08:55 Techrightssec; FB doesn't need so many people any more now that the election has been tripped
08:55 Techrightssec; up properly.
08:55 Techrightssec; Also people realize that although addicted social control media is a waste of
08:55 Techrightssec; time.

08:55 Techrightssec; encompass politics or ethnicity or religion. FB does this explicitly as well
08:55 Techrightssec; as being able to generate more fine-tuned lists by aggregating several of
08:55 Techrightssec; the data points they collet on people.
08:55 Techrightssec; [citation for the specific laws needed, esp Germany]
08:55 Techrightssec; ^ topic ?
08:56 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I\ve put that down as a topic
08:56 Techrightssec; np
08:57 Techrightssec; They not only do they have those lists as explicit data points but also can
08:57 Techrightssec; generate them and worse on the fly.
08:58 schestowitz-TR; musk says he wants to authenticate users
08:58 schestowitz-TR; that would eliminate many dissident accounts overnight

09:03 Techrightssec; Musk neither knows what he is doing nor cares. It is a mystery how he or
09:03 Techrightssec; his sponsors are going to recover $44bn from what's left of Twitter.
09:03 Techrightssec; Maybe throw a few more elections over time.
09:03 Techrightssec; Like they've helped do so far.
09:08 Techrightssec; Eliminating 'dissident' accounts would be a happy side effect for his sponsors.
09:08 Techrightssec; They have an active history in suppressing dissidents, with or without the
09:08 Techrightssec; use of tandoori ovens.
09:16 Techrightssec; Links scripts can now run on tr-new, but a smooth work flow must be figured out
09:16 Techrightssec; first, especially in regards to Git. Maybe Git should be moved to tr-new first?
09:17 schestowitz-TR; yes, now is a good time as I have time and we don't make many changes at git

13:55 schestowitz-TR; in the truthout rss feed, all the titles are not the headline but say "RSS Circle Icon" in merged-
13:55 schestowitz-TR; maybe soomething has changed in the site or the software chain
14:01 Techrightssec; checking the site, the software has not changed in a while
14:04 schestowitz-TR; due to new deserts, no sites has been worth adding in a while
14:04 schestowitz-TR; some quietly died down, e.g. fossforce
14:04 schestowitz-TR; evewn craig murray is not blogging much these days
14:04 schestowitz-TR; and when he does, it's not esp. interesting/important
14:04 schestowitz-TR; IndyRef, Assange etc. gradually become "old news"
14:04 schestowitz-TR; and he himself becomes old
14:04 schestowitz-TR; I checked assange news this morning, found a few
14:04 schestowitz-TR; not using search but a filter through all my feeds
14:04 schestowitz-TR; polsted in ric and some in Links
14:04 Techrightssec; I wonder what's up. There are hundreds of defunct sites listed in the OPML file
14:04 Techrightssec; here.
14:04 Techrightssec; Speaking of Assange, there seems to be news blackout on him. Some trouble
14:04 Techrightssec; would then be brewing. It's probably time to check if any updates can be found.
14:07 Techrightssec; Interesting, the parser chokes on an embedded SVG which also contains a //title
14:07 Techrightssec; XPath. Fortunately another XPath can be found for the feed.
14:08 schestowitz-TR; there are no strict standards for those things
14:08 schestowitz-TR; same for html
14:08 schestowitz-TR; specs
14:08 Techrightssec; It shouldn't be a problem it is just that the parser pre-dates that practice
14:08 Techrightssec; by many years.
14:10 Techrightssec; The W3C Validtaor shows lots of full Errors with that site
14:10 Techrightssec; so it's not a surprise that the content can be a be wonky.
14:11 schestowitz-TR; this site is generally ok and worth keeping
14:11 schestowitz-TR; a lot of that is commondream repsosts, but not all
14:11 schestowitz-TR; they rarely say things that are very obv. false or inflammatary
14:11 Techrightssec; Yes.
14:15 schestowitz-TR; i think that rather than radar detectors now you have some people with "apps" that help report
14:15 schestowitz-TR; where to slow down
14:15 schestowitz-TR; but i stopped driving ages ago
14:15 schestowitz-TR; and lack the incentive to buy a car based on what I read, inc. last week about cars with 3g in them losing functionality after
14:15 schestowitz-TR; as little as one decade
14:15 schestowitz-TR; rianne's dad still drives a 30 yo clunker
14:19 schestowitz-TR; maybe buy a tesla and wait fore the 20th MASS recall of 2022
14:19 schestowitz-TR; maybe after twitter musk will have some loose change left to issue compensation
14:19 schestowitz-TR; rather than give the inconvenience of NOT having a car for WEEK
14:19 schestowitz-TR; just waiting to get back what you ALREADY paid for
14:19 schestowitz-TR; based on false advertising
14:19 schestowitz-TR; e.g. brakes that actually work
14:19 schestowitz-TR; and stweering wheel that - gasp - allows YOU to control the car
14:19 schestowitz-TR; dfc told a story yesterday on how kia takes over the wheel
14:19 schestowitz-TR; I thought it was limited to brakes and sometimes throttle
14:19 schestowitz-TR; i reckon today's pedal are like "arcade" pedals
14:19 schestowitz-TR; nothing physical behind them, just like a fucking button
14:20 schestowitz-TR; they gradually turn "CAR SIMULATORS" into actual cars!

20:06 schestowitz-TR; in repo or IMG?

20:07 Techrightssec; The repository in question is archive.raspberrypi.org not anything m$
20:07 Techrightssec; that much is good.
20:08 schestowitz-TR; in that case, the aforementioned article is, at best, poorly worded
20:08 Techrightssec; It seems that the article is based on out of date or just plain wrong assumptions and poorly worded.
20:09 schestowitz-TR; a bit of a relief tbh
20:11 Techrightssec; What actually is problematic is when official RPi articles go out of their
20:11 Techrightssec; way to boost m$ gimmicks or show images featurign m$ logos and displays
