Techrights-sec; Which is stupid since they could be doing great things with the site in regards
19:49 Techrights-sec; to advancing the kernel. However, the LF has changed goals and is about
19:49 Techrights-sec; representing corporate interests within the kernel and not only fails to
19:49 Techrights-sec; advance or promote the kernel but actively harms it.
19:49 Techrights-sec; Yes they promote even hostile interests within the kernel, instead of advancing
19:49 Techrights-sec; the kernel or promoting it to the corporate world.
19:49 Techrights-sec; short term cash with strings attached instead of boatloads of cash from
19:49 Techrights-sec; independence.
19:50 schestowitz-TR2; they never ever respond to FUD against Linux
19:50 schestowitz-TR2; or patent threats against it
19:50 schestowitz-TR2; BUT WAIT
19:50 schestowitz-TR2; Worst yet: they promote NON-Linux kernekls
19:50 schestowitz-TR2; and perlow wrote a blog post, a long one, to justify this!
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; based on the cimin, the heckler/troll in irc todqay and last night
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; was connected to the gulagtube "influencer circlejerk
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; The 'Linux' games has just done a video together
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; with thwe anti-RMS lobby
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; for the lols I opened tfir at gulagtube, seeing video from 7 days ago with 14 views
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; go "swap"
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; BBB
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; I meant "the Linux Gamer"
19:55 schestowitz-TR2; who now shills Windows too
19:56 Techrights-sec; Games?
19:56 Techrights-sec; Waste of time.
19:56 Techrights-sec; Which games?
19:56 Techrights-sec; Has he sold out recently? He was quite good until a few weeks ago and then
19:56 Techrights-sec; suddenly he was pushing Windows and not making appealing videos any more.
19:56 Techrights-sec; He did quite mysteriously acquire a whole building...
19:57 schestowitz-TR2; not only that; like micro larabel he foolishly bragged about it
19:57 schestowitz-TR2; based on thje timing of the troll in irc
19:57 schestowitz-TR2; I reckon it might be him
19:57 schestowitz-TR2; but I cannot prove it
19:57 Techrights-sec; It'd be hard to prove.
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; but doable
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; not easy
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; takes time
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; not privacy-respecting
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; the irc logs and mibbit suffix show ip
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; i think he is based near maine
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; I do not want to check
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; it is n ot honourablea
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; and he was being evasive
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; reminds me of mister wsl, sho still wrote to me in twitter
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; to shill wsl even though he quit working on it
19:59 schestowitz-TR2; he used to come to our irc channels with mysterious names
19:59 Techrights-sec; "quit"
