08:12 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, the disclosure are strategic in terms of time and mibbit was used only once, ages ago

08:12 schestowitz-TR; *disclosures

08:13 schestowitz-TR; Nat Friedman likely knew what was coming

08:13 schestowitz-TR; but giving too much of a headsup would undermine the series

08:22 Techrights-sec; not just the series but the more important aspect is the actual case

08:22 schestowitz-TR; there are many more angles to it, inc. GPL matters and Monoi

08:22 schestowitz-TR; the series throws the company into a bit of disarray

08:23 Techrights-sec; ack

08:23 schestowitz-TR; there has also been slapp in the mix, but the series helped defuse that

08:24 Techrights-sec; that is very good all around

08:25 schestowitz-TR; a man in prison cannot sue

08:27 schestowitz-TR; woww!!!!

08:27 schestowitz-TR; 'hacker' news has just removeed the story

08:27 schestowitz-TR; worse: they remolveed ALL mentions of the name!!

08:29 Techrights-sec; as far as I have read that would only put him at a disadvantage

08:29 Techrights-sec; yep. HN is a m$ shop through and through

08:29 Techrights-sec; HN will act more agressively like that as things work closer and closer to bill

08:31 schestowitz-TR; this is inedible, it's good I made a backup over irc

08:37 Techrights-sec; yes HN, among others, are not to be trusted

08:37 schestowitz-TR; I have made more backups just now

08:37 schestowitz-TR; I won't bore you with the details but

08:38 schestowitz-TR; short story is, something very big is happening

08:38 schestowitz-TR; and it looks like the victims is made to change the story

08:38 schestowitz-TR; contradicting her own PUBLIC account of what had happened

08:38 schestowitz-TR; maybe money or something involved

08:39 Techrights-sec; excellent

08:39 Techrights-sec; that in itself is a big story

08:40 Techrights-sec; btw

08:40 Techrights-sec; afaik graveley is associated with ycombinator

08:40 Techrights-sec; you know who conrols HN

08:40 schestowitz-TR; btw

08:40 schestowitz-TR; afaik graveley is associated with ycombinator

08:40 schestowitz-TR; you know who conrols HN

08:41 Techrights-sec; with everything so centralized online revisionism is not just technically feasible but even easy.

08:41 Techrights-sec; My opinion of HN and its agendas has always been low, this jst lowers it further

08:44 schestowitz-TR; let me try if I can demonstreate the revisionism and contradiciton from

08:44 schestowitz-TR; the horse's own mouth

08:44 Techrights-sec; good idea

08:46 schestowitz-TR; somebody spent like a fucking HOUR redacting like 100 things, named and links, in

08:46 schestowitz-TR; the HN page

08:46 Techrights-sec; interesting

08:47 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft employees in then thread They admit this.

08:50 Techrights-sec; I suppose more will be hidden by NDAs and nondisparagement clauses in termination

08:50 Techrights-sec; contracts

09:06 schestowitz; <p>The Legend of Tianding is a Taiwanese game. Asia is comprised of many small countries but very few are actually powerhouses when it comes to video game development. Japan more or less created the video games industry in the first place (Nintendo created the worldwide mass market with the NES and everything derived from there), then Korea created the online PC gaming market before anyone else, and thats about it.

09:06 schestowitz; China has its owned closed market that nobody knows (or cares) about, so its kind of irrelevant. Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan have a few devs here and there but by far and large nothing major. So I had very low expectations to begin with. Well, virtually anyone with half a brain can make a 2D platformer, but doing it well requires talent and experience. In that context, The Legend of Tianding is an excellent surprise.</p></blockquote></li>

09:13 schestowitz; Liz's boss, Charity Majors, has been friends with [name redacted] and Nat since she was 17 and [name redacted] was 15 through their "Hungry Programmers" organization.

09:13 schestowitz; Liz works with another friend of their staff engineers Chris Toshok, who interestingly enough was dating Charity when she was underage and he is 9 years her senior.

09:13 schestowitz; Charity and Chris are connected to a credit card hacker Max Visions, which is documented in the non-fiction book Kingpin by Kevin Poulsen https://www.kingpin.cc/about/

09:13 schestowitz; Liz Fong-Jones uses the fact that she donated money to create the Solidarity Fund to decide who is a valid whistleblower or not.

09:18 Techrights-sec; they're trying to conflate facts with opinions again

09:20 schestowitz-TR; I want to brainstorm this for a bit

09:20 schestowitz-TR; so basically, lotas of ad hominem against the accuser

09:20 schestowitz-TR; microsoft staff getting involved

09:20 schestowitz-TR; lots of censorsdhip

09:20 schestowitz-TR; tweets, hacker news

09:20 schestowitz-TR; and maybe witness tampering

09:20 schestowitz-TR; so I'm thinking, get the confessions from the origiunal source out there

09:20 schestowitz-TR; those will be impossible to dispute

09:20 schestowitz-TR; and keep on presssing the issue

09:20 schestowitz-TR; now there's this method is trying tto insert a wedge between source and me

09:20 Techrights-sec; which method, specifically?

09:21 schestowitz-TR; it goes something along the lines of, dob't speak to this persoin

09:21 schestowitz-TR; or, if you do, then [consequences]

09:21 schestowitz-TR; [reasons], [consequences] false

09:22 Techrights-sec; aside from the appreance of extortion, the logic is flawed, but rather than

09:22 Techrights-sec; quibble about the falseness of the logic, address the illegality of the

09:22 Techrights-sec; extortion or witness tampering

09:22 schestowitz-TR; if only you have proof of the tampering

09:23 schestowitz-TR; the immigration services might be involved in this too, she is chinese so microsoft could in theory leverage this too

09:26 Techrights-sec; how many, if any, police reports remain to be published in redacted form?

09:26 Techrights-sec; yes, M$ plays very dirty, always has. One of the more difficult challenges,

09:26 Techrights-sec; going back to an old problem, is that too many people mistake social media

09:26 Techrights-sec; for comminications instead of a disinformation/misinformation channel. Theu

09:26 Techrights-sec; even mistake it for not being about mass manipulation of public opinion. So

09:40 Techrights-sec; back in a short bit

09:42 schestowitz-TR; great point!!

09:42 schestowitz-TR; I mean,

09:42 schestowitz-TR; think aboiut it

09:42 schestowitz-TR; are we under an actual burden to prove the incident did happen?

09:42 schestowitz-TR; the thread has now been buried hidden

09:42 schestowitz-TR; they labeled it [Dead]

09:42 schestowitz-TR; removede the headline

09:42 schestowitz-TR; so the denials are now there

09:42 schestowitz-TR; I think that account could be fake

09:42 schestowitz-TR; with the sole intention of just killing the pagfe,

09:42 schestowitz-TR; by moderator

09:43 schestowitz-TR; so, when I think about it, most people saw the report

09:43 schestowitz-TR; not the revisionism

09:43 schestowitz-TR; but

09:43 schestowitz-TR; in case a googlebombing revidionism campaign kicks off

09:43 schestowitz-TR; it would be useful to have confirmatory material

09:44 schestowitz-TR; I said right from the start, save all evidence

09:44 schestowitz-TR; as it can vanish later

09:44 schestowitz-TR; so one way or another we have what we ned regardless

09:44 schestowitz-TR; will do the EU video next

10:17 schestowitz; I have archived the page.

10:17 schestowitz; You should ask the police if it's true they were asked to amend the complaint. If not, this is an imposter/sockpuppet, which should be reported to the police as impersonator of the victim.

13:35 Techrights-sec; wouldn't be the first time they maneuver like that

13:36 schestowitz-TR; let me put the draft in wordpress while I still edit....

13:36 schestowitz-TR; done

13:39 Techrights-sec; I'd say it's more likely misframed. By this decade more ought to know about

13:39 Techrights-sec; what general purpose computing is about, so there is not the excuse of it being

13:39 Techrights-sec; novel. Same with machine learning, where the innovation was in the 1970s and

13:39 Techrights-sec; 1980s, but the computing power didn't catch up with the theory until the last

13:39 Techrights-sec; decade or so.

17:50 Techrights-sec; there was a //blockquote//pre in gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/01/11/buzzwo

gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/01/11/buzzwo

17:50 Techrights-sec; rds-from-brussels/

17:50 Techrights-sec; so some changes were needed to the parser, "just" an addition but look for

17:50 Techrights-sec; potential breakage anyway

17:50 schestowitz-TR; it is good that you read it from there and can spot such issues

17:50 Techrights-sec; np

17:51 Techrights-sec; it's impossible to find all cases in advance

17:51 schestowitz-TR; assuming that over time (years?) this code will mature maybe it can be further generalised and adopted by more sites/capsules

17:52 Techrights-sec; however, should the pre within a block quote be treated as a quote, as it is

17:52 Techrights-sec; for now, or should it be treated as preformatted text? I think if it turns up

17:52 Techrights-sec; outside the blockquote it should be preformatted.

17:53 schestowitz-TR; assuming that over time (years?) this code will mature maybe it can be further generalised and adopted by more sites/capsules

17:53 schestowitz-TR; '''

17:53 schestowitz-TR; with slanted apostrophes

18:00 Techrights-sec; I'd say it started out tied to the specific layout of TR and has only grown

18:00 Techrights-sec; more tightly tied to that formatting.

18:01 schestowitz-TR; I can change my templates to retrofit the specs of gemini if you guide me through...

18:07 Techrights-sec; AFAIK nothing needs changing, just consistency. So continue as before and the

18:07 Techrights-sec; scripts keep working. :/

18:07 Techrights-sec; some commits pushed into Git now

18:08 schestowitz-TR; excellent. btw, i got a lot more info on github and there's strong consensus we deal with sockpupptry now

18:10 Techrights-sec; can HN / Reddit be compelled to provide material for 'discovery' ?

18:10 Techrights-sec; A secondary benefit would show how they 1) work *for* M$ and its minions, and

18:10 Techrights-sec; 2) how they censor like crazy to further those goals

18:10 schestowitz-TR; there might be a counter-suit for defamation

18:11 Techrights-sec; SLAPP

18:11 Techrights-sec; The lawyers would know better but suits like that would be considered harassing

18:11 Techrights-sec; since truth is not defamation.
