00:39 schestowitz-TR; happy birthday, TM!!

00:39 schestowitz-TR; rianne rebooted her pi today, we tried to push the USB stick to a "blue" port, but then realised it was already in a blue port

00:39 schestowitz-TR; it's still very slow, same when I tried it from USB on my pi

02:48 schestowitz-TR; if you look at the whole context (I did not but I had a quick scroll), you will soon see why

02:48 schestowitz-TR; a) social control media is a waste of time

02:48 schestowitz-TR; b) misinformation and false accusations

02:48 schestowitz-TR; c) causes distress

02:48 schestowitz-TR; I regret even checking why yourtranscript was mentioned in there

07:51 Techrights-sec2; As for kipman, his resignation is in the context of a company with a long

07:51 Techrights-sec2; and pervasive culture of harrassment and even rape. So for him to exceed

07:51 Techrights-sec2; the mores of the company, he must have been really bad. Otherwise they would

07:51 Techrights-sec2; not have considered him such a political liability as to force his resignation.

07:51 Techrights-sec2; makes sense

07:52 Techrights-sec2; see Excerpt 01 - Aalto Talk with Linus Torvalds ...

07:52 Techrights-sec2; any other clips needed from that talk?

07:53 schestowitz-TR; thanks, just woke up, trying to catch up

07:53 schestowitz-TR; brb

07:53 Techrights-sec2; ack


8 AM, June 10

08:14 schestowitz-TR; re kipman I just looked into 2 mroe articles

08:14 schestowitz-TR; to waqtch out for (you watch that area better than me): legal prosecution of some kind

08:14 schestowitz-TR; maybe they proactively distance themeslves

08:14 schestowitz-TR; could be another alex graveley

08:15 schestowitz-TR; they also distance themslves from Gates around March 2020

08:15 schestowitz-TR; a year before the revelations came out

08:15 schestowitz-TR; and the media threw the pervety and criminal under the bus

08:40 schestowitz-TR; draft

08:40 schestowitz-TR; crude first pass

08:40 schestowitz-TR; hope to get feedback before finalising any of it

08:40 schestowitz-TR; we will be leaving to buy food later (vast shop, few people at that time)

08:40 schestowitz-TR; (there is a possibility I'll work for rianne to keep the job and just fully 'retire' myself, then help her if she needs technical

08:40 schestowitz-TR; ahelp, as I did last night when she had VPN collisons)

08:42 Techrights-sec2; ack

08:42 Techrights-sec2; checking

08:42 Techrights-sec2; ack

08:42 Techrights-sec2; checking

08:43 schestowitz-TR; I feel like we shared this clip before, but I think not as its own and locally hosted file

08:43 schestowitz-TR; youtube is social control media with multimedia in place of text

08:44 schestowitz-TR; I always tell rianne not to bother with comments because she does to to read many

08:44 schestowitz-TR; *tend to read

08:44 schestowitz-TR; like she would listen to the video while scrolling through that shitposting below

08:45 Techrights-sec2; s/this publication/eWeek/

08:45 Techrights-sec2; FWIW the question Linus is addressing there in the clip started out about

08:45 Techrights-sec2; software patents

08:47 Techrights-sec2; It should be mentioned that "The Code" is from 2001

08:47 Techrights-sec2; https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315417/

↺ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315417/

08:47 Techrights-sec2; adding an IMDB might futher help promote Hannu's documentary

08:47 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-The Code (2001) - IMDb

08:47 schestowitz-TR; fixed x 2

08:48 Techrights-sec2; Annoying the deIcaza who has only a few words in the documentary is listed like

08:48 Techrights-sec2; a principal

08:49 schestowitz-TR; they compltely left out KDE, which afaik Linus was using when the film came out

08:49 schestowitz-TR; like KDE never existed, set aside other DEs/WMs

08:50 schestowitz-TR; "to the clip showing ..." ought to be a link to the clip itself

08:50 schestowitz-TR; yes KDE was leftout as were others, GNOME was already on the rocks by the

08:50 schestowitz-TR; time the film was made

09:09 Techrights-sec2; m$ seems to be googlebombing "microsoft munchkins" to make

09:09 Techrights-sec2; the relevant posts much harder to find

09:09 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-groups.google.com | Microsoft Munchkins Go Insane

09:10 schestowitz-TR; in my web site I have copies of all my usenet posts, along with selected replies (not trolls)

09:10 schestowitz-TR; gulag is not about preserving information

09:10 schestowitz-TR; maybe it was... a long time ago

09:12 Techrights-sec2; Deja News was and, briefly,Google was for a while afte they bought it out.

09:12 Techrights-sec2; However that was long ago and now they are about steering the message,

09:12 Techrights-sec2; just like FB properties

09:12 schestowitz-TR; that's the nature of the Wen/Net

09:12 schestowitz-TR; Gulag is a big actor in the Web/Net

09:12 schestowitz-TR; but another company would ooner or later do the same for shareholders

09:12 schestowitz-TR; now Gulag works to expand in Saudi Barbaria

09:12 schestowitz-TR; sooooo WOKE!

09:12 Techrights-sec2; ack

09:16 schestowitz-TR; don't worry too much about usenet; I figured out around 2005 it would not last long anyway. That's when I became more involved in sites like digg.

09:16 schestowitz-TR; com, which were a new concept at the time (MySpace had perished, but it was more like gocities, I think)

09:17 Techrights-sec2; ack

09:17 Techrights-sec2; I revisted it because M$ is trying to associatethe term "microsoft munchkins"

09:17 Techrights-sec2; with some product or service rather than astroturfing and brigading

09:18 schestowitz-TR; tbh, I try hard to avoid all search engines these days, unless I troublesheoot some issue (that's what gulag existed for in the first place;

09:18 schestowitz-TR; Larry and Sergey scratching a Linux itch)

09:18 schestowitz-TR; everything on the Web became about "business models" and to some extent the same is true about s/w, hence "Open Source", not SF/FS

10:06 schestowitz-TR; many people think that the Net exists to

10:06 schestowitz-TR; a) spread information

10:06 schestowitz-TR; b) give people a voice

10:06 schestowitz-TR; I remember even in the 1990-s how the Net was used to spread lots of lies

10:06 schestowitz-TR; it's not a anew issue

10:06 schestowitz-TR; but the moral panic is newer

10:06 schestowitz-TR; part of the social control agenda, I think

10:06 schestowitz-TR; moreover, the webspam thing is sometimes imittaing what existed before the web

10:06 schestowitz-TR; with books where was better quality control

10:06 schestowitz-TR; but the books thgat survive to date are onl;y thbetter ones

10:06 schestowitz-TR; and moreover the press always lied

10:06 schestowitz-TR; maybe doing it anonymolus via trolls was harder

10:06 schestowitz-TR; anyway, the Internet is a pile of garbage

10:06 schestowitz-TR; with today's cuuriers even a pile of garbage can hjave valuables in it

15:23 schestowitz-TR; back

15:23 schestowitz-TR; got many fruit today, quarter price

15:23 schestowitz-TR; some bread was 90% off

15:24 schestowitz-TR; so we shared some with birds

15:24 schestowitz-TR; the fruit are OK, rianne will make shakes shortly

15:24 schestowitz-TR; some items are missing from aldi compltely

15:24 schestowitz-TR; like condensed milk

15:24 schestowitz-TR; tesco still has them

15:24 Techrights-sec2; ack

15:24 Techrights-sec2; excellent, were they in good shape anyway?

15:24 Techrights-sec2; nice

15:24 Techrights-sec2; hmm a run on condensed milk?

15:24 Techrights-sec2; what about other long-term storage food items?

15:26 schestowitz-TR; we hava a long of paste with distant expiry dates

15:26 schestowitz-TR; but the covid 'weather forecast' is the main threat right now

15:26 schestowitz-TR; not a lack of food, not here anyway

15:26 schestowitz-TR; there is a superspreader even of OASIS across the road tonight

15:26 schestowitz-TR; packed crowds we cycled through

15:26 schestowitz-TR; last night was ed sheeran again

15:26 Techrights-sec2; :(

15:26 Techrights-sec2; that's unfortunate and unsafe

15:26 schestowitz-TR; they treat things like COVID-19 is some thing in the history book

15:29 schestowitz-TR; at least I am not forced to participate, but later they spread it in other place

15:29 schestowitz-TR; mostly young people

15:29 schestowitz-TR; as I showed in my blog today, covid-19 cases and escalations are worse this summer than june 2021 and 2020

15:29 schestowitz-TR; "counterintuitively" due to media omissions

15:30 Techrights-sec2; media is collectively not covering a lot of topics, that is one of them

15:30 Techrights-sec2; sort of collusion by omission

15:32 schestowitz-TR; at least they do not YY mock people who DO mention it

15:32 schestowitz-TR; we still have 18 test kits with expiry in 2 years

15:32 schestowitz-TR; we camp it out

15:32 schestowitz-TR; heck, maybe I'll even leave the job entirely to focus on what matters

15:32 Techrights-sec2; ack

15:32 schestowitz-TR; I can go back to the workforce in the future if I do technical stuff all day long

15:32 schestowitz-TR; writing a draft about IP5/EPO

15:32 schestowitz-TR; we got a cake for tuxmachines, third price

15:32 schestowitz-TR; choc

15:35 schestowitz-TR; sent recipe to rianne

15:35 schestowitz-TR; we bought a good mixer a decade back

15:35 schestowitz-TR; barely used it since, but it's a good brand, she reckons it should work OK

15:35 schestowitz-TR; we also have a book with cookie recipes ;-

15:35 schestowitz-TR; ;-)

15:49 schestowitz-TR; not recommended

15:49 schestowitz-TR; I used to like tanning, but in the past 5 years it led to some rfreckling

15:49 schestowitz-TR; so I try to more or less refrain now, before it before visible
